Wedding Wednesdays: How to Measure Ring Size without Her Knowing

Wondering how to measure ring size withour her knowing? Don't worry! You don't have to ruin a surprise proposal by asking your partner their ring size. Find an insider source who might have the scoop on what ring size she wears. A mom, best friend or sister may know, or can work their magic to find out her ring size without her suspecting a thing.

Also, pay attention to the jewelry she's already wearing. Does she have a ring she loves that fits on her left ring finger or even her middle finger? If so, wait for her to remove it and secretly take it to a jeweler to be sized. If she only takes it off to work out or shower and you have limited access to the ring, buy a bar of soap and press the ring in to make a mold. Your jeweler should be able to use the markings to identify the correct ring size.

If she literally only takes her rings off to lotion her hands for five seconds, slip the ring on your finger and note exactly where it fits on your finger. Using the various ring size charts and sizers, you or a jeweler should be able to replicate the fit.

And when all else fails, go for a larger ring size; it's easier to resize a ring smaller than it is to go bigger. But if you do decide to get the ring together, here are some additional jeweler tips for sizing:

• Go for a snug fit
• Keep seasons in mind
• Consider the width of the band
• Warm up your hands
• Go big. If you get two different finger measurements or find that a ring you wear often fits differently from time to time, it's best to choose a slightly larger ring size, and, if you can, consult a professional.

We hope this has given you a starting point to devour the details of finding the right size ring for your one and only! For more information on ring sizes, visit TheKnot.com.
