How in the world can you find her ring size without her knowing about it? This is the person you've decided to spend the rest of your life with. It is a major, milestone decision and it's a ring (THE ring) that she will be wearing for the rest of her life (no pressure...) By this point in the relationship, you probably know her taste. Maybe you've even looked at engagement rings together and know the type of setting she would really like or what her idea of the perfect ring would be. One thing stands in your way most likely. Do you know her ring size? Here are some top ways to find her size without her knowing she's receiving a ring from you. ![Top ways to find her ring size without her knowing](https://gittelsonjewelers.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Gittelson-Jewelers-Diamond-Rings.jpg) ## How to find her ring size in secret Being sneaky (and it might not feel right at first) requires some personal reserve. You'll need to plan it out and allow some time for information to present itself to you. If you've done your job from the beginning, then time is on your side. Don't ask random questions about rings or window shop together 30-60 days before you plan to pop the question. Make this a journey and go long-term. The time that you invest into the process, the more special the ring, the moment and the memories will be for her. So here's our list. You may have thought of some of these already, but many men ask this question. They'll even [call our local jewelry store](https://gittelsonjewelers.com/contact-us/) and ask for suggestions on how to get this job done without causing "alarm" from their significant other. Let's tackle these ideas and if you have your own, leave them in the blog comment section. ### Start with her family Everyone's situation is different but if you're on good terms with her family and you trust them enough to get involved in the early stages and to keep the information under lock and key, then this is your best place to start when trying to find her ring size. It's highly likely that her mother or sister (if she has one or several) will already know her ring size. Her sister is risky... she'll want to obey the laws of sisterhood and spill the beans. But mom should be a rock-solid resource. ### Dial-a-friend In our opinion, this is also risky business but if you're enlisting the help of her closest long-time friends, they'll be honored and excited at the idea of helping you in your discovery. It's quite possible that her closest friends know her ring size already, as it may have come up in conversation while on a shopping trip together or over a glass of wine talking about when their boyfriends may propose to them... Better yet, If one of your partner’s friends is engaged, ask her friend to let your girlfriend try on the ring (you know, for fun!). This will put you in the ballpark right away, but you can also use this as an opportunity to ask what she thought of her friend’s engagement ring. If you're not quite sure at this stage what style of engagement ring might tickle her fancy, this is a sure-fire way to harvest this information quickly while trying to find her ring size. ![Top ways to find her ring size without her knowing](https://gittelsonjewelers.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/scott-webb-18685-1.jpg) ### Borrow a ring This one is a popular choice and puts a little adventure into your life. We have worked with many fine gentlemen who enter our store with a lifted ring from their girlfriend's jewelry box. Obviously, this is a much easier task if you already live together. There is plenty of opportunity to snoop around and to get it back in place in ample time without her noticing that it's gone. Of course, you'll have to be sure that the ring you're borrowing is one that currently fits the finger you're looking to adorn. Maybe she wears this on the opposite hand once in the while. Make sure to place it in safe pocket and head to your local jeweler to have them size it for you. If you make this journey successfully, you should be golden. ### Sneak it into daily routine We've seen this one work for many guys. Do you think you've got in you to be this devious? If you have a routine that you typically engage in together, such as watching television at night, browsing the internet or cooking together, then you have ample options for random banter. The easiest "in" that you could possibly have here is to watch programming on local tv stations and when a jeweler commercial comes on, make some comment on how you like a certain ring or piece. See if you can get the conversation rolling in a few short steps. Don't over do it... you'll give away your intentions. You may want just play stupid once she's engaged in the conversation and ask some innocuous questions like "how do you know what's good or not? You could decide to gift a ring to someone else, such as a [mother's ring for your mom](https://gittelsonjewelers.com/product/bezel-set-mothers-ring-2/). Involve your future fiancé into this process and go look at some. Put this ring on her finger and very indirectly get her ring size. ### Ask her... Lastly, you may just want to ask her. The entire point of this article was to operate a secret mission, but if none of these are working out for you then you may just want to ask. Modern couples have looked beyond many of the traditional aspects of marriage and like to be involved together every step of the way. So the surprise factor may not have as much bearing on the ring proposal itself, depending on your relationship. Of course, the proposal itself should still be a secret. Today it is very common to see young couples discussing the engagement before it actually happens. It might help keep you on the same page with expectations and financial commitments. You'll also be dead sure that you selected the style that she really wants. #### Stop by Gittelson Jewelers for a take-home ring-sizer Did you know that Gittelson Jewelers offers complimentary ring-sizers to bring home and get your loved one’s ring size?
