Finding out someone's ring size without asking directly can be a bit tricky, but there are a few stealthy methods you could use to obtain this information:
-
Borrow a Ring: If she already wears a ring on her ring finger (or a similar size finger, like the right hand ring finger if you're after an engagement ring for the left hand), you can temporarily borrow it to get it measured by a jeweler.
-
Trace a Ring: If borrowing the ring is not an option, you can trace the inside of the ring on a piece of paper a few times and take these tracings to a jeweler to determine the size.
-
Ring Sizer Tool: You can purchase a ring sizer tool online. If you find a moment when she's not around, you can use it to measure a ring she already owns.
-
Use a String or Paper Strip: Wrap a thin strip of paper or a piece of string around her ring finger, mark where it overlaps then measure the length against a ruler. Note that this method can be inaccurate, so it's best used as a last resort.
-
Ask Friends or Family: Enlist the help of her friends or family members; they may already know her ring size or be able to find out more subtly.
-
Use Her Other Jewelry: If she owns a ring that doesn't fit on her ring finger but might fit on one of your fingers, try it on and remember where it fits on your finger. When you go to the jeweler, you can find a ring that fits the same way on you.
-
Compare Fingers: When holding her hand, you can compare her ring finger to your fingers and estimate the size based on your measurements.
-
Casual Conversation: Engage her in a conversation about ring sizes under the guise of needing it for a friend or family member. This may prompt her to reveal her own size out of curiosity.
-
The 'Just in Case' Approach: If the ring topic comes up organically, you might suggest she gets her ring size measured 'just in case' anyone ever needs to know.
-
Proposing a 'Fun Activity': Suggest going to a jewelry store for a fun outing together, where she can casually have her finger sized under the pretext of curiosity or fun.
Please remember to consider the potential risks of each method with respect to privacy and personal boundaries. It's usually best to find a way that maintains the surprise without invading privacy or causing suspicion.
