If you’re wondering how to secretly find out your partner’s ring size, you’re not alone! We’ve put together a list of our top five tips and tricks to help you discreetly determine your partner’s correct ring size without spoiling the surprise.
Ask friends of your partner
A good start is to ask your partner’s friends. If the friends don’t know, maybe you can team up and the friends can ask your partner by pretext or otherwise find out the ring size.
Take one of your partner’s rings to the jeweler’s
This will put your detective skills to the test! Try to discreetly steal one of your partner’s rings and take it to a local jeweller to find out the ring size. Ideally, take a ring that your partner wears on the ring finger (or on the finger you are trying to size).
Order a ring measure
Ordering a ring measure can be a fun and playful way to determine your partner’s ring size at home. Perhaps you can pretend you are buying a ring for yourself or a family member.
Find out your partner’s ring size when they are asleep
If your partner is in a deep sleep, this is your chance to act! See if you can use one of their rings to determine the inside diameter of their band. Place the ring on a ruler to take the measurement and use this chart to determine the appropriate ring size. As long as you have the theme song from Mission-Impossible stuck in your head, you won’t get caught!
Just ask her about it
It’s that simple! The ring you choose, the timing of the proposal and the way you do it can still be a surprise. There’s no harm in asking directly for their size. That way, at least you know you will get it right.
The most accurate way to determine your ring size is to visit a local jeweler and have this checked for you or your partner in person. You can use one of the above methods to hopefully get a good approximation, but it is possible that it will be slightly off.
