   An engagement ring actually means something…promise rings are what high schoolers give each other after dating for a month.

   A promise ring is usually found on the hands of high school kids. An engagement ring acutally carries the promise of marriage.

   Ha! These answers are so funny (and sadly true)!

   A promise ring is saying “I promise to be in a long term relationship. I think I love you. I’m showing the whole playground that you’re my girlfriend”. Price: between $50 and $200

   An engagement ring is the one you want to have An engagement ring means “I’ve asked you to marry me and you’ve said yes. This ring cost me an arm and a leg but the one that follows this one will mean I can’t eat for a few months!”
   Price: between $500-$5000 ($5,000 is on the very generous side)

   A promise ring is what my grandma called “an engaged to be engaged ring,” sort of the equivalent of being “pinned” in our parent’s generation.

   Promise ring is a proof of a person’s promise to that particular person (Either a promise to get engaged or marriage or friendship or to be loyal and faithful..)

   Engagement ring is the popular ring given to those who are already committed / engaged to be married.

   A promise ring is more to say that you will only see each other. An engagement ring is a promise to marry.

    A promise ring is kind of for kids…like we’re really serious, but too young for marriage. An engagement ring is what is given when a man proposes to actually marry the woman.
