Ways to find out your partner's ring size
We’ve curated a list of ingenious techniques to find out their ring size without spoiling the surprise. From measuring in secret to enlisting the help of their friends or family, there are plenty of ways to get it right. Make this proposal one they’ll cherish forever.
Sneak a look at your partner's jewellery box
Discovering your partner’s ring size can be as simple as peering into their jewellery box. Set aside some time to explore their jewellery collection as discreetly as possible. Pay specific attention to the rings they frequently wear on their ring finger. Take note of the ring size by measuring the inside along the shank and diameter to guide your selection.
Take one of their rings for the day
Consider borrowing one of their rings for the day. Choose a piece from their collection when they’re not around, ensuring it’s for the correct finger. Be careful not to raise any suspicions, and remember to return the borrowed ring once you’re done. This rather stealthy tip will provide invaluable insights into selecting the perfect fit without them being even remotely aware of your special plans.
Create a quick engagement ring sketch
Keep a pencil and paper at hand when you set out to explore your partner’s jewellery box. Once you have narrowed in on a ring they frequently wear, trace one circle on the inside of the shank and another on the outside. Do it a few times if time allows (and try with other rings) to double-check that your measurements are correct. This simple trick will give the jeweller a precise size estimation.
Use a piece of string
Have you ever considered using a piece of string? This is an effective way to determine your partner’s ring size. Wait until they’re asleep, then gently wrap the string around their ring finger, taking care not to disturb them. Once you’ve secured the measurement, mark the point where the string overlaps and carefully remove it. A risky but great method to find out the ring size while keeping your proposal a secret.
Ask their friends to help
Asking your partner’s close friends who can keep a secret is a great way to gain insider knowledge. They may have shared their preferences on rings or even accompanied your partner in jewellery shopping. Get them to casually try on some inexpensive rings to get a rough idea of the ring size. Combining this approach with a measuring method means you’ll have a better chance of getting the ring size right in one go. You can always visit our stores to talk to our Jewellery Experts about finding the right size and browse our samples to pick one you like.
Compare with your own jewellery or fingers
To estimate your partner’s ring size discreetly, consider comparing the size of one of their rings with your own. Select a ring from their jewellery collection that they frequently wear on their ring finger, and find a similar-sized one from your own. Place your ring on your finger and note which of your fingers it fits most comfortably on. This will serve as a reference point for estimating their ring size. Just remember, being discreet is key.
Shop together for a family gift
Have you ever thought about turning a family gift-shopping outing into the perfect opportunity to determine your partner’s ring size? It could be a fun day out together, exploring jewellery stores as part of the experience. Perhaps you could try on rings together, making the process feel casual and enjoyable. As they try different styles, subtly take note of the size that fits their ring finger well. With their ring size notes, you’ll be one step closer to selecting the ideal engagement ring.
Choose a temporary engagement ring or proposal ring
Selecting the perfect ring for your proposal will feel like an incredibly daunting task, if the pressure gets too high consider choosing together! Sometimes, couples opt for a temporary engagement ring for the proposal, to select the permanent ring together. Here’s why you should consider giving a temporary engagement ring:
- Surprise element: Opting for a temporary ring allows you to maintain the element of surprise during your proposal. Without the pressure of finding the perfect permanent ring beforehand, you can focus on the special moment of asking your partner to marry you.
- Symbolic gesture: The temporary ring serves as a symbol of your commitment and love during the proposal.
- Flexibility: By choosing a temporary ring, you give yourselves the flexibility to explore different styles, designs, and preferences together. The ring that you will eventually select, will reflect both of your tastes and personality.
- Practicality: Sometimes, budget or time constraints may make it difficult to find the perfect permanent ring before the proposal. Opting for a temporary ring allows you to focus on the moment without added stress.
When selecting a temporary engagement ring, consider choosing a design that your partner will appreciate and cherish, even if it's not their ultimate dream ring. It's the sentiment behind the gesture that truly matters. Browse through our stunning selection of engagement rings that can be fully customised to capture your unique relationship.
Conclusion
Finding the perfect fit for their engagement ring might not be as difficult as you think. By keeping in mind these fun, easy and practical tips, you can determine your partner's ring size accurately and sweep them off their feet with the dreamiest surprise proposal.
