If you re planning on surprising your loved one with a ring, your first task is to take the correct size with you to the jewelers. While the gesture alone is romantic, you don’t want to give her a ring only to find out that it doesn’t fit. To keep your surprise and guarantee the perfect fit, here are some tips to getting her ring size without arousing suspicion. 

How To Get Her Ring Size

1. Borrow a Ring

If she has a collection of rings, borrow one that she won’t miss for a day or two and take it to get sized. Make sure you know that it fits her by choosing one she has worn recently rather than a sentimental keepsake belonging to a relative. If you can’t take the ring with you to the jewelers, then place it on a piece of paper and trace out the circle so you can compare the outline to a ring sizer.

2. Ask Her Friends

Even a close friend might not know the exact ring size from memory, but they could probably lead you in the right direction. If they’ve shared rings in the past, you can measure the size of the friend’s finger or take their ring to the jewelers.

Your loved one’s friend could also get away with nonchalantly asking about her ring size. While they’re casually talking about it, her friend can also ask what style ring your loved one would prefer to ensure that you make the right choice.   

3. Use a String

While your loved one is sleeping, wrap a string around her finger to measure her ring size. This tip might only work if your loved one is a heavy sleeper. With some finesse, you should be able to gauge the width of her finger enough to get the correct size.
