Chastity Rings

Sure. Less so, though, for people who feel the need to put it on display.

Is a wedding ring for display? Or a symbol of a promise?

Those rings are not meant to say to the world "lookit me, I'm saving myself"- they are for the person to look at and remember a promise they made to themselves.

Funny how that works- it's ok to save yourself, it's ok to believe in something- but keep it to yourself.

I'm conservative- I encourage my kids to wait. But I don't make them live in the dark about the reality of the topic. If one of them chose to wear one of those rings I would be pleased to support them in their choice.

Mostly the former, in my opinion. Symbols of promises are silly.

ah-

I don't believe so. Not that one needs a ring to remember the promise- but the symbolism clearly means something to most people- or else the wedding ring tradition would be dying off.
