What finger is the appropriate for engagement ring to be inserted? Is it the middle or fourth?
Am asking because in some recent pictures I see here on nairaland, some arethe third finger while some other pictures I see on the forth finger.
So which is correct ?

From the little I know, the MIDDLE finger signifies engagement while the RING finger(fourth) signifies Marriage

I have been asking same question.

Let's wait for the gurus to come onboard and do justice 2 the topic....

The third or middle finger is for engagement.

That's how I understand it to be... Probably, there is no longer a standard for it being that way....who knows?

Middle finger, left hand

But some still put it on the fourth finger

It depends sha

Engagement ring is customarily worn on the 4th finger of the left hand as at the time being engaged and Once you’re married, tradition dictates that your engagement band be moved back to the 3rd finger on your left hand. When you do so, your wedding ring should remain closest to your heart (where your spouse placed it on your wedding day) and your engagement ring is placed next to the wedding ring. Although custom vary across the world and some women infuse their own style on the custom.

Regardless of how you choose to wear your ring, the most important thing is that both your wedding ring and engagement ring is comfortable for you and sized properly.
