Ring Sizes for Women in Nigeria
Just like in other countries, Nigerian women’s ring sizes vary as well.
The US standard ring size system, which employs numbers to denote the size of a ring, is the most widely used ring size measurement system in Nigeria.
A ring’s size is defined by the millimetre-sized circumference of the finger it is intended to be worn on.
It is advised to get your finger professionally measured before buying a ring to ensure the greatest fit because women’s finger sizes vary; some are fat, while others are petite.
This service is free at a few jewellery retailers in Nigeria especially if you are patronising them.

How to Find Out a Woman’s Ring Size Without Her Figuring Out
For surprises, asking her directly about her ring size is not an option.
You could approach your partner’s relatives and friends for assistance because they might be able to help you out a little bit with a piece of advice.
You may even suggest that her friends take her out so they could try different ring sizes and have their finger sizes measured.
There are alternative choices, such as quietly measuring a ring she already wears on her left-hand ring finger when she’s not looking or borrowing it from her.
If all of these do not work out, choose a ring with a flexible band or one that can be adjusted or resized by a jeweller.
In Summary
It’s crucial to remember that the ring sizes mentioned above are only general recommendations and might not apply to everyone.
Age, weight, and changes in hormone levels are a few aspects men have to consider before getting the perfect ring size for the ‘love of their life’.
As was previously noted, choosing the right size can be difficult.
Consider getting her ring measured secretly if you’re unsure of its size so she won’t wonder what’s going on.
You can ask the seller for further information, have it professionally measured, or use an online printable ring sizer.
If you follow these tips, be assured that you can find the perfect ring size for the right person.
