Planning a surprise proposal with a lab-grown diamond engagement ring means finding the ring size without asking, and there are quiet ways to do it.
Written for the first-ring path on our engagement page.
Start with a ring they already wear
Borrow a ring they already wear on that finger, or have a friend or family member borrow it for you. Take it to a jeweler for its size, or measure it with our size guide.
Other quiet ways to get a number
- Ask a parent, sibling or close friend who may remember a size, without giving the reason away.
- Check receipts or care cards from an earlier ring; they may carry the size.
- Trace the inside edge of a borrowed ring on paper, then convert it with the size guide.
Write down the number and where it came from. If two methods disagree, keep both numbers and tell us both.
If you still do not know the size
The request form has a path for an unknown size. Pick it and tell us what you have found.
If you can narrow it to two sizes, say so in your request.
What to put in your request
- The size, or the two sizes you are choosing between.
- How you got the number, such as a borrowed ring or a past fitting.
- How sure you are about it, in your own words.
- Your date, if you have one.
If the ring is a surprise, use an email address that only you read, so the conversation stays between you and us.
Resizing as a backstop
Resizing terms: see our Return policy.
Resizing is a safety net, not a plan: settle the size before you order. Full eternity bands (lab-grown diamonds all the way round) cannot be resized.
Leave time before the date
Sourcing, design and the build each have their own stated time; see our timeline guide. If your date is fixed, work backward: the size comes first, then the lab-grown diamond, the design and the build.
Where to go next
When you have a size, or two candidates, start on the engagement ring path or open the size guide for the measuring steps.
