Tips for Measuring Ring Size

Don't measure cold fingers. This is when fingers are their smallest.

For the most accurate reading, measure the finger at the end of the day when the finger is the largest.

Tips for Buying the Ring as a Surprise

Getting it just right can be tricky, but not impossible.

Ask your partner's mother or one of her friends if they know her finger size.
