Happy Stories From our customers

There are many techniques to find out your love’s ring size without her knowing. Of course, that’s if you’re planning on a surprise engagement. Many couples are embracing the practicality of making engagement decisions together, including choosing the ring.

But let us not rain on the parade of a surprise engagement! Our friends at Brilliant Earth have several tried and true methods that don’t let the cat out of the bag!

We especially like the following suggestions:

BORROW ONE OF HER RINGS

Another method is to snag one of her old rings for a day. You need to be careful with this method because it might backfire on you! Make sure that you grab a ring that she wears on a similarly sized finger, the ring finger of her right hand being the optimal choice (unless, of course, she wears a ring on her left ring finger, which is less likely). Even if you bring in a thumb ring we can usually come up with a close approximation of what size her ring finger will be. If you choose this option, make sure that you choose a ring that isn’t overly important to her and wouldn’t cause any emotional distress if she notices it missing!

ENLIST A FRIEND

If one of your partner’s friends is engaged, ask her friend to let your girlfriend try on the ring. This will put you in a ballpark size range to start out with. You can also use this as an opportunity to ask what she thought of her friend’s ring (in private) and try to do a little sleuthing as to what style of ring she would like for herself.

Whatever technique you employ, take some time to get it right. A well-fitted engagement ring says almost as much about your choice as the ring itself.

If you think about it, jewelry makes for the perfect safety device. You wear it on your person throughout the day, you can get to it at a second’s notice and it looks fashionable the whole time its keeping you safe.

We know firsthand the power of gems. Each and every gem possesses its own strengths and wonders and after years of working intimately with them, we’ve come to respect them all.

According to New Age experts, “Wearing gemstone bracelets allows the gems to make constant contact with your skin, infusing your aura and energy field with the vibration of each stone all the time.”

If you’re looking for a “power piece” of jewelry, tell us what kind of gem or crystal speaks to you and how you’d like it transformed into magical and fashionable talisman.

Crystals possess their own special powers. Here are some practical crystal wearing tips, according to Sage Goddess:

• Change your crystals each day, if you feel called to do so.
• Choose the stones you wear based on your intention for the day.
• Perhaps you will intuitively select yours without consciously knowing why, and often later in the day, you will have an “aha” moment about why your intuition told you to wear that fluorite pendant or garnet bracelet.
• Align your accessories with the current work you are doing, or the areas in which you feel you need assistance.
