1. Borrow one of her rings

When not in use, take a ring and see if it fits any of your fingers. Take note of where the ring fit, or make a quick mark on your finger then later measure the diameter of that same place. If it's a ring from the right hand, this can still work as an estimated size.

2. Enlist a friend

Contact her best friend, sister or close relative to help you. But, first make sure this person can keep the surprise! Usually, a mom or a close friend may already know her size.

3. Make a mark

Take note, and mark the same part of your matching finger next time you are alone. This may not be entirely accurate but helps to get a good guess.

Hints from the Experts

All hands are not created equal. Because the dominant hand may actually measure larger, be sure to measure the left hand.
The average woman's ring size is right around size 6.
Purchasing a very wide band? Consider ordering a 1/4 to 1/2 size larger. As the ring will take more space on her finger.
