Question about giving a promise/commitment ring in Brazil
My Brazilian girlfriend has mentioned a ring that she would like me to give her, and I’d like to understand the Brazilian customs around this before I do anything.
For those familiar with Brazilian culture: how is this type of ring typically given? Is there a particular occasion, gesture, or meaning attached to it?
This seems quite different from the way we Finns typically approach rings and relationship milestones, so I’d like to understand the cultural differences rather than assume that the Finnish (🇫🇮) way applies in Brazil.
Also, what should a foreign partner know about choosing the ring — for example, which finger it is normally worn on, whether it is expected to be gold/silver, and whether there are any cultural meanings or expectations I should be aware of? Diamond ring or just normal ring?
I’d really appreciate advice from Brazilians or anyone familiar with Brazilian relationship customs. I want to get it right rather than accidentally giving it a meaning I didn’t intend. 🙂
