Planning a surprise proposal but don't know your partner's ring size? As Harrogate's engagement ring specialists, we'll show you exactly how to get the perfect fit.

Quick Ring Sizing Methods That Actually Work

Method 1: The Sleeping Hand Technique

  • When to try it: While partner is sleeping deeply
  • What you need: String or dental floss
  • How to measure: Gently wrap around finger base

Method 2: Borrow an Existing Ring

  • Choose: A ring they wear on their ring finger
