She doesn't wear any other rings so that won't work. Her Mom and best friend have no idea what size she wears. I really don't want to tip her off in the slightest bit. I heard about getting it resized but does this damage the look of the ring?

take her and buy a different kind of ring- it can be a cheapo if you want just to get the size around where you need it. you can go be a "Tourist for a day" and make it look spontaneous. She will keep that ring for a while too as a good memory.

Yes, but here are a few tips. Try trying on some rings she already has to get an idea. The other tip is make sure where you get the ring that if they need to resize it, they could do it right then and there and she could wear it home. They make most engagement rings fairly simple, they know most will get resized so it would ruin the the ring. Unless, of course you have some intricate design that goes all over the band. Talk to your jewler and explain that this will probably need to be resized and they could give you the detail on that.

With a good jeweler, resizing does not usually injure the look of the ring.
I would say that you need to talk with the jeweler about the setting you are picking to see if the sizing would be difficult. It might tip you off on a setting not to buy.
Oh, and if you are really off on the size, depending on the uniqueness of your ring you could ask about a return policy. If you are buying a custom made ring though, then you would not be able to return.
Just a note, a size 5 is too small for most women. Mine was 5 1/4 and it was sized from a 6. I would buy a 6-7.

Yes, of course. Rings usually come in a standard size, a 7 I think. She would just get it resized if need be. It doesn't change the look of the ring, although there are very few types of rings which cannot be sized - depending on if there is a design that goes all around the ring, for example.

No it doesnt damage the ring to have it resized. I just had my engagement ring sized up 2 sizes and there is no evidence on the ring that it was changed. If she is a slender woman then you should get probably a size 7. Save the receipt because in many cases you can just have them order one in the size you need if you are worried about resizing. If she is a larger woman buy a size 9.

JUst get her the ring that looks her size. Also resizing the ring doesnt damage the ring. I would know because my mother just recently got married and her ring was i think to small for her but then she got it resized and it didn't cause any damage.

My husband didn't know my ring size, so when he proposed he brought the most common size (7) and suprised me with a proposal. It was a little big, but I got it resized. It doesn't damage the look of the ring.

Yes, you can propose to her without knowing the size of her ring and no resizing it won't damage the look of the ring. Good luck. She'll know you meant well.

If she is a light sleeper, you can take a strip of paper and wrap it around her ring finger and make a mark and get at least a general idea of her size.
Most women are a 6-7.
If it doesn't fit, you can get it resized, NO PROBLEMS and it takes only a few hours, although there is a small charge.

Yes, you can propose without knowing her ring size and NO resizing doesn't affect the ring (in a majority of cases anyway) I've had my rings resized twice with no trouble.
