You've found that special someone—your soulmate, your better half. Now you're ready to take the next step, perhaps planning a surprise with a ring. But there's a delightful challenge ahead: determining their ring size without giving the game away.
As a bespoke jewellery designer with years of experience, I've helped many couples navigate this exciting yet tricky task. Getting the size right is crucial—you want your beloved to slip on that ring with ease and joy, not face the disappointment of an ill-fitting piece or the wait for resizing.
Let's explore some clever ways to become a master of this secret mission.
The Sherlock Holmes Approach: Investigating Existing Jewellery
Start by playing detective with their existing jewellery. If they have a ring they often wear on the intended finger, you could measure its diameter in millimetres or try it on your own finger, marking where it sits. Just remember to return it discreetly!
Calling in Reinforcements: Grabbing Help from Friends and Family
If stealth isn't your strong suit, why not grab some help? Family or friends could casually broach the subject, offer their own rings to try on, or even suggest a ring shopping trip 'for someone else'.
The Creative Solution: A Ring-Making Workshop
For a more hands-on approach, consider suggesting a ring-making workshop together. It's a fun, creative outing that solves your sizing dilemma whilst creating lasting memories.
The Digital Detective: Using Photos for Sizing
In our digital age, a clear photo of their hand can be surprisingly informative. As a jeweller, I've often gauged ring sizes from well-taken hand photos—just ensure it's a natural shot, perhaps holding a mobile or a cuppa.
The Midnight Mission: Measuring While They Sleep
For the boldest among you, there's the daring night-time mission: measuring their finger whilst they sleep. This method requires a deep sleeper and nerves of steel. Armed with a measuring tape or string, you could gently size their finger. But remember, swift and silent is key!
The Perfect Fit: Why Getting It Right Matters
By securing the correct ring size, you're not only showing thoughtfulness but also ensuring your partner can cherish their beautiful ring immediately, without the inconvenience of resizing.
I hope this guide inspires you with ideas to discover that perfect fit. Remember, this is part of your unique love story—enjoy every moment of it.
