If you’re planning a surprise proposal, “sneaky” is the key word. Whether simple or grand, a proposal is a new, exciting moment! However, popping the question with a ring that doesn’t fit can put a damper on the mood. Finding out your loved one’s ring size without spoiling the surprise can be tricky, but there are ways to figure it out.
Ask a Friend, Parent, or Sibling – Friends and family occasionally already know the size your future fiancée’s ring finger. If they don’t already, they could directly ask, if it fits naturally into conversation.
Check Their Jewelry Box – If your significant other wears rings, sleuthing through their existing jewelry is a great place to start. You can either bring the existing ring straight to the jeweler or trace the inside and outside of the ring on a piece of paper. Attempt to choose a ring that is worn on the ring finger, if possible.
Measure in Secret – Is your significant other a heavy sleeper? If you are confident in your sneaking skills, you may be able to measure their finger while they sleep! Take a piece of string and gently wrap it around their ring finger and cut or mark the string at the circumference of their finger.
Ask Your Partner – Sure, asking your partner their ring size may give them a reason to suspect your intentions, but they still don’t know when, where, or how you will propose! The element of surprise is still in your favor, and you will be confident that the size you purchase will fit your loved one perfectly.
