How to Find the Perfect Engagement Ring Size (Without Asking)
Written by Sherry Shi, Co-Founder @ ROEN
Choosing the perfect engagement ring is one thing — guessing their ring size is another. If you're aiming to keep the surprise under wraps, here are some discreet yet effective ways to get it right:
1. Enlist a Friend
Ask one of their close friends to suggest a casual stop at a jewelry store. While browsing for fun, they can suggest getting sized — and quietly relay the details back to you.
2. Borrow a Ring They Own
If they wear rings on their ring finger, quietly borrow one and have it sized by a jeweler. Just be sure to return it quickly.
3. Trace It
For a subtler approach, trace the inner and outer edges of one of their rings on paper. A jeweler can often determine the size from your outline.
4. Measure While They Sleep
If you're feeling bold, gently measure their finger with a piece of string or paper while they’re asleep. Mark where it meets, and you’ll have a solid estimate.
5. Gift a Fashion Ring
A stylish statement piece can be a thoughtful gift — and a clever way to gauge their size.
6. Ask a Family Member
Parents or siblings may have the answer — just be prepared for some excitement.
7. When in Doubt, Size Up
If you’re unsure, sizing up is often the safer choice. Resizing down is easier than sizing up.
Finding the right fit may take some creativity, but the effort is well worth it. When you're ready to create something unforgettable, we’d love to help. Reach out to bespoke@roen.nyc to get started.
