How to Find Someone Else’s Ring Size Discreetly

Planning a surprise proposal or gift? Here are some ways to find their size without them knowing:

• Borrow a Ring – Use a ring they wear on the same finger and have it measured.
• Ask Friends or Family – They may already know.
• Trace It – Place their ring on paper and trace the inside for a jeweler to estimate.
• Measure While They Sleep – Gently wrap a string around their finger and note the measurement.

Ring Types & Their Unique Sizing Considerations

• Engagement Rings – Since they are worn daily, sizing must be precise for long-term comfort. Changes in weight or pregnancy may affect size over time.
• Wedding Bands – If stacking with an engagement ring, ensure both rings fit comfortably together.
• Statement Rings – For bold, wide designs, a slightly looser fit may be more comfortable.

Can All Rings Be Resized?

Most rings can be resized, but some designs make it difficult:

• Eternity Bands – The continuous diamond design limits adjustability.
• Intricate Detailing – Delicate engravings or patterns may be affected.

If you are unsure whether a ring can be resized, schedule an appointment with Lisa Robin for expert guidance.

Ring Size Standards

• US vs. International Sizing – Different countries use different measurement systems, so always confirm before purchasing.
• Diameter vs. Circumference – Some brands list diameter, while others use circumference. Double-check the method used to avoid confusion.

Five Expert Tips for the Perfect Fit

1. Consider Temperature – Fingers shrink in cold weather and swell in heat.
2. Size Up If Unsure – It is easier to adjust a ring down in size than to enlarge it.
3. Account for Band Width – Wider bands fit tighter, so consider going up ¼ to ½ size.
4. Stacking Considerations – If wearing multiple rings together, ensure the total width allows for a comfortable fit.
5. Knuckle Factor – If you have larger knuckles, measure both the base of your finger and your knuckle, then choose a size in between.
