Go to a reputable jeweler to get your ring resized—ideally, visit the one who originally made your ring.

Expert Answer

Ring size can actually change depending on the time of day. In fact, your fingers tend to be pretty swollen when you first wake up, so it's better to measure your ring size at a different time.

Question

How do I find ring size without the person knowing?

Community Answer

if they wear a ring, admire it and ask if you can try it on and make note of how far down it goes and how loose/tight it is on your finger. You could also ask someone close to them who might know their sizes. Of course, a ring that is gold or silver can always be sized if you bought the wrong size. You could also take a good close up photo of their hand under some excuse or "by accident" as a good jeweler can usually look at a hand and guess pretty accurately at their size. You might also be able to sneak into their jewelry and try on a ring there and remember how it fits one of your fingers and buy one that fits you like that. If they remove a ring, trace around it onto paper when they're not looking.

Question

Can I size a ring up?

Community Answer

In most cases, yes. If the ring is gold, then a jeweler can stretch it to make it slightly larger. Keep in mind that not all rings can be stretched, and some rings can only be stretched a small amount.

How can I find her finger size?

The best way to accurately ensure you have the correct size is to ask her. Or, if you want to keep it a surprise, ask a close friend or relative of hers who might know.

Are rings measured in millimeters or centimeters?

You do the same thing you would do for your fingers, but the sizes will be large if you use your big toe.

Can my ring finger be the same size as my shoe size?

Community Answer

It could be the same number by coincidence, but the two use different systems and are not related.

What should I do if my size is not available?
