Getting the ring size right is critical — especially if you're planning a surprise proposal. Here's everything you need to know.
How to Find Her Ring Size (Without Asking)
- Borrow a ring she already wears — trace the inside circle on paper or press it into a bar of soap, then measure the diameter
- Ask her friends or family — someone close to her likely knows or can find out discreetly
- Use the string method — while she's sleeping, gently wrap a thin string around her ring finger and mark where it overlaps
Average Ring Sizes
The average women's ring size in the US is between 5 and 7, with size 6 being the most common. When in doubt, size up slightly — it's easier to resize a ring down than up.
Can Rings Be Resized?
Yes. Most rings can be resized up or down 1-2 sizes by a jeweler. Solitaire and plain band styles are easiest to resize. Eternity bands and heavy pave settings may have limitations. At Nuar, we offer complimentary resizing within 30 days of purchase.
