Huge difference between dropping 20K on a ring and 2K, mine was closer to the latter. As for dating rings, call it an engagement ring if you can't afford a gold one, but honestly engagement rings (gold bands) cost like R$ 1000 or less, if you can't afford that then you aren't ready for the commitment of marriage or just call your silver ring an engagement ring. My point is that it is stupid that the color or cost of the ring is a factor, any ring on your ring finger should be an engagement ring or wedding band, whether it be made of plastic or platinum. No reason to call it a dating ring, that is just for men that give into their girls desires for commitment and a ring, but aren't really ready yet. Rings should be for engagement and marriage only, but obviously people can disagree with me on that.

You may invest in the sex toy but more then likely she will be using the real thing on those lonely nights when apart LOL

The pragmatism also indicates fidelity; if she doesn’t ask for replacement batteries then you know she’s been unfaithful. Quod erat demonstrandum. Bitches be crazy.

Noivado (engagement) is rather outdated in the metropolitan areas as I see it. I understand that ppl become noivos as soon as they plan their marriage. But no anel de noivado or engagement ring is exchanged for most ppl!

The info on this site is too good to check!!

Most Brazilians rings end up flying. Ever heard of Brazilian temper?

The whole point of marriage is:

a) You don't want to be lonely and do not have such money like Charlie Sheen to keep paying for company.

b) Her sister's getting married, her friends already got married and she must keep up with the competition.

c) And when your wife runs away with your beloved kids, you can die and reborn again

Regarding the rings:

Yes silver or silver with golden stripes ring is alliança de namoro, but once you buy them, she will start calling you noivo or esposo (fiance or husband)

If she asked for one, you should get her one. I dont care about rings, I'm married and I don't veen have one, but for some girls it is really important. Like other members said here, you should get her a silver one, not golden one. Silver ones only mean that you are dating someone. Golden rings mean that you are engaged. And yes, dating rings are really commom in Brasil.
