British ring sizes follow the alphabet with the British average being a size M. A local jeweller can measure your partner’s finger free of charge.

If you’re planning a surprise proposal, you can discreetly measure a ring your partner wears or even measure their finger whilst they are asleep. Alternatively, you can ask a friend to take her to a jeweller to find out the size.

Even if the measurement is incorrect, most rings can be resized.

Things to think about are:

• Would she prefer dainty or more of a statement look?
• Does she wear a lot of colour and may prefer a ruby over a diamond?
• Will she prefer a modern or classic style?

If you’re still unsure, you can bring in photos of your partner for your consultation and we can decide together – we’re here to help!

With all the thought and effort you have put into getting her an incredible ring showing how much you love her, she won’t!
