How do I find a man's ring size?

Finding a man's ring size is straightforward, but it helps to be discreet if it is a surprise. The easiest way is to borrow a ring he wears on his ring finger, or on the finger you plan to size. Place that ring on a ring sizer or measure its inner diameter. If he does not wear rings, you can use a printable sizer and wrap it around his finger while he sleeps, though that is not always accurate.

Another option is to ask his mum or a close friend if they know his size, but that is rarely reliable. The most accurate method is to visit a jeweller together, which many couples enjoy doing as part of planning. Jewellers will measure all fingers quickly and free of charge.

Remember that men's rings tend to be wider than women's, so a wider band may feel tighter. If you are buying a wide band, consider going up half a size. Also, left and right hands can differ, so always measure the specific finger and hand the ring will go on. If you are unsure, buy a standard size and plan to resize it locally after the proposal.
