You want to offer a ring to a loved one, but you do not know its size? However, this information is essential for you to be able to place an order. To maintain the surprise effect, here are some tips. They will be useful to you in many cases. For example, if you want to offer an engagement ring to the woman in your life or choose alliances in complete confidentiality. For Valentine's Day, for Christmas, for a birthday..., it is also common for rings to be offered , to men and women alike. So, how to offer a ring without knowing the size to choose?
TAKE THE MEASUREMENTS OF A RING DISCREETLY
For the surprise to be at its height on the day you offer your gift, the ring must be the right size and the person must have suspected nothing. So you need to know the size of his fingers. There are different ways to do this.
Steal one of the rings she usually wears. If you want to buy an engagement ring, take something she wears on her ring finger, preferably on her left hand. Now that you have one of his favorite rings, you just have to measure its diameter. For this you can:
- Take it to a professional jeweler who will measure the diameter of the ring using a triboulet. For this solution, you need time. This means that if your future fiancée wears her ring every day, you won't be able to “borrow” it from her for too long.
- Compare it with the templates of a ring sizer that you have downloaded online and printed at the correct scale. It is an easy and quick solution to implement. Keep the paper on you and, as soon as you have the ring to be measured, compare it to the different printed templates. For example, take advantage of a moment when she takes off her jewelry, when she takes a bath or when she sleeps.
- Measure the diameter of the ring with a graduated and flat ruler then enter this measurement in a table of diameter in millimeters/ring size correspondence.
- Trace the exterior and interior contours of a ring on a sheet of paper using a well-sharpened pencil. It will then remain to measure the diameter with a ruler.
These techniques require a bit of set-up and discretion. They apply in all cases, whether you want to offer a ring to a woman or a man. Note that if you hesitate between two sizes, opt for the larger one.
MEASURE A FINGER CIRCUMFERENCE WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT
The other way to know your ring size is to measure the circumference of your finger where it is thickest. For an engagement ring, you will need to measure around the left ring finger. For this, we use a measuring tape or a graduated paper ruler that can be downloaded online and printed. A string can also be used to measure the circumference of the finger. But to do it with discretion, it will be necessary to show audacity and inventiveness. For example, take advantage of the person's sleep; it is still necessary that she does not wake up during the operation. You can also pretend a game or other to wrap a string around his fingers.
SEEK HELP FROM A FRIEND OR RELATIVES
Bring a friend into the confidence. It can be a relative, like the mother of your future fiancée or the brother of the man you love; or a friend: the future witness, the best friend… Ask this accomplice to take the person to a jeweler during a shopping day to try on rings; the friend or relative can then tell you their ring size. You can also ask relatives to swap rings with the person to find the right size. For example, among friends, women lend each other wedding rings and engagement rings.
AVERAGE RING SIZES
If you can't find out the ring size of the person you want to give a gift to, know that on average, women wear 52-54 rings and men, 60-62. Also keep in mind that, as with clothing, the sizes are not the same from one country to another.
AND IN CASE OF ERROR?
In most cases, it is possible to return your jewelry within days of purchase. You can be reimbursed if necessary, especially if it is not possible to take the ring back. Enlarging it is often complicated. This is why it is advisable, in doubt, to overestimate the size of the ring.
