One of the most important parts of a marriage proposal is the engagement ring. It is extra special if you get a ring that fits when she puts it on. Getting a ring that’s too small is disappointing because she can’t wear it right away to show off to everybody. Getting a ring that’s too big is risky because it could slip off her finger very easily. When trying to figure out her ring size you should always remember that the ring goes on the third finger of her left hand. Most people don’t have the same size fingers on both hands; the fingers on your dominant hand can be a half size bigger than on your other hand. Since getting an engagement ring that is the correct size is such a vital part of the proposal here are some clever ways to get her ring size:
1. Ask her best friend, mother, sister, or any family member that might know. Before asking them make sure they won’t ruin the surprise and tell her beforehand.
2. If you ask the best friend or family member and they don’t know, enlist their help in finding out.
3. While she’s away measure one of her rings. You can do this by tracing it on a piece of paper, pressing an indentation into a bar of soap, or measuring it around a candle or your own finger and marking how far the ring can go. *Make sure the ring you measure is one you’ve seen her wear on her ring finger.
4. Tell her you’re buying your mom a ring and you need to borrow one of her rings as a measurement, since your mom’s fingers are the same size.
5. Borrow one of her rings and take it to a jeweler. Make sure to take a ring she won’t miss or notice is gone.
6. Bring it up in conversation, mention an article you read online about ring sizes, if you work your ring size into the conversation she might reciprocate and tell you hers.
7. If she’s a heavy sleeper get a piece of string and wrap it around her finger. Make sure you do it on her left hand because ring sizes vary between hands.
8. Take her ring shopping. It doesn’t necessarily have to be for her, you can say it’s for your grandmother, have her try on a few rings so you can “see how they look” and you’ll know which sizes fit her hand.
9. Play a game where you get to know each other better, one of the questions could be about ring size.
10. Buy her a ring as a Christmas or birthday present that isn’t an engagement ring. This way you already know what size fits her when you’re ready to propose.
If you absolutely cannot get her correct ring size, don’t make any alterations to the ring you buy quite yet. Most jewelers will size the ring once at no charge, getting the ring sized twice could cost a lot more.
