4 Tips For Purchasing The Right Size Engagement Ring

A Guide to Ring Sizing, Selection, and Creating Unforgettable Moments of Love

Planning on surprising your partner with an engagement proposal? Then you’ll definitely need the perfect engagement ring to solidify your commitment.

While your significant other will have likely dropped hints regarding their preferences, such as the type of metal and setting, they may not have notified you of their ring size. You don’t want to play a guessing game, however.

To help you out, we’ve put together a guide to getting the correct ring size for your partner while ensuring the proposal remains a secret.

 

Things to consider

The process of selecting the perfect engagement ring for your partner can be challenging, especially if you haven’t had much experience in this field prior to this. Bear in mind, the average engagement ring size for a woman is an O and for a man is a T but each person is different and one size certainly doesn’t fit all.

Look at their other rings

If your partner tends to wear rings, check their jewellery box to get an idea of their ring size. Obviously, the finger that they wear the ring on matters – one worn on the index finger will usually be bigger than the ring finger.

Sometimes, the ring will have the size engraved on the inside but this isn’t always the case. In this instance, use a size guide to measure the ring. All you need to do here is place the ring over the sizing circles until one matches the inside edge of the ring.

If you’re still unsure, head to a reputable jeweller who will help you figure out what size ring would fit your partner best. They will also be able to give you some ideas about the different types of styles and cuts of rings available, including how you can incorporate side stones and other precious gems.

Ask family and friends

Getting the opinion of family and friends can be useful when choosing an engagement ring, particularly those who have already undergone the process. They may have previously bought a ring for your partner and know the size or may have an idea of what ring they would love the most.

Take this opportunity to ask your partner’s father for their approval of the engagement. Not only will this put you in good stead but it will also up the excitement ahead of your engagement announcement.

The proposal

Now you’ve got your hands on the perfect ring in the correct size, it’s time to propose. Whether the ring turns out to be right after all won’t matter as the occasion itself is momentous enough. You can always have the ring resized if it has plain shoulders.

If the ring contains diamonds on the shoulders, it can’t be resized, so be careful when purchasing one of these and check the retailer’s exchange policy.

After ensuring you’ve mastered the art of selecting the ideal engagement ring size, another crucial aspect to consider is the setting for the proposal. Choosing the right moment and location can elevate the entire experience and create a cherished memory for both you and your partner. Think about your partner’s preferences and favorite places. Whether it’s a romantic sunset on the beach, a cozy dinner at home, or a picturesque hike with a breathtaking view, setting the stage thoughtfully adds an extra layer of significance to the proposal. Additionally, consider enlisting the help of friends or family to capture the moment on camera or video, preserving the joyous occasion for years to come. Remember, the proposal is not just about the ring—it’s about the commitment and love you share. So, make it a moment that reflects your unique connection and the journey you’re embarking on together.
