Borrow One of Their Rings<\/h3>\n

One of the most reliable ways to find your partner’s ring size is to borrow a ring they already wear. This method requires careful observation and a bit of sneakiness, but it provides a physical object for us to measure. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First, pay attention to the rings your partner <\/span>actually <\/span>wears.<\/span> The<\/span> best candidate <\/span>is <\/span>one<\/span> they wear on their left ring finger. If <\/span>that\u2019s<\/span> not available<\/span>, the next best <\/span>option<\/span> is a ring they wear on the same finger on their right hand<\/span>. Keep in mind that f<\/span>ingers on the dominant hand are often slightly larger<\/span>. <\/span><\/span>Rings worn on the middle finger or thumb usually <\/span>won\u2019t<\/span> give <\/span>an accurate<\/span> size.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When <\/span>you\u2019re<\/span> ready to borrow a ring, <\/span>l<\/span>ook for moments when they naturally take it off,<\/span> such as <\/span>while <\/span>washing hands, showering or working out.<\/span><\/span> Make sure <\/span>it’s<\/span> a ring they <\/span>won’t<\/span> miss <\/span>right away<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0If <\/span>yo<\/span>u\u2019re<\/span> not <\/span>comfortable handling it yourself, ask a trusted friend or family member to help. A quick trip to our store is all you need: <\/span>we <\/span>can <\/span>measure the <\/span>ring\u2019s<\/span> inside diameter<\/span>,<\/span> and you can return it before <\/span>your partner<\/span> <\/span>even notices <\/span>its<\/span> gone.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you <\/span>can’t<\/span> <\/span>bring the<\/span>\u00a0ring <\/span>to us<\/span>, you can <\/span>simply <\/span>bring the <\/span>measurement<\/span> instead. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Trace the Inside of the Ring<\/span><\/h3>\n

When your partner takes their ring off, place it on a piece of paper. Use a sharp pencil to carefully trace the inside of the ring several times. <\/span>It’s<\/span> <\/span>important <\/span>to trace the inner circumference, as <\/span>th<\/span>is <\/span>determines<\/span> the <\/span>ring <\/span>size. <\/span>A tracing<\/span> <\/span>of the<\/span> outside will result in a ring <\/span>that<\/span>\u2019s<\/span> <\/span>too large. Take multiple tracings to ensure you have a clear and <\/span>accurate<\/span> outline.<\/span> Even a rough trace usually gets you within half a size. <\/span>You can then b<\/span>ring that tracing to us or measure the diameter with a ruler.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Gift a Ring for Another Occasion<\/span><\/h3>\n

Giving a ring for another special occasion is a smart way to check their size without raising suspicion. Whether <\/span>it\u2019s<\/span> a <\/span>birthday,<\/span> <\/span>anniversary<\/span> or<\/span> a spon<\/span>taneous gift, <\/span>they\u2019ll<\/span> <\/span>feel <\/span>a<\/span>ppreciated<\/span> and <\/span>you\u2019ll<\/span> gather the information you need for a future proposal.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ask for Help<\/span><\/h3>\n

The easiest way to find your partner\u2019s ring size may be to ask someone who already knows. Close friends, <\/span>siblings<\/span> or parents can often help or discreetly discover it for you. Just make sure <\/span>it\u2019s<\/span> someone <\/span>you can <\/span>trust<\/span> <\/span>so your secret<\/span> stays safe<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
