Purity is said to have made a comeback, and what better way to express your vow for purity than with precious purity rings. With popular young celebrities proclaiming their vows to stay pure until they get married, namely the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus and Jordin Sparks, purity rings have gained the spotlight and becoming a popular choice for a good majority of teenagers.
These rings are also known as chastity rings or promise rings. Most of the time, they are embellished with words like "True Love Waits," or "One Life One Love," constantly serving as a reminder to the wearer about his or her commitment to chastity and waiting for the right one.
This practice was originally started during the 1990's and was a way to discourage premarital sex among young people especially. Today, decades after the movement was first started, purity rings are still popular.
Chastity rings are usually worn on the ring finger of the left hand by a person who has decided to commit to purity until marriage.
Other times, they are worn as necklaces around the neck. Despite the influence of movies and television, the concept of chastity is slowly gaining popularity again. Teens and kids who want to showcase their individuality and commit to their faith or simply just decided to remain celibate until marriage will find having purity rings as a good way to get their message across.
This will separate them from their peers who freely give into sex without much thought of the possible consequences.
