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:

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.
