The Ideal Engagement Ring

After you figured out what kind of jewelry she likes, measure her fourth finger with a measuring tape or string so you get the exact measurement. To be a teensy more inconspicuous than that, you might want to “borrow” one of her rings for a day or two, take it to a jewelry store, have them fit the engagement ring using her other ring and then place it back before she realizes something is missing.

The size of the ring remains totally up to you and what you think your girlfriend would like. As I mentioned before, if her hands are small and delicate, a smaller diamond might look nice on her finger, but you could always go with a bigger diamond if you wanted to. If she has large hands, a smaller diamond would probably make her hand look larger, so it is advised that you go with a bigger diamond.
