How Can You Discreetly and Accurately Get Your Significant Other's Ring Size?
Planning to surprise your significant other with a beautiful new ring from Robinson's Jewelers? One of the trickiest parts of pulling off the perfect surprise is knowing their ring size without spoiling the big moment. Fortunately, there are several clever and subtle ways to get the size just right without giving away your plans.
Let's explore some of the most effective methods to discreetly and accurately determine your partner's ring size, ensuring that stunning engagement ring or special diamond ring fits perfectly!
Borrow One of Their Rings
If your partner already wears rings, you're in luck. The easiest way to figure out their size is to discreetly borrow a ring they wear on their ring finger. Take it to a jeweler, and they can tell you the exact size in no time. Just be sure to return it before they notice!
Trace It
If borrowing the ring is too risky, you can try tracing the inside and outside of the ring on a piece of paper. Take that sketch to your jeweler, and they'll be able to estimate the size. This method works best for round or simple rings, such as classic anniversary bands.
Enlist a Friend or Family Member
Sometimes, the people closest to your significant other can be your best allies. Enlist the help of a friend or family member who may already know their ring size. If they don't, they can casually ask without raising suspicion.
Measure While They Sleep
If your partner is a heavy sleeper, try gently wrapping a piece of string or a soft tape measure around their ring finger while they sleep. Mark the point where the string meets, and take that to a jeweler. This technique can be a bit tricky, but with patience, it can work like a charm!
Try It on Your Own Finger
If your partner's ring is close in size to your own fingers, you can try sliding it onto your finger and mark where it stops. This gives your jeweler a good reference point to determine their size. Make sure to note which finger and hand you used, as both can affect the size!
Drop Hints in Conversation
Another approach is to bring up rings in casual conversation. For example, while discussing a friend's engagement or a piece of jewelry, ask about ring preferences and sizes. You could even playfully suggest trying on rings the next time you're out shopping for bracelets or hoop earrings to gauge their size.
Purchase a Sizer Tool
If you're truly stumped, consider buying an inexpensive ring sizer online. You can use this tool on your partner's existing rings, or, if they're open to it, measure their finger directly. This method is particularly helpful when choosing an engagement ring or a significant solitaire pendant.
When in Doubt, Size Up
If all else fails, opt for a slightly larger size. It's easier to resize a ring to make it smaller than to make it bigger. Most jewelers, including Robinson's Jewelers, offer resizing services to ensure the perfect fit.
With these simple and discreet techniques, you can confidently surprise your significant other with the perfect ring. Whether it's for an engagement, anniversary, or simply a meaningful gift, ensuring that the ring fits perfectly will make the moment even more special.
