Purity rings (also known as promise rings, abstinence rings, or chastity rings) are rings worn as a sign of chastity.[1] Since the 1990s, Christian organizations in the United States used the purity ring as a symbol of commitment. In particular, Catholic and evangelical Christian groups which promoted virginity pledges and virginity before marriage, such as True Love Waits and Silver Ring Thing.[1][2][3][4] Wearing a purity ring is typically accompanied by a religious vow to practice abstinence until marriage.[5] Chastity rings are part of the abstinence-only sex education movement and are intended to act as a physical reminder of the wearer's chastity vow.[4]
