6 Methods to Measure Your Ring Size Without Your Partner Knowing
You must be very careful when acquiring the information you need to surprise your girlfriend with a proposal. You can, for example, pretend that you are buying a ring to surprise your girlfriend. Ensure the pretend recipient has a finger approximately the same size as your partner’s left ring finger. For reference, casually ask your partner what the ring size of their partner is. You can also purchase a cheap ring for your partner to try and see if it fits. You can then give the decoy ring to your sister, grandma, or mom to ease your guilt!
Ask Friends
Asking a friend is a great way to find out your partner’s ring size. The friend can ask if they don’t know the answer immediately. Ask your friend to go with you on your engagement ring shopping trip. This will allow your partner to get professionally sized and may even hint at the styles they prefer.
Borrow A Ring
You could also borrow a partner’s ring for a day. This tactic could backfire, so be cautious. You should ensure that you have a call they don’t notice is missing and that it’s the same size as your partner’s left ring finger.
Leave A Trace
This is an excellent alternative if you’re afraid of losing your partner’s ring. Place one of your partner’s rings on a piece of paper. Draw a circle around the outside and inside of the ring. This can be repeated several times to ensure that your ring trace looks consistent. It will also help you determine the correct ring size. An expert at Brilliant Earth Jewelry can usually determine the inner diameter of your sketch. For even more accuracy, you can use our ring size conversion chart!
Enlist An Engaged Friend
Ask your partner to try on the ring when you are with someone engaged. This will give you a rough idea of the size range you can start with. This is an excellent opportunity to ask your partner their opinion on the friend’s engagement rings (in private). You can use it as an opportunity to find out what type of ring your partner prefers.
Compare Fingers
Although this method is less accurate than the others, it can be used if necessary. Holding your partner’s hand, check if the ring finger on their left is as big as yours. You might find that their left ring finger is as giant as your pinky. This strategy is less exact, but professional jewelers will have more information about your partner’s ring sizes.
