DD21 boyfriend wants to know her ring size

Hi everyone DD birthday coming up next month and her BF has asked me for her ring size but as I don’t know I said I would let him know. However I have looked to see if she has any rings but I couldn’t find any. So is there a way I can ask her in a indirect way for her ring size 🤔

Has he asked for a specific finger 😍

Tell her you’re considering getting her (and her sister(s) if she has any?) and you a special family ring set for Christmas and you need to know her size? Then she’s expecting a ring but not the obvious one. Or grandma wants to get her a piece of jewelry but you don’t know exactly what type she’s planning, so could she tell you her ring size/bracelet size/etc?

My mum got us rings for a birthday with our birthstones one year so it’s not wildly out of the realm of possibility.

If it’s an engagement ring you might need to know a few fingers which could be tricky. Most rings can be sized after the fact though so just general idea would be helpful.

Yes like a pp matching rings as a cutesy thing. Or if you have any family
hairloom rings and other jewellery preferably have a let’s have a look at granny’s stuff and see what she tries on.

Engineer a situation where she tries yours on and see if you can figure it out from that?

You just get her to try on some of yours make a mental note of whether too big/small and then make an educated guess. They can get it changed or resized for sure anyway let's face it this probably happens all the time
