4 Foolproof Ways to Find Her Ring Size without Her Knowing

If you are planning to give a surprise proposal to your partner, you probably have already begun shopping for the engagement ring of her dreams. However, as you are hunting for the perfect ring, the trickiest question that will arise is – how to determine her ring size, without asking her. It’s relatively easier to learn about her taste in fine jewelry but figuring out her ring size could be a challenge. Here are some useful tips that can make your work easy, if executed well.

Sneak into her jewelry box

Well, this route may not be the easiest, but definitely one of the best ways to get the approximate size. If you get your hands on one of her rings, it will be easy for you to figure out her size. Not to forget, each of her fingers will have a different size. The size of her ring finger will be a half size lower than her middle finger. However, you are in for luck if you get a ring she wears on her ring finger.

Push the ring over a bar of soap or wax to make an imprint. You can use the imprint to take the measurement. Even better if you can trace out the inner circumference of the ring with the help of a pencil. This way you will be able to avoid the mess from using soap or candle wax.

Team up with her girlfriends or sister

Take the help of her already married or engaged girlfriends or sisters to chalk out a foolproof plan. Make sure they can keep the secret till the end. They can talk about their own proposal experience or wedding plans and get your partner to reveal her ring size inadvertently. They could also ask her to try one of their rings to see how it looks on her, compare the sizes and report back to you.

Buy her a dummy ring

If you think you have guessed her ring size already, but want to be extra sure, buy a dummy ring for her. Tell her you found it on the sidewalk or won it at a lucky draw. Or, take her randomly to an art festival or an accessory store and gift her costume jewelry. Ask her to try out rings along with other accessories. Be very observant of the ring that fits the best on her ring finger.

Put a thread on it

You know when she is in deep sleep and that’s the best opportunity to take her ring size, with the help of a thread. Try looping it around her finger, not too loose and not too tight. Mark the end points with a pen and compare it with our ring sizer.

Some key points to remember:

• Though women’s ring sizes in the US range from size 4 to 9, the most common is the size 6 and 6.5.
• Usually, the dominant hand is slightly bigger, so if your partner is right-handed, the ring finger on her left hand will be smaller than the one on her right.
• Rings with wider shanks give a tighter fit than the ones with thin shanks. While sneaking one of her rings, consider the design as well.
• Choose a design that is resizable, rings with pave diamond accents on shoulders are difficult to resize.
• Consider buying a size larger, if you are not sure. It’s easier to size down than up.
