Purity rings are symbolic pieces of jewelry worn by individuals, often teenagers, to signify their commitment to abstaining from sexual activity until marriage. These rings are typically worn on the ring finger and serve as a personal reminder of one's values and beliefs regarding relationships and sexuality. The concept of purity rings is often associated with Christian teachings, where they represent a promise made to oneself, parents, or God. Many individuals participate in ceremonies to receive their rings, reinforcing their commitment to maintaining chastity and promoting discussions about sexuality and relationships.
