Does anyone know how to find out a girls ring size!!

[Stanleythecat]

Help needed!!!

My partner, who always claimed she never wanted to get married has been blatantly looking at rings on her laptop sat next to me on the sofa!! along with a few other comments I'm beginning to think she might have changed her mind!

We have an eight month old and I suppose it would be nice to have the traditional values for our kids to grow up with... vowed I wouldn't do it again but it kind of all feels right.

So how did you guys who have successfully gain her ring size and keep the surprise?

Might not be a rufty tufty enough thread for this site but desperate times and all that!!!

Thanks

Leo

I took a ring (that i knew fitted) out the jewelery box and got it sized, hope that help, or get you fingers sized all of them then you might be able to guess using your own as a guide?

I asked my Mrs on the spur of the moment and we chose the engagement ring together. There are pros and cons of having the ring with you when you ask, but I didn't find any cons to not having it when I asked.

Standard disclaimer: All women are different while all being exactly the same, so no matter which way you choose there will always have been an obvious better way.... i.e. her way (which you really should have thought of!)

Does she wear other rings that she keeps in her jewellery box?

If she does and one of them is her ring finger on her right hand use that as a guide to the right size.

I bought one that was bigger. Afterwards we went to the jewelery to make it fit.

Its a shame the word "size" doesn't appear in the list of thread titles - I was going to offer entirely different advice

We picked ours together and both enjoyed it, I have manage to buy several rings since after guessing size and never been wrong but that is more luck then anything!

On a more serious note, a wonderful goldsmith custom made our wedding rings - and we got exactly what we wanted with designs that were unique and personal. If you want something unique - for a very reasonable price, have a look at her site

GF rings fit my finger exactly - I found out when she gave them to me when she was messing with some lotions etc

From a female's point of view (congratulations by the way ) slightly larger is better than tight. Many women find rings tight a few days every month and as we age the rings can feel tighter again. My wedding ring is a K but I need an L when my hands ache.
There's an online ring sizer here.

I popped the question one day and we went shopping for rings the next

sit on the opposite sofa and save your money for a new knife!
or ask her mum, my missis is same size as her mum

 

[Man of Tanith]

I discretely pinched one of lisa's i knew she wore on finger of other hand.
then spent four days lookiing innocent and saying it'll turn up dont worry and other reassuring comments whilst hiding it in my wallet before taking it to a jewellers for a sizing.

 

[Shewie]

.... my missis is same size as her mum

I'd have to say something if that was our lass :yikes:

Don't they say to look at the mum and that's what your pride and joy will be like in forty years. Scary thoughts.

Take her finger to the jewlers, how you get it is down to your ingenuity.

Toddy makes another very good point, although I believe entirely accidentally.

Do, before you pop that question, make sure your wording is entirely unambiguous!

A work collegue had the stones for the ring and gave those over with the proposal. the plan then was to arrange with the jeweller to make the ring to her specs after...

I made a ring for the wife, I found the easiest (though least romantic) way was to ask for a ring that fitted and make it based on that....
