Buying a ring online makes it easy for you to find a ring that’s the right size and suits your partner’s tastes. But getting the size is the hard part. Here are a few ways to get her ring size without her finding out. Compare Hands If you have an eye for measurement, then you can compare your hands with hers to get an idea of her finger size. Then, you can use this for an estimate of the ring size when buying the ring. You have to use the hand on which the ring will go as the dominant hand tends to be a little larger than the other. Use a String or Tape Use a piece of string to measure around the finger while she is asleep. The string should not be stretchy, or it can impact the measurement.

This gives you the measurement you need to find the ring size for your partner. Measure a ring she currently owns, You can measure a ring she currently owns using either the inside diameter or the inside circumference. You can use a string similar to above or a ruler for the diameter and a tape for the circumference. Then match the size to the engagement ring you have chosen. Recruit her friends or family Ask a family member or friends if they know her ring size. Maybe they’ve tried on rings from each other they have been with her when she bought a ring. Either way, they may have the information easily at hand for you to get an estimate of her measurements and therefore her ring size.
