chastity ring

Abstinence pledge jewelry

A chastity ring is a ring worn as a symbol of commitment to sexual abstinence, typically until marriage.

Popular among religious teenagers in the United States, especially in evangelical Christian communities, it serves as both a personal reminder and public declaration of the wearer's pledge: She received a chastity ring at her church's purity ceremony.

Also called a purity ring.
