Finding Your Partners Ring Size
This article gives some great hints and tips on finding the correct ring size when designing your own bespoke engagement ring.
Now you’ve found the perfect partner, someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, the next question is how do you find out their ring size? Not to worry here at HK Bespoke we have come up with some fun and unusual ways to wheedle out the perfect fitting engagement ring.
The Sneaky Options
Finding the correct size without ‘giving the game away’ can often be a challenging task. The best thing to remember when finding out their engagement ring size is to go for the method which best suits your situation and provides the most accurate results. Try to find some time when they won’t be aware that you’re involved in a covert operation e.g. when: sleeping, washing the dishes, at the gym, or even whilst they are having a shower!
If you can, try to find a ring which your partner wears on the correct finger, and ‘nab’ it for a little while. The most accurate way is to make a quick trip to a local jeweller who should be able to size it. Alternatively, you could rent a ring gauge to use at the opportune moment. The ‘imprint option’ is also effective. This involves taking some kind of impression of the ring. This could be using a pencil to draw out the interior of their ring or using something like clay or wax. Pressing the ring, carefully, into the product will create a great outline. (Make sure to clean it after). You could also use a tapered candle as a home-made ring sizer! Put it on the top, push it down slightly until the ring fits on snugly and leaves a slight impression on it. Lastly, if they sleep heavily, try looping string around their finger. Don’t forget to mark the ends where they cross over though!
Enlisting Help
Recruiting help can often be a great way of finding out an engagement ring size. You may find that this is something families might know from buying rings previously. If not, you can always have a best friend take your partner shopping to find a new dress ring…. or take all the work out of it and have them ask for you!
You now your partner best, if they’re a suspicious type find someone who can be stealthy, subtle and trustworthy under questioning!
Up Front
Remember, you could always ask if you are really worried about getting it just perfect. And the element of surprise isn’t totally lost when doing this. Afterall, you can keep some mystery with the proposal place, time and of course choice of ring.
Not to worry though, if you find that it’s still not quite right, you can always have engagement rings sized later. All you have to do now is to find that perfect ring from the many eligible options out there. Whether it’s a one-of-a-kind design or a fully bespoke commission, you need the one that will make your partner say … ‘Yes’.
