Looking for a wedding ring in Pittsburgh? Start by finding your partner’s ring size and make sure to keep it a surprise
Getting ready to pop the question can be nerve wracking. There are so many variables you want to get just right for your partner. One of the things you absolutely want to get right is the ring size — and you have to do it without her knowing! After all, before you go looking for wedding rings in Pittsburgh, you have to get the size. In this article, we’ll be discussing a few of the ways that you can get an accurate ring size measurement without giving away the surprise.
The most obvious way that you can get an accurate measurement is by simply snagging one from her jewelry box. The key part of this strategy is to take a ring she rarely wears. If you choose a ring worn very often, she is likely to figure out the surprise. So, make sure you take a lesser-worn ring and take it to a jeweler.
One of the other major things you need to know is which finger the ring you’ve selected is worn on, as each finger has different sizing. Once you have the ring and you’ve figured out which finger the ring is for, it’s time to go to the jewler to start looking for a wedding ring in Pittsburgh.
Though this isn’t the most common trick, it may be the easiest. Once again, you need to take one of her rings — but this time not for very long. Then once you have the ring, place it on a piece of paper and trace the inside of the ring onto the piece of paper. You can then take that tracing to a jeweler and they’ll be able to size the ring from your sketch.
Another way you can easily — and quickly — take a ring measurement is by putting one of her rings on your hand. When the ring is on your hand, take a pen or a marker and make a small mark where the bottom of the ring hits on your ring finger. Then, when you go to the jeweler, they will size the ring from the marking on your hand. The most important part of this process is to mark below the ring on your finger. This way, you can slightly overestimate the ring size so it will properly slide on during your proposal. If the ring is slightly too small the ring may not go on at all, and you’ll have to size for a different wedding ring in Pittsburgh.
If you think she’ll notice you taking and covertly sizing one of her rings, the next step is to go to her friends. One of the best ways to get an accurate ring size for one of her friends is to have them try on each other’s rings. Tell one of her best friends to casually bring up the topic of rings at their next dinner together. Then, they’ll encourage their friends to share rings. Much like the sizing of the ring on your own finger one of her friends will size the ring, make a marking, and report back.
This plan may sound like the most difficult to pull off without her finding out, but it is actually kind of genius. One of her friends will take her out on a casual shopping trip. Not to a jewelry store, but maybe a department store or a place that sells accessories. All her friend has to do is point out a ring and try it on and offer it to your partner. Once they’ve done that, they’ll gauge your partner’s ring size from the shopping trip. Then you take their measurement back to a jeweler in Pittsburgh and start planning her ideal ring. After that it's time to start planning the perfect moment to pop the question.
