So girls don't have to make a "promise"? Or is their promise the fact that they're actually wearing the ring in the first place?

What a shock that the females in this society make a promise by accepting gifts.

quick google search:

"A promise ring or friendship ring is a small, inexpensive ring given to a boyfriend or girlfriend, to promise not to court a rival. These indicate merely that serious courting is under way. No permanent commitment has been made by either party, but they give the partners an excuse for refusing social invitations from others."
