All the best things in life just does't come free, but in leaps and bounds of surprises, too. That notion applies to presenting unique diamond engagement rings to special ladies. It is such a lady's joy when the man she loves surprises her with a sparkling diamond ring as show his love for her.

 

But keeping it a surprise is where the challenge lies. If you follow tradition, it's the men who gets the burden of getting the engagement ring. If he asks her directly about her ring size, it's very likely that his woman would deduce that the ring will be for an engagement. The surprise would be prematurely revealed.

 

If you are planning to surprise your woman with a wonderful proposal, you would want to know her ring size without giving her any hint that you're going to present her with a valuable and meaningful piece of jewellery. So should you do it? Well, no worries because here are a few tips that can help you determine her ring size discreetly.

 

1. Is your lady a deep sleeper? Then you are definitely in luck. While she's in a deep slumber, measure the ring size of her left ring finger. You may need to have a small flashlight ready so you can see the numbers in pitch darkness. Be careful when doing this since the slight movement may rouse her from sleep.

 

2. Check out the size of her existing rings. Here's a great guideline: check a ring that she wears on the third finger of her right hand. If she does, then those rings are usually normally a size or two bigger. But if luck would have it, she would be wearing her rings on the left, making it the right size. Go through her jewellery box with discretion. Take one of her rings, have it measured at your jewellers, then place it back before she notices it missing.

 

3. Several months before the big night, take her out to go shopping. At the right moment, bring her to a jewellery shop and buy her a ring. It may be low as you like. She may become dubious, but tell her that this is just a gift of thanks or a gift that symbolizes your love as sweethearts. Let her fit the ring; initially, it may be too big or too small for her. When she arrives at the right-sized band, mentally take note of the size so you'll have an accurate reference when it's time to buy the real engagement ring.

 

4. Sometimes, outside help is a benefit. Ask a family member of a friend of your lady to help you get her correct ring size. It is likely that her best friend, parent, relative, or sibling would know her ring size when they bought her a ring for her birthday, graduation, or some other special day. This is a good strategy because your lady isn't likely to become suspicious. After all, why would she be suspicious of a family member or a best buddy? However, tell the friend or family member not to bust the silence to maintain the surprise.
