Finding out engagement ring size: How to do it without stress

Choosing the perfect engagement ring is exciting, but one of the biggest challenges can be determining the right ring size. Of course, you want to make sure the ring fits perfectly when you propose - but how do you secretly find out the right size without spoiling the surprise? In this post, we'll give you helpful tips and tricks on how to discreetly and accurately find out your partner's ring size.

1. The secret methods: How to find out the ring size without asking

If you want to determine the ring size without direct clues or suspicion, there are several creative approaches:

1.1 Using an existing ring

• The easiest way : If your partner already has a ring that fits on the ring finger of the other hand, you can secretly have that ring measured. Make sure that the ring actually comes from the finger you want to buy the engagement ring for, as the fingers of one hand can be different sizes.
• Get it measured: Take the ring to a jeweler who can determine the exact size, or place it on a ruler to measure the inner diameter.

1.2 Determine ring size with a trick

• Paper method: If you only have the ring in your hands for a short time, you can lay it on a piece of paper and trace the inner circumference. Alternatively, you can slide the ring onto your own finger and mark the spot where it stays. The jeweler can use this mark to determine the size.
• Make an impression: Gently press the ring into a bar of soap or clay to leave an impression. The jeweler can also use this to determine the size.

1.3 Involve friends and family

• Ask people you trust: Discreetly ask friends or family members if they know your ring size. Sometimes parents or close friends already have this information, which can save you a lot of work. (The only questions that really matter are those that don't say anything)
• Arrange a shopping trip: Have a friend organize a seemingly random shopping trip to try on rings. This way you can discreetly find out the size.

2. Open communication: Determine ring size together

If you want to be sure that the engagement ring fits perfectly and the surprise is not the main priority, you can also determine the ring size together:

2.1 Shopping together

• Have fun browsing: A visit to the jeweler together can be an exciting experience. You can try out different styles and find out the ring size and also see what she or he likes.

2.2 Adjust after the application

• Flexible planning: If the ring doesn't fit perfectly right away, it's not the end of the world. Many jewelers offer free adjustments after purchase so that the ring can be precisely adjusted later.

3. What should I do if the ring size doesn't fit after the proposal?

If the ring does not fit perfectly after the proposal, there are usually simple solutions:

• Adjustment at the jeweler: Most jewelers offer free adjustment. The size can usually be adjusted without much effort.

• Exchange: Some jewelers offer the possibility of exchanging the ring for another model in the right size.

4. Conclusion: Find the right ring size without stress

Finding out your ring size doesn't have to be a nerve-racking undertaking. With a little creativity and the right tricks, you can discreetly determine your partner's size and make sure that the engagement ring fits perfectly when you propose. And even if it doesn't work out right away, there are always ways to adjust the ring later. The most important thing is that the ring - no matter what size - is a symbol of your love and commitment. :)
