Sshh! How to Find Out Your Girlfriend's Ring Size Without Her Noticing?

Feb 12, 2025

Planning a surprise proposal? One of the trickiest parts is figuring out her ring size without ruining the surprise. Luckily, there are several clever ways to do it discreetly. Here’s how you can secretly find out your girlfriend’s ring size without her suspecting a thing.

  • Borrow One of Her Rings
    If she already wears rings, this is the easiest way to get her size. Here’s what you can do:
    • Find a ring she wears on her ring finger
    • Measure it using a ring sizing app or an online guide.
    • If possible, take it to a jeweler for a precise measurement. Just make sure she won’t notice it’s missing!

  • Ask.Her.Best.Friend.
    Her best friend, sister, or mother can be your secret weapon.
    • Ask them if they know her ring size already.
    • Have them casually take her ring shopping and get her to try on different sizes “for fun.”
    • If they’ve recently bought her a ring, they might already know her size and style.
  • Compare Hands
    A subtle trick is to compare your fingers to hers.
    • Hold her hand and casually place one of her fingers against yours.
    • If her ring finger seems close to the size of your pinky or another finger, use that as a reference.
    • Later, go to a jeweler and get that finger measured.

  • Use a String or Paper Trick
    If she’s a heavy sleeper, this might work:
    • Gently wrap a piece of string or thin paper around her ring finger while she sleeps.
    • Mark the spot where the ends meet.
    • Measure it against a ring size chart.
    • Be careful—if she wakes up, you might have some explaining to do!

  • Get Playful with a Jewelry Store Visit
    If you’re not in a rush, take her shopping under the guise of looking for something else.
    • Stop by a jewelry store and try on rings “for fun.”
    • Suggest she tries one on to see what styles she likes.
    • Pay close attention when she mentions her size.

  • Use a Fake Ring for a Reaction
    • Buy an inexpensive fashion ring and give it to her as a “just because” gift.
    • Get a slightly bigger size and see if it fits or if she mentions it’s too loose/tight.
    • Adjust accordingly for the real ring.

  • Ask Her Directly (But Make It Super Sneaky)
    If subtlety isn’t working, you can ask her—but in a way that won’t raise suspicion.
    • Say you’re getting a ring for a family member or friend and need a size reference.
    • Casually ask her what size she wears for rings.
    • If she’s into fashion, she might already know her size.

Final Tip: When in Doubt, Size Up

If you’re unsure, go slightly bigger rather than smaller. It’s easier to resize a ring down than to make it bigger. Most jewelers offer free resizing for engagement rings.
