Understanding MM Sizes: A Guide to Actual Size Charts

When it comes to buying jewelry, particularly engagement rings, one of the most important factors to consider is the size chart. In this article, we'll delve into the world of mm sizes and explore how to find your partner's actual ring size using various methods.

At Goldsmiths, we understand that finding the perfect fit can be a daunting task, especially when trying to keep it a surprise. That's why we've put together some expert tips on how to measure your partner's ring size without giving away the surprise.

Why Size Matters

A ring that fits perfectly is not only more comfortable but also more aesthetically pleasing. When a ring is too large or too small, it can detract from its overall appearance and even cause discomfort. That's why it's essential to get your partner's actual ring size before making a purchase.

Methods for Finding Your Partner's Ring Size

There are several methods you can use to find your partner's ring size, from the simple to the more complex. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

1. Borrow a Ring: One of the simplest ways to find your partner's ring size is to 'borrow' a ring they already wear. This method provides an accurate measurement and can be done discreetly.

2. Measure at Night: If you're concerned about your partner noticing, try measuring their ring size at night while they're sleeping. You can use our downloadable Ring Size Guide or create your own template using a piece of paper.

3. Ask for Help: Enlist the help of your partner's friends and family members who may have access to their jewelry collection. They can provide valuable insight into their partner's ring size without arousing suspicion.

4. Visit Our Showroom: If you're still unsure, visit one of our UK stores where our experts will be happy to help you find the perfect fit.

Tips for Secretly Obtaining Your Partner's Ring Size

3. Keep it Confidential: Make sure anyone you enlist for help understands the importance of keeping the surprise under wraps.
