Find Her Ring Size Without Her Knowing

Do you need to know your girlfriends ring size without giving the surprise away? Don’t worry there are lots of ways you can find out her ring size without her knowing. One of the best ways is to ask, not her of course, but one of her friends or family. Women often try on each others rings or have rings past down the family tree, use his information to get a sizing. A word of warning using this method, if you’re buying an engagement ring make sure you can trust the friend with the big secret!

Another way of getting the sizing which is great fun is to steal one of your girlfriends rings! Make sure you don’t get caught or you will probably be dumped before you get a chance to explain, and replace the ring afterwards. Just borrow the ring for a few hours and nip down to a local jewelry shop and have them size the ring. This method only works if you can get easy access to one of her rings without her knowing. Remember a pinky ring isn’t going to give you a sizing for her engagement ring finger! Use common sense.

If you can’t get hold of one of her rings for enough time to take it to a jewelry shop then just use a bar of soap to make an impression of it! or place the ring on a piece of paper and trace a circle around the inside of the ring. This method should be good enough to get a basic sizing, then you can have the ring adjusted at a later date.

Engagement Rings

Engagement rings can very dramatically depending on your budget, the internet has recently revolutionized the way people buy Engagement rings. High street jewellers are often vastly overpriced compared to online jewellery shops. Which means if you buy online you can get a lot more bling for your budget!

An Engagement ring is always a comprise between diamond size, quality, style and price. You can trade quality for size or have it all at a price! It’s well worth remembering that very few people can tell the difference between a flawless diamond and a slightly imperfect one with the naked eye. In fact you’re unlike to ever come across a completely flawless diamond, the nearest you will get is a VVS (which stands for Very Very Slightly Included) and is about the most perfect diamond you will find on the open market. You can also get VVS2 which will be somewhat less expensive but no less stunning.

I have put together a selection of very different Engagement rings, from many different online retailers. You can see the difference in price as you go up in quality and size.

Temporary Engagement Ring

For a man, popping the big question can be a terrifying experience along with the fear of rejection there’s also the problem of buying the Engagement ring. If the proposal is a surprise then the man must pick the ring without any help from the bride to be. Let’s be honest, most women wouldn’t trust their men to pick out a pair of shoes for them let alone a piece of jewelry that they will wear everyday for the rest of there life’s!

normally women are happy to get any kind of diamond ring at anytime! but spare a thought for the bride to be who has to fain joy at a hideous engagement ring. Secretly most women know what type of ring they’d like and they may even have dropped a few hints to the groom to be. But men often miss these subtle hints and often confuse what they like with what there girlfriend actually wants!

Why not play it safe and propose with a temporary engagement ring, you can buy a cubic zirconia ring that looks the part or buy a novelty ring (you both need to have a good sense of humor for novelty ring) then together you can choose the real diamond ring later on. This way you’ll be sure that the bride to be gets the ring she really wants.

Wedding Rings

Wedding rings can very dramatically depending on the where you buy them, the quality of the metal that you choose, whether you decide on a matching set or buy them individually and whether or not you opt for plain bands or diamond encrusted ones!

I have put together a selection of very different wedding bands, from the plain and simple to the unusual and ornate, but for the full range just browse through the wedding rings section in our store.

Eternity Rings

Eternity rings are given to loved ones for any one of a number of reasons including an anniversary, to mark the birth a child, renewal of vows, or even to mark an another occasion but it’s generally a romantic gesture that women REALLY appreciate!

When looking for the perfect eternity ring you need to consider that bigger and blingier is not always best. The eternity ring should compliment the existing engagement and wedding ring as they are all generally worn on the same finger so I’ve selected a number of different types of eternity rings so that you can get a better idea of what’s out there – both style and price-wise.

How about this selection of platinum eternity rings…

Or these in yellow gold…

Choosing the Clarity

Clarity indicates how “clean” the diamond is, or how many inclusions such as scratches, trace minerals or other tiny characteristics, that the diamond has. Inclusions are important to consider because they can detract from the pure beauty of a diamond. Rule of thumb is that the better the clarity, the more expensive the diamond. There is also a handy guide that you can use to determine the level of clarity in the diamond that you are choosing.

FL, IF Flawless, Internally Flawless: No internal or external flaws. Internally Flawless: No internal flaws. Very rare and beautiful diamonds.
VVS1, VVS2 Very, Very Slightly Included: Very difficult to see inclusions under 10x magnification. An excellent quality diamond.
VS1, VS2 Very Slightly Included: Inclusions are not typically visible to the unaided eye. Less expensive than the VVS1 or VVS2 grades.
SI1, SI2 Slightly Included: Inclusions are visible under 10x magnification, and may be visible with the unaided eye. A good diamond value.
I1, I2, I3 Included: I1 diamonds often are seen to the unaided eye, I2 inclusions are easily seen, while I3 diamonds have large and extremely easy to see inclusions.

Choosing the Cut

The cut of a diamond determines its brilliance. There is no single measurement of a diamond that defines its cut, but rather a collection of measurements and observations that determine the relationship between a diamond’s light performance, dimensions and finish. While there are many factors to bear in mind when choosing a diamond, diamond cut is probably the most important to consider, as it has a direct correlation to a diamond’s appearance. A diamond with Ideal/Excellent cut grade proportions will return the maximum amount of light to the viewer’s eye, the diamond will appear more brilliant and beautiful as a result.

People often mix up the difference between the ‘Cut’ of a diamond and the ‘Shape’ of a diamond. Diamond shape, by contrast, refers to the shape into which the diamond is cut. When diamond cutters receive rough, uncut diamonds, they typically assess the natural shape of the diamond and determine which shape to cut the diamond into. The most common diamond shape is a round brilliant diamond. Princess, Emerald, and Asscher cut diamonds are other popular shapes.
