Is there any way i can find out DP's ring size without actually measuring it... he does wear one ring but rarely takes it off?

I want to order his xmas present but would hate for it to be the wrong size...

I have been tossing up ideas on this exact problem! I am thinking I might print out a ring sizer chart, get him to take his ring off under some guise of "I got a new polishing cloth, want me to do yours", or something like that, and quickly measure it.

You can find the sizers through google pretty easily.

DP's ring doesn't come off easily so he is unlikely to take it off for something like that... and i can't think of a reason he would be taking it off...

and i don't wear rings so i don't have the guise of cleaning my own stuff...

any other ideas why a man would take his ring off? he isn't likely to be doing anything mechanical/dirty enough to consider taking his ring off for it.

If you can get him to take his ring off you can measure the internal diameter - that way you can calculate the size (or PM me and I'll calculate it for you)

You can't determine ring sizes any other way than measuring fingers or rings that fit those fingers!


* oops just read your post - he won't take it off.
OK then you are going to have to get some ring sizers and play the little "What size are all of your fingers?" game.

Luckily for me I have a lovely set of metal ring sizers and people love to play with them...

DH takes his off when working on his car. He gets pretty greasy etc. Perhaps something along those lines??? not sure sorry!

hmm maybe i can get my mum on in the conspiracy... tell him she wants my ring size for some hand me down rings or something... and that i want to just try on his ring so i can figure out what size my fingers are...

now to remember which design he wanted... so should have gotten it last year but i didn't have the money back then... *sigh*

Try measuring it with a piece of string when he's asleep. Then measure the string against a ruler.
Good luck!

oh i like your thinking! He sleeps pretty deeply but not deep enough i would be able to get his ring off, but surely deep enough for that...

Countrymel, do you mean that the ring sizer chart things you can find online aren't accurate??

say that you want to take a photo for insurance purposes becuase you know he loves it so much.

or say that a friend wants to get a ring for her hubby but her hubby never takes it off so if you can measure his then you have a rough idea for her
