My 14 year old daughter recently mentioned that she wanted a "Purity Ring" to declare her beliefs in remaining pure until marriage. My wife and I were really taken aback with our teenager's willingness to openly display her intention of abstinence. Of course we were (and still are) very proud of her, and decided that this was a great idea. After a great deal of searching local jewelry stores and several sites on the Internet, we decided on this "True Love Waits" ring.
The ring arrived roughly one week after we ordered it. The picture shown on the product page just doesn't do justice to the look of the actual ring itself. It has a brilliant shine and the words are very precise and easy to read. The ring is simply gorgeous! Although the ring comes in a very simple gold colored cardboard box, the box is enclosed in a very nice looking padded metallic blue pouch. Our daughter really loves the ring, and she wears it every day. She removes it only to clean it, from time to time, and is showing very little sign of wear. Of course the shinny surface will begin to show little scratches over time, but the black letters have not faded a bit and the ring still looks very nice.
Overall I feel that this is an awesome gift for any parent to give to their pre-teen or teenage child. Although the ring cannot guarantee that a child will remain pure, it is a constant symbol to your child that TRUE love can wait until marriage. The cost of this product is low, but the value of the symbolic message is priceless. It gets 5 stars in my book, and I highly recommend it to parents everywhere!
