Buying an engagement ring: 1. The right ring size for engagement rings
Engagement rings that do not fit do not make anyone very happy. The best way to find out which ring size the adored person wears is to use her jewelry box discreetly. Is there a ring or rings that your girlfriend wears on her left ring finger as often as possible? Then let the jeweler measure it. Alternatively, you can also determine the ring size yourself using a ring size meter (for example, it is available cheaply from Amazon ). If the engagement ring does not fit in the end: Most jewelers change engagement rings for free.
