Here are the most accurate ways to determine ring size secretly:
Method 1: Borrow an Existing Ring
- Borrow a ring she wears on the same finger
- Press into soap to make an impression or trace inside circle
- Measure inner diameter with ruler
- Convert using ring size chart
Method 2: String/Paper Method
- Wrap thin paper around finger while she sleeps
- Mark overlap, measure in mm
- Compare to size chart
Tips
- Measure at end of day when fingers are warmest
- Size up if between sizes
- Wide bands fit tighter - go up half size
- Average women size is 6-7 US

Most online retailers will mail you a free plastic ring sizer. I left one lying around and asked my girlfriend to try it. She had no idea it was for her engagement ring.
