Below, you’ll find some very easy solutions
to getting her ring size while keeping your gift a
surprise. Keep in mind that a woman’s ring size
will vary for each finger, so the below suggestions
are meant only as a directional tool for you.
Make an Impression
If she’s in the habit of leaving any of her
rings lying about, make an impression of one. A bar
of soap, a piece of clay or even a piece of bread
can be used to take a reliable measurement.
Put it in Writing
You could even trace the inside of the ring on a piece
of paper which the jeweler can then use to determine
an accurate measurement.
Try it on for Size
Simpler still, just put one of her rings on your own
fingers. Push it down as far as it will go and then
mark the spot with a pen. Then just show the marking
to your jeweler who can measure it for you.
What are Friends For
A friend of the soon-to-be bride’s can be of
great assistance in this particular endeavor. It’s
not uncommon for one friend to ask another for their
ring size as a matter of curiosity. Just be sure you
choose a friend who can keep a secret.
The Real Thing
If you can bring one of her rings to the jeweler without
arousing any suspicion, this will probably be the
safest course of action. Offer to take her jewelry
to be cleaned and have the jeweler measure her ring
at the same time.
