Why The Ring On The Fourth Finger

Wearing a ring on the fourth finger or on the ring finger is because, in ancient times, people used to believe the nerves on the ring finger on the left are closely related to the heart. And the heart is the main axis of human emotions, which is why in ancient Roman times they called the ring finger ‘Vein of Love’.
