A promise ring is usually the step before an engagement ring ... most young couples decide that a promise ring is the way to go to show each other that the intent for an engagement ring is there, but limited means are preventing the purchase.

A promise ring is given to a romantic partner to signify a promise to be committed in a monogamous relationship, maybe in which a young couple pledge their love for one another. The gift of the ring indicates that serious courting is under-way. It can be given as a symbol that a couple does not feel that it is an appropriate time to consider engagement or marriage but are serious about each other and their relationship.
A promise ring can be worn on any finger on the left or right hand, although ring fingers are far preferred. Most often it is the left ring finger, but due to engagement confusion, the right ring finger is finding acceptance in today's world.
High school class rings (rings purchased to represent one's high school and year of graduation) are coveted by young people of either sex. "Wearing his/her class ring" means that the couple is 'going steady' and that theirs was an exclusive relationship (if the young man wore a 'letter jacket' -- an overt symbol of athletic participation -- his girlfriend may be given that to show that she is 'taken').

A promise ring is a ring he gives you that is his promise that he will get you an engagement ring soon. And he promises to always be with you.

A promise ring can be thought of as a pre-engagement ring. It means you see yourselves having a future together, but you're not ready to get engaged, because you're not ready to get married, but you'd like that in the future.

It means "I promise to maybe one day think about proposing to you."
Great for high schoolers, it's not typically acceptable for adults.
