You may have seen them here and there—tiny rings with a single stone or a plain
band on the pinkies of women.No, it doesn’t mean she’s a crime boss, as we see in pop culture,
Single women and happily attached women are finding them useful for making promises,
but not the type of promise a matewould make through the symbol of a ring.Instead, the pinky promise – the sacred,
binding commitment that one dare not break –is finding a new form of expression.
Long used by children to seal secrets and by adults to seal deals,
this time-old tradition has taken a fashionable turn.Women are wearing pinky rings to signify a pledge of self-love.
