Finding Their Ring Size
So you've decided to surprise someone special with a ring — exciting! The only catch: you need their size, and you'd rather not spoil the surprise. Here are a few tried-and-true ways to find it on the sly.
Tip 1
Borrow a Ring They Already Wear
The most reliable trick is to "borrow" a ring they already wear on that finger. A few ways to make it count:
If you can hold onto it for a bit, bring it to us (or a local jeweler) and we'll size it exactly.
Short on time? Trace the inside and outside of the band on paper — a few times for accuracy — and we can size it from the drawing.
Pair text with an image to focus on your chosen product, collection, or blog post. Add details on availability, style, or even provide a review.
Press the ring into a bar of soap to leave a clean imprint a jeweler can read.
TIP 2
Play a Little Trick
Tell them you read that your ring size equals your shoe size divided by two, plus two. Have them "test" it out loud. The math doesn't actually work — but you'll likely get them to say their real size without tipping them off.
TIP 3
Enlist a Friend
Recruit a trusted friend to go "ring shopping for themselves" and bring your partner along. When the friend gets sized, they can casually ask, "What size are you?" Just be sure it's someone who can keep a secret! Bonus version: a recently engaged friend can have your partner try on their ring and ask their size.
TIP 4
Just Ask
These days it's common to talk about getting engaged before it happens. If the conversation comes up naturally, you can simply ask their size — and still keep the ring and the proposal a total surprise.
Want to Be Sure? Order a Ring Sizer
A simple adjustable ring sizer makes it easy to measure at home — whether you're sizing their ring or figuring out your own.
