Cultural Note
In Portuguese-speaking countries, wedding rings (alianças) are worn on the right hand ring finger, unlike in English-speaking countries where they go on the left. During the engagement (noivado), the ring is worn on the right hand and then moved to the left for some traditions, though right-hand wearing predominates. Gold is the traditional metal for alianças.
