How do you determine correct ring size without someone knowing?

Are you thinking about a surprise proposal, but aren’t sure how to determine the correct ring size without your sweetheart knowing? Here are a few tips for getting a ring size on the sly:

how to determine the correct ring size without someone knowing

1: Go Shopping! Ask your mate to go shopping and help you find a ring for your friend (or sister, brother, mother, father, etc), under the guise that you think the recipient and your mate probably have the same size fingers. Make sure to have the rings sized as you shop, and don’t forget to write down the correct ring size!

2: Measure an existing ring! If your sweetheart already owns a ring that fits, you can take it to a jeweler to be measured. You can also find a printable ring size chart, where you can simply line up the existing ring with the corresponding circle to get the correct ring size.

3: Ask a friend for help! If the above methods seem to difficult or obvious, try enlisting the help of a trustworthy friend. Often a close friend will know just how to extract the necessary information, whether it’s through shopping or casual conversation.

Just remember, at Turtle Love Co almost any ring can be resized if it’s not a perfect fit. And if you’re not trying to surprise some one, we’re also happy to send you a free ring sizer.

 

A Post for the Budget-Savvy Bride or Groom - 7 Three-Piece Engagement and Wedding Ring Sets under $500

At Turtle Love Co., we want any couple with any budget to find the perfect set of rings for their special day. Four and a half years ago when my now husband and I were newly engaged (and unemployed!) college graduates, we didn’t have a lot of money to spend on engagement and wedding jewelry. I scoured the web for great deals on unique, high-quality rings and was able to find two sensible white gold wedding bands and an amethyst engagement ring with two tiny diamonds. All together, the three rings came to about $850 - not bad, but still well over what we wanted to spend!

If only Turtle Love Co. had existed back then! We could have gotten a unique, artisan engagement ring and two wedding bands created especially for us for under $500.

I kid you not.

Don’t believe me? See for yourself. The following is my list of super-awesome ring sets to fit a sensible budget of $500.
