 It is so refreshing to hear a sensible teenager on here for once, so well done you for having such good morals and values! Your reasons are wonderful, so if you feel you need a ring to remind you of this then fair enough.
But as Gabrielle said, it is just a trinket, a little bit of jewellery doesnt mean that much. The morals and values are in your head, not in a ring - so the ring is kind of irrelevant. But if you feel you want one, then by all means go for it. But you dont need one, you know what you want and the only way you are going to stick to it is by being determined, a piece of jewellery is not going to be much help if you ever get into a situation where you get tempted!
I hope this helps and good luck!

 Hon, you've stated very worthy values. Waiting until you're sure that the relationship you're in is worthy of the gift of your virginity is as it should be. If a ring reminds you of those values when you might be otherwise tempted, then by all means go for it.

 Your desire and intention to abstain from sex until you find the right person is laudable. Religious or otherwise, a purity ring is, at the end of the day, just a trinket. If you beleive you have the strength to hold firm with your convictions, having or not having a ring to remind of them is not very relevant.

 I don't know about purity rings, honestly. In my country, that doesn't really exist. I think, however, that you're making a good and mature decision. Sex is never something that should be rushed into and you seem to know exactly where you stand on that. Get the ring if you want to symbolise it to yourself, but in the end, you already know what you want and you don't need a ring to prove it to anyone.
