OK, so you have finally decided that she is the one for you! You have come up with your ingenious and original way of how you are going to “pop the question”; a beach in some exotic location? A romantic candle lit dinner? Taking her back to the first place you met? All great ideas, but now you have the fundamental problem, the one thing that 99.9% of all us guys do not know, what is her ring size??? Something that you need to know before presenting her with her custom tungsten wedding rings! How better to ruin that special moment, trying to push the ring on her finger only to find its three sizes too big, or god forbid, it be to small and you break a nail with your attempt to get it on!!?? Well fear not, as within this article you are going to be given a fools guide, as let’s be honest that is what we all need, to finding out your partners ring size without her knowing. The tips and techniques that you find below have most probably came from hours of panic and confusion from people in the very situation which you find yourself now, so although some better than others, each idea is worth careful consideration.

There are of course two basic types of design in jewelry, the simple or the plain design, this is the most common. The other type is the complex or the sophisticated design. By just knowing the basics of each type, use your computer and internet access to research about various custom tungsten wedding bands online you too can be a good jeweler in no time. There are so many good online stores out there, some even have interactive browsing, you can view all sorts of rocks, gems and settings. This can be really helpful for your quest in searching for that ideal ring.

The fun part in looking for a ring that would symbolize your love for your partner starts at looking and playing around, but if you are hesitant to do some research and afraid that you might mess with the custom tungsten rings you can always ask for professional help. Some professional jewelry makers can make a wonderful ring out of sheer creativity; these guys basically know more about these things than you do, so listen to his or her suggestions. Ask your favorite jeweler for their design, change it slightly with the details you want to add or some things you want to remove and combine some designs you have in mind with the jeweler’s design etc.

It is also extremely important that you get a ring that she wears frequently; this is not going to work if you take a ring that she hasn’t worn since her school prom, or since she was a bridesmaid at her great aunts wedding in 1984! Taking one of her current rings with you is usually a fool proof method of getting a completely accurate ring size, ensuring that the Engagement Ring fits perfectly! Once again, this is a method that is not by any means going to be successful for everyone; it very much depends on whether or not your partner is a “heavy sleeper “. As we are all well aware some people are a lot easier to wake up and disturb than others, so knowing your partners sleep behaviour is vital. Using a ring sizer or ring size chart while she sleeps could be an effective method or getting an accurate measurement but this again is a risky business. If you are attempting to get the ring size and she wakes up catching you with a ring chart or something similar around her finger, you can be pretty sure that your plan is foiled. Although she may not realise instantly, rest assured it is likely that she will have that “Eureka Moment” whilst enjoying her toast or cornflakes in the morning. If you partner is a heavy sleeper and a herd of wild elephants couldn’t wake her, then this is a good option. It may be worthwhile attempting this after she has had a few large glasses of wine to make sure she is in a deep slumber! A popular and extremely successful method is to take a measurement of one of her rings whilst she isn’t looking. Now it would be a good idea not to attempt this whilst the ring is on her finger, unless of course you are Harry Houdini! Your initial task is to find a time when she is not wearing the ring, remember you do not need much time to do this so even quickly measuring whilst she is in the shower will work. If you feel that this is going to be your best method of getting her ring size, then I would suggest using paper and drawing around the inside of the ring with a pen or pencil. It is vital that you do not draw around the outside of the ring (for the obvious reasons). Take the outline of the ring to the jewellers and explain to them exactly what you have done, they should then be able to size the ring from that. Accuracy with the pen or pencil is important! There are other methods of measuring without the use of a pencil, including taking a mould of the inside of the ring using playdo or something similar, or even measuring the inside of the ring with callipers or another accurate measuring device. Trying to inadvertently ask her what her ring size is, without actually asking her….. always going to be difficult! Firstly you need to in some way bring the subject up in an extremely subtle manner, a good technique maybe suggesting that you are looking to possibly buy a ring and asking what ring size she thinks you will be; you could then ask what hers is without ringing to many alarm bells. You need to be careful doing this as probing too much will almost certainly blow your cover! Many places can provide ring gauges to help you get an accurate measurement; companies such as Wedding Rings Direct offer them completely free of charge. One piece of advice when buying an engagement ring not knowing your partners ring size would be to get the ring a size too big rather than it being too small. It is important that the ring slips on her finger during that special moment; remember the ring can easily be resized to fit her finger later. So hopefully after reading this you will have a better idea of how you are going to get your girlfriends ring size in order to buy her the perfect engagement ring at the first attempt! With the difficult part done, if she says yes, you can both choose the Wedding Ring of her choice at a later date!
