Although there’s no foolproof way to know your partner’s ring size for a surprise proposal, commitment ceremony, birthday, or anniversary. But, we have a few suggestions that might help make sure the surprise is special.

Tips to get ring size

Existing Ring

It all depends on which hand is his/her dominant hand. If you know that the band fits perfectly on the left finger. Then you could slip away for a few hours and get the band measured at your local jewelry store. If you can’t slip away with the ring. Make an impression of it on a bar of soap or clay, or trace the inside of the band on a piece of paper. This is one o the simples ways to get your partner’s ring size.

Ask A Friend Or Mother

If you’re not sure about your partner’s ring size. Then ask someone close to them who might know. Their mom, best friend, or anyone else who’s close to them might be able to help you out. You might also want to try asking your partner’s mom if she has a “secret heirloom” ring that your partner could try on. This could give you a good idea of what size would fit them best.

Fake Shopping Trip

If you want to get your partner in a jewelry store, you’ll need an excuse like a sister or mother’s birthday. You can ask your partner to help you choose a present and look at rings among other things. Your partner might get suspicious of your sudden interest in jewelry shopping. Thus you could enlist the help of your partner’s friend or mom to take him/her shopping instead. Your partner won’t get suspicious that you are trying to get her ring size.

Pay Attention

You may notice that your partner is dropping you hints about their jewelry preferences. Especially if they have a specific piece in mind as a present. They might want to try on a ring at the mall, or a friend might know of a ring design he/she was looking at. If you pay attention to these hints. Then, you can get a sense of the type of band your partner would like and be able to surprise them with the perfect diamond ring

String Sizer

You can even measure ring size while they are sleeping. Only thing you have to do is slip a string or ribbon around their finger as they sleep. This will give you an approximate measurement to bring to your local jewelry store.

Plastic Ring Sizer

It’s a good idea to order plastic ring sizers and leave them lying around the house. Tell your partner that you are thinking of buying a band for yourself and maybe he/she will play around with the sizer. Keep in mind that the width of the ring will determine the ring size. The wider the band, the snugger it will fit.
