How to Find Your Ring Size

Helpful Tips for Getting the Right Fit

When it comes to ring sizing, there are a few things worth keeping in mind to make sure you get the perfect fit:

1. Your dominant hand is usually bigger. Most people have slightly larger fingers on their dominant hand, so be sure you’re measuring the correct hand and finger.

2.Band width matters. Wider rings tend to feel a bit tighter than thinner ones. If you’re using one of your partner’s rings to guess the size, try to pick one that’s close in width to the ring you plan to buy.

3.Temperature affects size. Fingers can swell in the heat and shrink when cold, so the best time to measure is when your hands are at a normal, comfortable temperature.

4.Measure later in the day. Fingers tend to be at their largest in the evening, so that’s the best time to take a measurement for the most accurate fit.

5.Large knuckles? No problem. If your partner has larger knuckles, take two measurements—one at the knuckle and one at the base of the finger—and choose a size in between. That way, the ring can slide on comfortably but still sit securely.

And don’t forget—you can use our ring sizer to make this even easier! It’s a quick and simple way to find the right size without the guesswork.

How to Find Your Partner’s Ring Size Without Giving Away the Surprise

Trying to figure out your partner’s ring size without spoiling the surprise can feel tricky—but it’s definitely doable! We’ve helped lots of people in this exact situation, and we’re happy to share some simple ways you can sneakily find out:

1. Ask their friends. If they don’t already know your partner’s ring size, maybe they can take them “just for fun” to try on some rings and let you know what size fits best.

2. Borrow a ring. If you can discreetly borrow one of their rings, that can give you a great clue. Just make sure it’s a ring they won’t miss and that it’s meant for the right finger—or at least close to it.

3. Trace a ring. Another easy trick is to carefully trace the outline of one of their rings on a piece of paper, both the outer and inner edges. This can help us figure out the ring’s inner diameter and give a good estimate of their size.

4. Compare fingers. It’s not the most precise method, but you can compare your fingers to theirs. For example, is your pinky about the same size as their ring finger? This can help you get a rough idea.

5. Just ask. If your partner already suspects a proposal might be coming, you could consider just asking them their ring size. At least this way, the surprise of the ring design and proposal moment stays intact!
