The Ultimate Guide to Finding Your Partner's Ring Size

So, you've found the one you want to spend forever with, and now you're ready to take the plunge and pop the question. But there's one little detail you need to nail down before you can get down on one knee: the ring size.

 

Finding out your partner's ring size might seem like a daunting task, but fear not! With a bit of creativity, stealth, and maybe a touch of sleuthing, you can uncover this crucial piece of information without spoiling the surprise. Here are some foolproof methods to help you on your quest:

 

1. Borrow a Ring

If your partner already wears rings, subtly borrow one that fits them well (from their jewellery box, perhaps). Just make sure it's a ring they wear on the ring finger. You can trace the inside diameter of the ring on a piece of paper or use a ring-sizing chart to determine the size. This may not be 100% accurate but atleast we will get an approximate size.

 

2. Recruit a Friend; Enlist the help of a close friend or family member who can discreetly bring up the topic of ring sizes in conversation. They might suggest going shopping for rings together or casually inquire about their preferences.

 

3. The String Trick;

While your partner is sleeping, gently wrap a piece of string or paper around their ring finger and mark where it overlaps. Measure the length of the string or paper and use a ring-sizing chart to determine the size. Please make sure they’re a heavy sleeper and do not leave the piece of string lying around …

 

5. Guesswork;

If all else fails, you can always make a guess based on your observations of your partner's hands and fingers. I can also have a look at a picture of your partner (if you manage to have a picture of their hands this would be even better) as I can make an educated guess! Keep in mind that it's better to err on the slightly larger side, as it’s better that she can put it on after you proposed and have it made smaller at a later date.

 

Remember, the most important thing is the sentiment behind the ring, so don't stress too much about getting the size exactly right. With a little effort and creativity, you'll be well on your way to finding the perfect ring for your beloved. Happy proposing!
