1. Simply ask her size. This may ruin the surprise, but you can keep the details a surprise like: the ring style, how the proposal will happen, and when the proposal will occur.
2. Take a ring she owns to a jewelry repair shop. There the experts can quickly access her ring size. Make sure the ring you bring is one she wears on her ring finger!
3. Take a piece of string to measure. Now there are two ways to go about this. You can measure the inside diameter of a ring she wears on her ring finger. Or to keep this a surprise, wrap the string around her ring finger to measure while she’s sleeping. To be sure, take that measurement and see if it matches the inside portion of a ring she currently has. Take the measurements, determine the millimeter diameter, and compare it to our sizing chart. Ta-da!
   
   
   
4. Ask a close friend or family member. When in doubt call in reinforcements! Have a close friend ask for her ring size for “friendship rings.” Or a family member work-in her ring size into a conversation. Make sure they keep it a surprise! If anything, most rings and bands can be resized within about two sizes of their original size. With Clarity offers complimentary resizing for engagement rings and wedding bands within 30 days of receipt (with the exception of eternity bands and infinity rings because it will compromise their design).

An engagement ring appraisal is an estimate of a diamond’s worth, and should verify the facts (e.g. quality, materials) about the ring(s) you paid for. It is important to obtain this from a certified gemologist who will use a gemstone or diamond certificate (a paper containing all gemstone specs and grades) to issue an estimate. Remember an appraisal, and a gemstone or diamond certificate are two separate things! At With Clarity we have all appraisals done by an accredited Gem Lab for $60.

We know and understand the high-value of your jewelry purchase. Therefore, we recognize the importance of protecting your precious gems for a lifetime. With Clarity recommends working with a reputable insurer that focuses on jewelry such as Lavalier. Coverage typically costs 1-2% of the value of your jewelry. We recommend having an appraisal done, then calling the insurance provider beforehand for an estimation on coverage and costs. We recommend your insurance includes:

• Protection against loss, theft, and damage
• Worldwide coverage
• If loss, theft, or damage happens you can work with your preferred jeweler to fix or replace it
