Marriage proposals should be special. They are the culmination of years in search of a life partner. When you kneel and present the ring, you?re taking the ultimate step to bettering both your and your partner?s future. To make the proposal perfect, some opt to make it a surprise. This creates a conundrum: finding a suitable engagement ring. People have strong opinions on jewelry, so it?s essential to give her something she likes. But simply asking her will ruin the surprise. Learn how to find out what ring she wants in secret with these tips from our team at Bob Richards Jewelers in Germantown, Tennessee.

Find Her Ring Size

It?s essential to figure out her ring size before you buy. Everyone has a ring size unique to them; multiple, in fact. Every finger is sized differently. The ring finger on the right-hand does not necessarily correspond to the finger on the left. If the ring does not fit perfectly, it can slip off accidentally or cut off blood flow. Both are situations that could dampen an otherwise magical proposal.

To figure it out without asking, there are many strategies at your disposal. First, ask a friend. While it?s likely they do not know the answer, you can collude with them to find out. Their friend could offer a fashion ring and ask her ring size to see if it fits. Second, measure her finger discreetly. If she?s a heavy sleeper, tie some yarn around her ring finger and mark where ends meet. Last, simply ask her with the pretense of giving her a fashion ring.

Learn Her Jewelry Favorites

Jewelry designers make many beautiful pieces in a variety of materials. Whether rose gold or platinum, each caters to a distinct audience. Find what audience your soon-to-be spouse belongs to by searching their collection or questioning their friends. Here?s what you need to know:

  • Favorite precious metal: White, yellow, or rose gold?
  • Preferred diamond shape: Round, princess, or something else?
  • Balance: Bold, understated, or something in between?
  • Aesthetic: Vintage, floral, or modern?

Note that it?s just as important to figure out what they dislike. Some people may love the complexity of twisting bands but strongly dislike rose gold?s bold hue.
