You know - mainstream traditional uses of the promise ring are for kinda like pre-engagement rings. Obviously you don't fall into this category - so the question, as etiquette would dictate, what is the purpose you would want to give one to her for (don't need to answer that question here). Promise rings are suppose to be given with an exact purpose. And they really can be anything - single set stone, heart shaped, single bands, birthstones, etc - but they really don't cost a lot. Couple hundred bucks at the most.

And I would say unless there is a real specific reason for just you to give her a ring - it should really come from the both of you.

Also - don't be upset if she doesn't know what a promise ring is - most of today's kids are not really up on etiquette like they were 30, 40 50 years ago.

And no - I didn't buy them for either of my daughters.
