My girlfriend and I are at colleges which are extremely far apart, and before we left for college, we exchanged "promise rings." I know for me at least, it serves as a constant reminder of her, and has a little extra meaning for me than if it were just a ring. Promise rings can be rediculous when they're exchanged between people who don't mean it or who just recently started dating, but they can also be very meaningful tokens of affection.
