by Surprising your partner with an engagement or wedding ring is a romantic and memorable gesture. To ensure the moment is perfect, the ring needs to fit perfectly. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you discreetly find out your partner’s finger size for wedding rings and wedding bands.
Step 1: Borrow a Ring They Already Wear
One of the easiest ways to find your partner’s ring size is to use a ring they already wear on the intended finger.
- Choose a Ring They Wear Often: Look for a ring that they wear on the ring finger of their left hand.
- Trace or Measure the Ring: When your partner isn’t around, trace the inner circumference of the ring on a piece of paper or press the ring into a bar of soap to get an impression. Alternatively, slide the ring onto your own finger and mark where it fits.
- Visit a Jeweler: Take the paper, soap impression, or your finger to a jeweler to determine the size. This method works well for engagement rings and wedding bands.
Step 2: Ask Friends or Family for Help
Enlist the help of close friends or family members who might know your partner’s ring size or who can subtly find out for you.
- Casual Conversation: Have a friend or family member casually discuss jewelry and ask about ring sizes.
- Subtle Inquiries: They can also suggest a fun day of trying on wedding rings “just for fun” and note the size.
Step 3: Measure While They Sleep
If your partner is a heavy sleeper, you can measure their ring size while they sleep.
- String or Paper Strip: Gently wrap a piece of string or a strip of paper around their ring finger. Be sure it’s snug but not too tight.
- Mark and Measure: Mark where the ends meet and measure the length with a ruler. Use an online ring size chart to determine the size. This method is ideal for both engagement rings and wedding bands.
Step 4: Get Creative with a Dummy Ring
Plan an activity that involves wearing a ring, such as a fun “dummy” engagement.
- Gift a Costume Ring: Present your partner with a playful, inexpensive ring and take note of the size. Later, use this size for the actual engagement or wedding ring.
- Playful Engagement: Propose a mock engagement with a fun, adjustable ring and note how it fits. This can be a great way to find the right size for wedding rings.
Tips for Accurate Finger Size Measurement:
- Multiple Measurements: If possible, measure multiple times to ensure accuracy.
- Comfort Fit: The ring should fit snugly but comfortably over the knuckle.
- Consider the Band Width: Wider bands may require a slightly larger size.
