Unsure of Your Partner's Ring Size? Here's What to Do

As an engagement, wedding and eternity ring specialist serving the Harrogate area, one of the most common questions we get from customers at Fogal and Barnes is: "What do I do if I don't know my partner's ring size?"

Finding the right ring size is crucial for comfort, style, and ensuring your partner can cherish the ring for years to come. In this blog post, we'll cover practical tips for discreetly determining your partner's ring size, as well as what to do if you can't get the exact measurement.

How to Discreetly Determine Your Partner's Ring Size

Unless your partner has already shared their ring size with you, you'll need to find a way to discreetly determine it. Here are some tips:

• Trace the inside of one of their rings on a piece of paper and bring that to the jeweller.
• Gently slide a string or piece of dental floss around their finger when they're sleeping or otherwise occupied, then measure the length.
• Ask a close friend or family member of your partner if they happen to know the size.

What If I Don't Know the Exact Size?

If you're unable to determine your partner's exact ring size, don't worry - there are a few options:

• Order the ring in their typical size range and have it professionally sized later.
• Propose with a placeholder ring, then take them ring shopping together to find the perfect fit.
• Work with a custom jeweller like Fogal and Barnes of Harrogate, to create a ring that can be sized up or down as needed.

Why is Ring Size Important?

Getting the ring size right is crucial for several reasons:

• Comfort - An ill-fitting ring can be uncomfortable or even painful to wear.
• Aesthetics - A ring that's too big or too small will look awkward and out of place on the finger.
• Longevity - A properly sized ring is less likely to get lost or damaged over time.

At the end of the day, the most important thing is that the ring represents your love and commitment. But taking the time to determine your partner's ring size will ensure they can wear it with joy and confidence for years to come.
