The Ultimate Guide to Finding Your Partner's Ring Size for a Surprise Proposal

The surprise proposal: it's a timeless gesture filled with romance and excitement. But for many, the moment is tinged with one very common question: "What if I get the ring size wrong?"

Your Secret Ring Sizing Toolkit

While a free resize is there for you, here are a few expert ring sizing tips to get you as close as possible to the correct fit.

1. The Most Common Sizes

If you have no information at all, it can be helpful to know that a majority of women's rings are a size J through to N. With ring size M being the most common, this can be a great place to start if you're truly unsure.

2. The "Borrowed Ring" Method

Sizing your partner’s existing rings is a helpful tool. However, it’s vital to know what finger the ring is worn on. A ring worn on their index finger, for example, will be a very different size from one worn on their ring finger. If you can get hold of a ring they wear on the correct finger, you can use our printable ring sizer to measure its diameter.

3. Recruit a Secret Agent

Does your partner have a close friend or family member who might know their ring size? Asking them can be a great way to get a solid answer. Just be sure they can keep the secret!
