Ready to pop the question? Congratulations! Now, it’s time to think about a ring and your partner’s ring size. Finding out their ring size without them knowing can be tricky, but do not worry! That’s the exact problem we’re here to solve. Here are 6 ways to find your partner’s ring size without them suspecting a thing.
Borrow a Ring
This is the easiest and most straightforward way to find your partner’s ring size. Make sure that you borrow a ring that your partner wears on their left ring finger because different fingers will be different sizes. Once you have the ring, if you’re lucky, the ring will have a size engraved into it. If not, there are at least 4 different ways in which you can determine the size of the ring.
- Trace the inner circumference of the ring onto a sheet of paper.
- Put the ring on your finger and draw a line where the ring sits, this isn’t the most foolproof method though.
- If you have a little longer or have time to prepare better, get a little air-drying clay and make an imprint of the ring.
- The best thing to do however, if you can, is to take the ring to the jeweler you are purchasing or designing the ring with and have them get the size exactly right.
Measure the Finger
If your partner is a heavy sleeper, this is your easiest option as well as being quite foolproof. Take a string, measure their left ring finger, and mark it with a pen. Conversely, you could also buy a ring sizer to do the same job, except this will be much more accurate because you will be able to see the size right away rather than it being a bit of a guessing game.
Go Jewelry Shopping
This is another clever idea that can play out in multiple ways. On a casual day at the mall or out shopping, you can drop by a jewelry store, browse around the shop, nonchalantly make your way to the ring section and have them try on a few rings on a few different fingers, which will keep the suspicion away while you get to know their ring size.
You can also take your partner to a jewelry store under the pretense of looking for jewelry for a family member. While browsing the store, lead them to the ring section and then carry on, as mentioned earlier.
Pro Tip: If you know which jewelry shop you’ll end up at, go to the store earlier and let them know what you’re planning, and they will make sure to discreetly find out your partner’s ring size while you’re at the store!
Enlist Their Best Friend
Whether you need help with the size of the ring or not, discuss your plans with their best friend. They are always a treasure trove of knowledge. The best friend may already know your partner’s ring size, and if not, they will get it out of your partner more subtly than you can. The best friend can take your partner to a jewelry store under the guise of shopping for themselves. Not only will you get the ring size without raising any suspicion, but you may also get a few pointers on what styles and designs appeal to your partner.
You can also do the same thing with a family member, like a parent or a grandparent. They may even have family heirlooms that they can have your partner try on for a size fit.
You Could Just Ask
Ask your partner upfront for their ring size, but if you don’t want it to be obvious, you can steer a conversation in such a way that you garner the information from them without raising any suspicions at all. Use a smooth segue, and don’t push the topic too much if you don’t get a response. For instance, you can tell them a story, let's say, you were reading about how ring sizes change from season to season and ask if your partner has experienced this and lead the conversation towards their actual ring size.
Pro Tip: You may also learn more about their likes and dislikes which will help you with customizing their engagement ring.
Make it a Fun Activity
If your partner does not know their size or have any rings that are worn on their left ring finger, you can make this a fun little activity for the two of you. Bring it up in the middle of a conversation and measure multiple fingers; do this for both of you. Sell it as a comparison between the size of both your hands or some other light-hearted excuse and you will have their ring size ready for whenever you might need it.
Bonus Tips
- Rings can be resized depending on the design, so keep that in mind if you’re not sure of your partner’s ring size.
- If the ring is too big, you can get ring adjusters until you can get to a jeweler.
- The best time to measure is at the end of the day when everything including fingers are a little bit swollen.
Finally, while finding out your partner’s ring size may be a little tricky, with a little bit of ingenuity, stealth, and creativity, it is definitely possible to achieve it. Just remember that all this hard work will be worth it when the ring glides effortlessly onto their finger during your proposal, making that magical moment just a little more precious!
