How to accurately measure the size of an engagement ring? A must-read guide to marriage proposals in Hong Kong

When planning a marriage proposal in Hong Kong, choosing the perfect engagement ring is an exciting process, but how to accurately measure your girlfriend's finger without ruining the surprise is often the biggest challenge men face. ANTONELLI provides you with some simple and effective methods to help you easily choose a diamond or cultured diamond ring that suits your finger size and ensure that everything will be perfect on the day of your proposal.

Observe and compare fingers with your eyes

One of the simplest and most secret ways is to observe the middle finger of your girlfriend's left hand with your eyes and compare it with your own finger. You can try to find the part of your finger that is closest to her middle finger, and then ask the jewelry store staff to help measure this location to estimate the ring size.

*** Important tip: If your girlfriend's fingers have wider phalanges, be sure to use the widest part of the phalanges as a reference when observing to ensure that the ring can be worn smoothly to the bottom of the finger.

Pre-order a larger size to account for measurement errors

After all, there may be some errors when observing with the naked eye, so it is recommended to choose a ring that is slightly larger than the estimated size to ensure that it can be worn smoothly when proposing. Many jewelry stores, including ANTONELLI, offer one free resizing service. If the ring size is not suitable after the proposal, you can go to the store with your fiancée to have it accurately measured and modified, which usually takes only about a week to complete.

Measurement methods not recommended

Although some people suggest measuring your partner's finger with a piece of string or paper while they sleep, this method is not recommended. First, this may easily wake up your girlfriend; second, the tightness of the rope or paper strip is difficult to control, and the measurement results usually have large errors, which may even affect the sense of surprise.

Measuring with an existing ring

If your girlfriend is in the habit of wearing a ring, you can secretly take her ring to a jewelry store to measure it. But be careful about which finger the ring is worn on, as the sizes of different fingers vary. If you are unsure, it is recommended to observe first or seek professional advice.

Regional differences in ring sizes

When buying a ring in Hong Kong, be aware of regional differences in sizing standards. For example, the sizes commonly used in Hong Kong are different from the Japanese standards. For example, Hong Kong 13 is approximately equal to Japanese 11. Therefore, it is important to confirm the correct size when choosing a ring.
