How to Find a Ring Size (Even for a Surprise)
Reliable ways to measure ring size, plus discreet options when the proposal is a surprise.
By Ring Wisdom Editorial TeamPublished Updated
A professional sizing is most accurate
A local jeweler can measure a finger in a minute. Fingers change slightly with temperature, so measure at a normal room temperature.
If it's a surprise
Borrow a ring they wear on the same finger and have it measured, or ask a trusted friend for help.
Check resizing policies
Some ring designs are harder to resize. Ask the retailer about resizing options before purchasing.
