4 Creative Ways To Secretly Get Her Ring Size For The Proposal
If you are finally ready to pop the question, congratulations! However, when preparing to propose, there might be many things to plan for, such as where you want to pop the question, how you plan on surprising her and choosing the unique engagement ring that will compel her to accept your proposal.
However, before deciding on the romantic engravings you want for your custom engagement ring in Singapore, the most important thing is to make sure that the ring fits perfectly. It would be embarrassing if the girl said "yes", only for the personalized ring to be too tiny to fit onto her finger.
Hence, the first thing you may want to consider is determining your significant other's ring size. Don't let this stop you from keeping the proposal a secret though - there are a few ways you can get the correct size discreetly.
Here are 4 of them:
1. Discreetly borrow one of her rings and take it straight to the jeweler
This is probably one of the oldest tricks in the book, but acquiring a ring that she already wears is one of the most effective ways! On top of taking her ring discreetly, it's also essential to know which finger and hand she usually wears her ring on. This is because the fingers on her dominant hand may be slightly larger on average. Moreover, each finger may have a different ring size.
To ensure that you get the ideal size, you may need to do some detective work to find out if that ring is a good fit on her finger or if it's too tight or loose for theherm. It will be helpful if you give this information to your jeweler because they can usually help you estimate her size.
If you are only able to borrow your partner's ring for a quick moment, you can trace the inside of her ring on a piece of paper and take that sketch to the store. A competent jeweler will then be able to figure out the diameter of the ring and extrapolate her ring size for you.
2. Fake a shopping trip
You may need an excuse like your sister or mother’s birthday to get her into a jewelry store. Ask for your partner’s help to pick out a gift for them, and make sure to steer her to the rings section. During this time, you can subtly ask the store staff to check her ring size as a reference to “buy that gift”.
However, if you are not much of a shopper, your partner may suspect your sudden interest in jewelry shopping. In this case, you may want to go for an alternative - enlisting the help of your partner’s friend, sister or mother to take her shopping instead.
3. Enlist help from friends
Aside from the point mentioned above regarding “fake” jewelry shopping, other ways friends may help include bringing up the topic of rings at brunch. Then, if they can suggest swapping and trying each other's rings on, they will be able to estimate how tight or loose their rings are on your partner.
During the conversations, your partner may mention the kind of ring she wants, so get her friends to pay close attention.
Alternatively, if you feel comfortable to do so, you can get them to ask your partner for her ring size in a direct way. After all, as her friends, they all want to make sure she gets their dream ring.
4. Measure her ring size while she’s asleep
If your partner is a particularly deep sleeper or you are feeling sneaky, it could be an excellent opportunity for you to take her measurement while she is asleep.
To do so, you first need to purchase a ring sizer online (there are many affordable ones) and try to find the right size to slip on and off her finger while she is asleep.
Keep in mind that the ideal size should sit comfortably at the base of her ring finger, but require some twisting to come off (instead of it slipping off too easily).
Once you note that measurement, a bespoke jeweler will be able to craft your ring in the right size.
