Proposal: 7 ways to find out your ring size and not ruin the surprise
Are you planning to propose to your loved one?
You’ve already found the perfect location, ordered a stunning flower decoration, even prepared a scenario with music… But there’s still one thrilling question left:
How to find out her ring size while keeping it a surprise?
The ROMANTIC.UA team shares proven tips! )
Here are the TOP-7 proven ways to secretly find out her ring size:
1. Borrow one of her rings
If she already has jewelry she wears on the ring finger of her right hand — that’s the perfect option.
Simply:
- Secretly take the ring (for a few hours)
- Bring it to a jeweler — they’ll tell you the exact size.
⚠️ Tip: make sure the ring is really from that finger! Most girls wear rings on the middle or index finger — those are different sizes.
2. Measure the ring while she’s asleep or in the shower
If you manage to carefully take it off for a few minutes, simply:
- Place it on a sheet of paper,
- Trace the inner circle with a pencil,
- Bring this sketch to a jewelry store — they’ll figure out the size.
3. Conspire with her friend, mom, or sister
This can be the most reliable method if:
- The person actually knows her size,
- And, most importantly, can keep a secret.
Ask someone close to her to subtly find out the size by arranging a “random” jewelry shopping trip.
This often works great when planning a surprise proposal.
4. Jewelry “rehearsal”
Take her to a jewelry boutique — “just to look”. Let her try on some rings — and remember the right size.
5. Use a thread or ribbon
If she’s a deep sleeper, you can carefully:
- Wrap a thread or thin paper strip around her ring finger,
- Mark the meeting point,
- Measure the length and compare it with a size chart.
⚠️ Note: works only if she sleeps really soundly!
6. Compare fingers
If no other options are available — carefully compare her ring finger with your pinky.
Not perfect, but a jeweler can roughly estimate the size.
7. Give a “surprise ring” with exchange option
Some brands offer proposal rings — beautiful but without an exact size. After the proposal, you’ll go together to choose the “real one”.
What if you got the size wrong?
Don’t worry! Most jewelers can easily resize the ring.
But it’s better to err on the larger side — a smaller ring is harder to put on.
⚠️ And most importantly:
A proposal is not about jewelry. It’s about Love.
The perfect ring is just one element of the moment. At ROMANTIC.UA, we know how to turn a marriage proposal into a movie where you are the main characters.
