If you plan to surprise her with the proposal, you want to make sure that the ring is the right size. A ring that won’t slip onto her finger can really put a damper on the moment!
Since she’s going to wear the ring on the ring finger of her left hand, you’ll need to do your best to figure out what size that finger is. Remember that ring sizes vary for each finger, so only a direct measurement will be exact. But if you get it close, you can always have the ring sized up or down slightly to fit perfectly.
Here are a few tips for getting her ring size without her knowing what you’re up to.
Borrow One of Her Rings
Without her knowing, borrow a ring from her jewelry box and bring it to your local Kwiat retail partner who can determine its size. Be careful to choose one that is round. Older rings might be bent out of shape which can cause a mismeasurement
Ask Her Best Friend
Believe it or not, women do talk about their ring size with each other. Just be sure to chose a friend who can keep the secret!
Take Her Shopping
It’s not uncommon for couples to go shopping together to look at engagement rings at some point before the big moment. This is a great time to have the jeweler measure her finger size so that you can keep it in mind for future knowledge.
Put Her Ring on Your Hand
If borrowing one of her rings is too risky, place her ring on your finger as far down as it will comfortably go (don’t force it too far). Mark your finger with a pen and show it your local jeweler who can measure it for you.
Trace the Inside of Her Ring
Trace the inside of one of her rings and bring it to your local jeweler who can determine her size.
Make An Impression of Her Ring
Use a bar of soap or a piece of clay to make an impression of one of her rings and bring it to your local jeweler.
Ask Her
If you’re really sly, maybe you can subtly work it into a conversation and get her to tell you her ring size. But be careful, this one is risky!
