Suave is correct... in today's day and age, a promise ring is what you make it. I purchased an "I Love You" ring from a local jeweler that was fairly inexpensive and rather than being too flashy it just had several diamond chips in it.
In lieu of us being able to get married at the time, I gave it to my then girlfriend, now wife, and proposed to her about 1 year later... and were married about two years after that.
Of course, I did opt for the traditional "big rock" wedding ring, but only because my wife seemed to lean towards that traditional style.. Of course, the rock is only about as big as you can afford at the time... I got her princess cut diamond solitaire ring of about .57 carats.
