Ladies Ring Finger

[Dangerous Dave]

How do you measure a ring finger without her knowing, bear in mind she is a light sleeper, and how do you measure it?

[missyburd]

does she already wear a ring on that finger? If she ever takes it off find out where she puts it and measure that?

[Lozzo]

Get one of her best mates to find out when they go shopping. That's what I did with my ex. Girls are always up for a bit of devious romance.

[Gene genie]

go to the jewellers and choose a ring and then pick a lady who looks the same size as your girlfriend and play at trying it on lots of ladies in the shop, they love trying wedding rings on, very romantic.
you'll probably get the wrong size but at least you would've enjoyed yourself.

[TazDaz]

A light dose of rohypnol? :)

[Dappa D]

get some of those measuring rings that jewellers use.....a good jewellers will send u a set of them (if they think ur buying from them)..get her rat arsed so she passes out...and see which one fits?

is this for the left hand?? good luck if it is!! :-)

remember that some women have different size ring fingers on each hand, they are not nessesarily the same size

[chasey]

When she is asleep cut the finger off and when she wakes just be like "WTF happened there?!"

Good luck Dave :D

[Bibio]

tell her you are getting some hand made gloves for her as its winter ... but you need to take all the sizes of each finger and palm/hand etc.etc ...

if she says i dont want them ... say but darling your poor wee hand in this weather.. and besides someone on the forum makes them and they are giving a really good discount...

[chasey]

Could you just not buy the ring and then get it altered afterwards?

[Gene genie]

bought my wife a replacement wedding band a few years back. gave her the money, she went to the jewellers by herself, she chose it and bought it.
and they say romance is dead.:-D

I had my wedding ring refashioned into a charm for my ex-wife's charm bracelet. It's in the shape of a small clenched fist with the middle finger extended.

Apparently she wasn't very happy when she discovered what the gift had been made from.

what a legend!:p

[Lou M]

OOOh, someone planning on popping the question!!!!

Get her friend involved, my friend has just done this, took the other friend shopping, went to jewelers (how do you spell it?), to get supposed ring for self and said to friend, go on see what size you are, I'm sure you're smaller than me! She fell for it.
Sorted!

[etuna]

does she not wear a ring on the same finger on her other hand or is that too obvious? Presumably that finger must be pretty much the same size

[Dappa D]

my mrs' are different sizes, gotta be awkward havnt they!!! lol

[Davido]

Just buy her a kettle. She'll like it lots more.

[missyburd]

You single by any chance? :lol: :p

[Lozzo]

You single by any chance? :lol: :p

He's got a good point though, a kettle is far more practical than a silly ring.

[missyburd]

He's got a good point though, a kettle is far more practical than a silly ring.

Aye but not as permanent. Not a very good symbol of a relationship should it break or just stop working. A ring however is solid, secure - as in shouldn't be taken off - and will therefore mean considerably more to the lady in question. You don't hear of women getting emotionally attached to kitchenware now do you? Or am I treading on dodgy territory here :lol:

[Lozzo]

My ex-housemate used to scowl at me if I went anywhere near her Le Crouset pans, so I think you may well be on dodgy ground here. Iam fiercely possessive of my kitchen knife set too

[muffles]

A ring however is solid, secure - as in shouldn't be taken off

:confused: There's loads of reasons they need to be taken off, both me and my wife's lol! Showering's not so easy with them on, can't work on the bike/car with it on in case it gets damaged, etc..

[Dangerous Dave]

does she already wear a ring on that finger?
Nope

Get one of her best mates to find out when they go shopping.
Working on that, cheers.

A light dose of rohypnol?
I've ran out, I smear some on the telephone as it helps keep the phone bill down. ;)

is this for the left hand?? good luck if it is!!
Aye it is, me and Becks have been together for over eight years now. We haven't really discussed, or even had it brought up, before about getting married. It will also act as an insurance policy for her following recent events down here, she is not overall happy with my return to work but she is fully supportive.

Ah, I won't wear one other than the day.


Thanks for all the advice.

[kitkat]

good luck with it all. I got my wedding ring and my ex's made into a bangle (with some other broken gold jewellery I had lying about) as a divorce present for me.

[missyburd]

Hmm ok then, just most folks I know keep theirs on. Obviously people do stuff differently nowadays.

[xXBADGERXx]

A set of vernier calipers (warmed to 30 degrees so the cold metal doesn`t wake her up) and measure with a light squeeze over the knuckle of that finger that should be good enough . You can then lock it in place and take it to a Jewellers and offer it up to the required ring :D

[lily]

Drew used the help of my mum with her getting me to try on her rings and see if any fitted me as mum was going on that i never had any jewellery on but a necklace.It was using my right hand as well which turned out to by a ring size up to my left hand. (if that helps)

To answer Miss YC- i only take my engagement ring off to shower, and when i do take it off i can feel it not there and start panicing so have to keep it in my sight lol (it is also as it is a family ring and think i may get in trobule if i lost it)

Aye well that's understandable, its just I was always under the impression engagement/wedding rings were a sort of permanent fixture, a sort of symbolistic bond between you and your partner, maybe I'm just old-fashioned lol.

Obviously in some professions this isn't always possible for practical reasons and a lot of men can't stand jewelery of any sort.

your not old-fashioned i fully understand what you mean i don't like taking it off.

Your not old fashioned Miss YC.

Becks would take her ring off when at work, she is an A&E Nurse and constantly putting on rubber gloves and stuff. I cannot wear jewelry at work on most duties, but thats not to say I won't carry it with me.

[martianskippy]

The advice I was given by my sister and my Mum (for some reason they both want me hitched asap :takeabow:) was to hold my palm up against my girlfriend's when cudling or whatever other romantic reason I can come up with and compare the thickness of our fingers and then get the ring tried on my finger that looked the closest in size.. if that makes any sense...;)

Makes sense, she is (well she will be when she is asked) going shopping on Tuesday with two of her friends. They will let me know....

Don't get me started on kitchen knives... Why do people have those silly glass chopping boards? After 20 minutes they're blunt and you might as well try and cut things with a spoon...

[missyburd]

This thread is soon going to make me paranoid bout anything YC does of his own initiative... #watches as YC turns into a distant speck in the horizon# :lol: LOL

Ha, ha... I was wondering if was gonna get him going with you posting.

Hmm yes, come to mention it I do like rings, can never have too many.... :twisted:

Maybe he meant he is on his way to you with a ring???

[yorkie_chris]

#Sound of an open piped SV being paggered up the road NORTHWARDS on the limiter...#

Corrected.

[missyburd]

Maybe he meant he is on his way to you with a ring???

lmao, cheers Dave, now I've got no chance of snaring him, he's probably in Scotland now :smt040

[rob13]

Just buy a one which you think is pretty close Dave, my better half has tiny fingers so even the shop didnt quite trust me when I said what size she was. In the end I bought it 2 sizes too big and when she got it, we took it to the Jewellers and we got the right size.

[muffles]

Hmm ok then, just most folks I know keep theirs on. Obviously people do stuff differently nowadays.

I wear mine all the time I can, but it's just not possible 100% of the time. Well, not if I'm being reasonable, anyway - I've got a tungsten carbide ring so just about the hardest material (although that doesn't seem to apply to the finish), it applies even more to people with gold or other softer materials.
If I wore mine all the time it'd be beaten up now, from the times I work on the bike - there are other situations too though.

Anyway - wasn't being argumentative, just pointing out it's not that feasible ;)

Obviously unlikely, but some materials (e.g. mine - tungsten carbide) can't be resized. Probably won't apply though, it's only a few materials (maybe only tungsten carbide and titanium?, not sure).

[missyburd]

Hehe, didn't think you were being no worries :D

Get a bag of Hula Hoops Dave and ask her to see how many she can get on her fingers, then see which ones fit! Obviously don't eat them off her fingers as this would defeat the object entirely! ;) :mrgreen:

[Baph]

I'm seriously supprised that this thread hasn't been degraded by the .Org as a collective. Well done all!!

As for the subject, I reckon the best way is the way you're trying to do it Dave, that way, her friends will be able to enjoy it all the more when she tells them that you proposed. :thumbsup:

[xXBADGERXx]

#Sound of an open piped SV being paggered up the road on the limiter...#

Oh I "Muttley" laughed then at the word PAGGERED .

I don`t think I am ever gonna get to slip a ring on the finger of a young Lady :(

[yorkie_chris]

That last sentence is too easy to misread.

[missyburd]

Haha, glad someone else posted that, I'm gonna get that reputation Josh was on about if I'm not careful :smt043

[xXBADGERXx]

Tut , somebody JUST HAD to lower the tone didn`t they :D

[joshmac]

What d'you mean gonna? :confused::p

[joshmac]

One of the reasons I didn't want to post about it.
Would probably end up derailing it in some way :rolleyes:

[Rog]

You could always try this way.

Next time you are having .......happy time, say that you want to experiment if you get my drift. At the point of contact jump and shout "bloody what size is that!!!" she tells you, you get the information and she is none the wiser. :-D

Well it is her Ring finger.





Someone had to, ill get mi coat.

[yorkie_chris]

Lol!!!

PMSL!!








At last someone's lowered the tone of the thread http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb31/joshmac_3/Woo.jpg

[missyburd]

Well it had already been lowered but now its just burrowing underground, dragging us all down with it :rolleyes: :mrgreen:

[Jayneflakes]

Good luck and hope that your cunning plan comes to fruition.

Do let us know how it goes.

Hugs

[northwind]

Have you considered just whacking her with a rubber mallet? Very versatile tools...

[Bibio]

whatever way you get the size m8,,, good luck on the day you pop the question...

[xXBADGERXx]

Well it had already been lowered but now its just burrowing underground, dragging us all down with it :rolleyes: :mrgreen:

I am the Denizen of the underground here , Sho0 , Sho0 , gerroutofit :twisted:

[Viney]

Just buy her a kettle. She'll like it lots more.No No No, Washing machine and a new iron. Tsk! :rolleyes:

Mine was easy. verna has alradey been married, and shes lost wieght as well, so she is always intreauged to see how big her fingers are, so she wanders into Jewelers and gets measured when im there.

[jumjum_0214]

:winner:

you'll probably get the wrong size but at least you would've enjoyed yourself.

[Odin]

Get yourself down to the offy and buy loads of different can of beers. Open then and enjoy and whilst in a state of eternal joy try placing the different ring pulls on her finger. She might even be satisfied with the ring pull, saving you a few bob and you get rat a**** on the beer so its a clear win win scenario.

[thor]

Rings are very easy to resize, so don't worry too hard if it's not quite right.

Over time, fingers change size anyway, so it probably won't be the first time it will get resized.

Good luck!

[Paws]

Hmm well treacle knows mine as hes tried one of my rings on so he has no excuses to get thr wrong size lol ;)

[Tara]

Falc got mine right god knows how but it fit right away.

Good luck with the proposal :D

[melody]

Get her girl friends involved.

If that doesn't work, just get whatever size you think may fit her and have it resized later.

Good luck. :cheers:

[Dangerous Dave]

Thank you for all the good luck wishes, Becks' and her friend Jane will be going shopping tomorrow, I threw in a 'while your out could you get a...' to encourage her.

Jane sounded really excited on the phone, and had a guess of a Size K, is that monster huge?

I'm getting nervous already....

[missyburd]

I'm getting nervous already....
Hehe, that's a good thing :D Good luck with it! I forgot to say that :rolleyes:

[chasey]

Jane sounded really excited on the phone, and had a guess of a Size K, is that monster huge?.

Dunno...here's a ring sizer (:p) though.

http://www.antiquejewelrymall.com/ringsizer.html

Would you say here ring finger is 0.627inches in diamater?

Good luck dude :-D

[Dangerous Dave]

Aha.... a size 'I' which is apparently 47.50mm according to the jeweler, and available.

[yorkie_chris]

Congratu-good luck-lations-whatever the hell is about right to say to a bloke in such a situation anyway... lol

[Dangerous Dave]

Cheers, just need to figure out what to say and where to say it now....

[chasey]

How you going to do it Dave? Going to take her for a nice meal or something?

Edit: Pah! Same time ;)

[Dappa D]

Cheers, just need to figure out what to say and where to say it now....

may i suggest you dont use the reasons you gave to us on here in an earlier post on this thread!! and if u do....add to it that you love her!!! haha;)...good luck mate....

oooo its exciting!!!

[Caddy2000]

Dave, I hope your soon-to-be better half doesn't look at this forum much.....


... Good luck fella, will be doing the same in a few months

[Dangerous Dave]

may i suggest you dont use the reasons you gave to us on here in an earlier post on this thread!! and if u do....add to it that you love her!!! haha;)...good luck mate....
She thinks it will happen everytime I get a page anyway....

I won't mention that bit though, but following what had happened down here with regard to our two guys which came back the other weekend I do not want to put her through that.

I'm not gonna get all slushy but I do love her, she keeps me going and keeps me sane(er), and I would be lost without her.

Dave, I hope your soon-to-be better half doesn't look at this forum much.....
The last time Becks was on here was when I was, in her words "trying to kill yourself", so hopefully she is still unaware.

[Seggons]

If I get the chance I would plan a week on the coast somewhere with a sandy beach for a relaxing break. Just before the sun sets I would take her down to the beach and walk along it till the sun was in the perfect most romantic place. At that point I would spontaneously do the need down thing and go for it.

The whole doing it over dinner thing is soooo last century. ;)

Awww why you still single Seggons? :p

Who would've thought it ay, you would've though a Brad Pitt figure like mine would have women falling to my feet but it just doesn't seem to be working. ;)

[Dangerous Dave]

Does it count if this is what is at the end of our houses garden?

Still none the wiser on how to do it yet, I have the ring though.... :thumleft:

[Seggons]

In that case do something really cheesy like writing in the sand in big letters "Will you marry me" or stick a massive banner up. :lol:

[Lou M]

I'm not gonna get all slushy but I do love her, she keeps me going and keeps me sane(er), and I would be lost without her.



If you use the above words, she just can't refuse you! If any bloke said that to me I'd be over the moon! You certainly brought a tear to my eye.

Good luck, hope her friend has kept quiet!

[muffles]

Top tip: Just make sure you say 'mawwy', as in 'will you mawwy me?' and she won't be able to say no.

[Dangerous Dave]

I will be asking tonight....

[Gazza77]

I will be asking tonight....

Good luck fella

[martianskippy]

I will be asking tonight....

Fingers X-ed mate! :)

[Sean_C]

Good luck Dave. :)

[joshmac]

Good luck :D

[missyburd]

Best of luck mate, you'll make her day ;)

[Becks]

I AM ENGAGED! \\:D/

The silly sod :smt008 took me out for a meal in the restaurant we went to on our first date, we go out for meals every now and again but this one was a real surprise to me. He isn't very good at these things, trust me, but afterwards we went down for a walk along the beach. We used to spend a lot of time walking on the beach when we first met, he told me he loved me (I started to worry for a bit then), he got down on one knee, and showed me the most beautiful ring in the world... YES, YES, YES, what else could a girl say, I will say he took his blooming time in asking.

I was asked to keep you informed as he said there had been a lot of interest on here; unfortunately Dave was paged and dispatched at 3am :makelurve: this morning. Godspeed my love, make sure you come home safely. :salut:

[Becks]

I do love her, she keeps me going and keeps me sane(er), and I would be lost without her.
I feel the same my love, x x x

[Becks]

It will also act as an insurance policy for her following recent events down here, she is not overall happy with my return to work but she is fully supportive.
I understand, what Jill and Sarah must be going through is awful.

[Dappa D]

congrats

:smt008

awwwwww:smt040

[Dappa D]

out of interest how did he get ur ring size in the end??

oh...and an .org ride by salute on the day?? no?? oh well!!

[Sean_C]

Congrats to both of you :)
When's the big day? :p

[krhall]

Congrats.

[joshmac]

:cheers::smt040 WOO!!

Congratulations!

[missyburd]

you'll make her day ;)
Certainly sounds like he did, you sound a happy lady indeed. Many congratulations, I do like a happy ending! :mrgreen:
