Purity Ring - What to do with it?

I am not personally familiar with purity rings I think it would be a wonderful thing to give your FH as a sentimental gift, it would also be something to give your children when they turn 16 you could turn it into a family heir loom. Or you could give it to your parents and they could maybe scrap book it and then when the time comes and the scrap book becomes yours then you will have it to remember always. It honestly all depends on what you feel is most right.

I don't have any experience with a purity ring but i love the idea of giving it to your parents as a thank you gift .it's up to you. me, i would keep it and give it to my daughter (if i were ever to have one). But i'd say go with giving it to your parents...

I would give it to my FH (I didn't have a purity ring.. I ruined that chance quite some time ago lol) if I had one.

I think it's sweet and romantic.. granted, I don't know what he is supposed to do with it after that, but I wouldn't know what your parents would do with it either.. ? At least you could then put the ring with your wedding other keepsakes.

That's the thing, ladies, I don't know what they would do with it if I gave it to my parents. Atleast if I gave it to FH we could save it for our Future DD.

What does the ring look like? Are there stones in it? Could you have it remade into a gift for your FH, or have it remade into his wedding band? Could you have it remade into a gift to give your mom, like a pendant or something?

Just brainstorming! I have no idea if there is a tradition to follow re: what to do with the ring on your wedding day...

@kris s., it had a tall band setting, with hearts cut out of the white gold on the sides (3 hearts on each side, left and right) and one diamond in the center (maybe 1/10 carat?) with 5 small stones on each side of that.

I like that idea of giving it to my mom remade into a pendant.. It honestly looks pretty on a chain.

I don't think he would want it as his band. He is pretty opposed to man-rings with diamonds in them. Haha.

Wow something i had for so long...i would not want to get rid of it. I personally would just keep wearing it. But i grow very fond of rings.

What about having your dad take it off your finger after walking down the aisle... symbolizes him giving you away.

That's an honorable thing! I applaud you! I guess you could do either.

Scenario 1: You give it to your parents because they gave it to you. It let's them know you are a woman now and able to give your heart to the man you love. However, it kind of let's them know that you are about to "get your freak on" so the pureness stops here pops! lol *jokes*

Scenario 2: You give it to your FH. It symbolically lets him know you are not only marrying him but giving him a precious gift that you've been saving and that he is going to get what no other man will. However, it might also say..."Take me you handsome stead! I'm ready to ride this train!" lolol *jokes*

I think I'd give it to my FH. I wouldn't want any of those thoughts in my parent's mind whenever they look at the ring.

Honestly, I'd give it to FH. I'm with Yardiegirl and wouldn't want my parents to have another reminder that I'm not "pure" anymore.

I love the the thought of giving it to your husband on the wedding night, and saving it for a daughter some day.

I would give it to FH since you have saved yourself for him so I think it would mean more to give it to him instead of your parents...I dont think i would give it to him during the ceremony but maybe after or later that night

I personally would put it in a box and save it for my daughter someday. :-)

I would save it for your daughter if you ever have one since I would consider it an heirloom

I stopped wearing mine after FH gave me a promise ring. But I've kept it. It's actually broken, but I'd like to get it fixed and give it to my daughter in the future.

I would take it off on your wedding night and give it to your husband, when yo get back from your honeymoon, put it someplae special if you ever have a daughter or another family member that you want to pass it on to.

Why don't you just keep it and frame it in a shadow box? I think that would be pretty. Then, if you have a daughter, give it to her.

I really like the idea of giving it to FH. It's special because you've saved yourself for him. And then you can give it to your daughter someday.

I switched mine to my right hand and still wear it...purity doesn't stop with marriage, abstinence stops with marriage. Plus I saw no reason, symbolic or otherwise, that I could not continue to wear a gorgeous diamond and sapphire ring from my parents.

My husband placed a purity ring on my daughter when she was 12. At a private ceremony in our home. The plan has always been for him to remove it during her wedding and for him to present it to her FH. Nothing grand or huge but a quiet part of the ceremony when he gives her away. Maybe the minister will say a few words. She is 22 now and just started dating since graduating college.
