My top tips for getting your partner’s ring size correct

Jumping straight in, below you’ll find easy to follow paragraphs. Each paragraph details my 5 tips how  to measure partner’s ring size.

1 Besties come in handy, literally – Ask your partner’s friend if they can help you to get the ring size right. They may have a ring your partner loves. Maybe ask them to lend it to your partner for a while and see which finger it fits on. Then get their friend to measure the diameter.

2 Become a detective – If you’re able to swiftly pick up any rings lying around, make a quick imprint of one. You can push her favourite ring into a piece of blutac, wax, bar of soap, air drying clay, playdough or fresh slice of bread. Once you have your imprint you can measure the inside diameter in your own time.

3 Measure a ring – If you are able to take a ruler and measure the inside diameter of one of your partner’s rings. Also not which finger it fits on. Any expert will be able to guide you from this information.

4 While they are sleeping – If you are bold enough or your partner sleeps soundly enough you can measure their ring finger when they are asleep using this inexpensive Ring Size Tool. 

5 Put a ring on it – If your partner wears a ring on their ring finger on the right hand you could try it on yourself. Put the ring on and mark your finger with a pen line below the ring, nearest to your hand. Then pop to a jewellery shop and get your finger measured at that line.
