iron ring

Worn by Canadian engineers as a symbol of their commitment to safety and their obligation to society. It is a symbol of humility, and inspires confidence in the general public.

Civilian: "What is that interesting ring on your pinky?"

Engineer: "This ring represents my commitment to the public as a Professional Canadian Engineer."

ironic promise ring

This is the ordinary "promise" ring: worn by an unmarried teen girl to signify that she will abstain from sex until married. In this case, the ironic promise ring is worn by a girl either as a cover-up for sexual activities, or in the pure ironic sense. In either case, she's doing it!

Sharon and Bill were fucking like bunnies; but she masked that fact by wearing her ironic promise ring.
