I don't know my girlfriend's ring size help

Here's some tips to find out her size in secret..

• Borrow a ring: If your partner wears rings, borrow one when they're not around and take it to a jeweller to get sized. Make sure it's a ring they wear on the finger you plan to put the new ring on.
• Trace a ring: Trace the inside of one of their rings on a piece of paper. A jeweller can use this to estimate the size. Or you can use our chart to work out the size. https://diamondrensu.com.au/pages/find-your-ring-size-at-home
• Use a ring sizer: Buy an inexpensive ring sizer online. When your partner isn't looking, try to slip it on their finger while they're sleeping.
• Ask a friend: If your partner has a close friend, enlist the friend to try their ring on your partner's finger and see if the size matches.
• Just ask: If you're not worried about ruining the surprise, the easiest way to find out their ring size is to just ask! You could say you're thinking about getting them a ring as a gift, or that you're curious about their ring size for future reference.

We know it's not always possible to get to a jewellery store, especially if you live remotely. We offer a free 30-Day Money Back Guarantee, so if your ring is more than 1 size too big or small, we will remake it for free. (except for custom rings - a remake fee applies)

No you most certainly do not! "Just buying a ring and hoping for the best" can be a very expensive mistake. If the ring is too large (4 sizes or above) it will be almost impossible to resize. The options will be either a reshank (new band) or a compeltely new make. The same answer for a ring that is too small unfortunately. An incorrect size is made even more difficult if you have diamond set shoulders. 

Perhaps encourage a trip out with her girlfriends and give one of them the heads up that you like them to take her to a local jeweller and look at rings. They can encourage her to have her finger sized in store. 

Some businesses, like ours (Argyle Jewellers) offer a digital ring sizing sheet which is very simple to use and can at least get you very very close to the correct size. You can also "borrow" one of her rings when she's not wearing it and either put it on one of your fingers and take a photo to indicate where the ring sits on your finger then show your jeweller. I know you say your girlfriend doesn't wear a ring so these options may not be best for you. 

Best advice I can give you is to always buy from a reputable jeweller - a bricks and mortar store. Buying online can be a costly exercise and you never receive the backup support you do from a local business. You may think you're saving yourself a few dollars but in the long run you build a relationship with the business that are creating/selling you something pretty special.

If you’ve talked about marriage before, you could always go ring shopping together to get the right size and style.

If you want to keep it a surprise, here are a few tricks:

1. Check her other rings – Sneak one she wears on her ring finger (left or right hand) and take it to a jeweller to check the size.

2. Use a ring sizer – You can grab a ring measuring tool off Amazon or print a size chart online.

3. Ask a friend or family member – They might already know her size or can casually bring it up. Something like "I'm in to gold right now and want to buy a ring online but I don't know my size". This can kick off the conversation for the friend to take your girlfriend shopping and both get fitted. 

4. Play it safe – If you’re not sure, go a bit bigger. It’s usually easier to resize a ring down than up.

A jeweller can also help estimate based on her height, hand shape, and general size trends.
