If you canget her on an IV drip just slip some of that propofol shit that MJ was taking in there and she'll be out plenty long enough for youto measure the digit.

i had my old lady's mother tell her she was inheriting her grandmas ring, that she wanted to have it sized. used one of those ring measuring things.

You're suppose to find out on the first date.

I went through the same thing and I eventually took the advice of a jeweler who said, "Anyone you pay $4000 for a ring from will resize the ring for you for free."
Pick the ring and just get it resized if it doesn't fit. I think the average women's ring size is between a 6 and 7.

yeah, its tough to get her ring size without giving away your plan. Does she have a sister or best friend you can ask? if they don't know, maybe they can find out without making it seem obvious.
I was in the same situation when I was getting ready to propose. I wasn't very subtle. I was more like 'hey, whats your ring size?' We had already been talking about getting married in the past so I didn't exactly ruin the surprise.
the real surprise will be the ring you choose. I worked with a friend of mine who is a jewelry designer and came up with an original design that had significance to my wife, so while I didn't surprise her about getting a ring, I did surprise her with what the ring looked like.
good luck

She rarely wears them, but surely has some? Gauge those ones. This is what I did.
Unless wrong size is the reason she doesn't wear any :D

get the sizing right. don't "go back after the fact"

Hold her hand, and casually look at her fingers and try to see which of your fingers matches her ring finger. Use that as a template, and go the to ring store. Get a size a little bigger, and then resize later. Don't be obvious about it. If it's easy to read your face, don't do this. Set sail for fail. It has to a be a SUPRISE. That's a must.

I tried proposing with a cock ring once. She said no.

Wait till she's dwuuuunk and passed out. Roll a bit of Blu-Tack or Play-Doh into a snake, then roll round her finger ... temporary ring!

just measure it with a string while she's sleeping. then measure the string. then measure your peepee just for fun.

- turn in your man card if the former measurement is bigger than the lattermonospaced

in the middle of the night while she's sleeping gently saw off her finger, take it to a wait, wait a minute what am i thinking... i should have said a hand saw just so we're clear. do NOT use a power saw as this may wake her. you don't want to make the same mistake i did. and whatever you do DON'T wear a hockey mask while doing it even if it is the playoffs and your favorite team is in the running. I did it during the Blackhawks run 4 years ago and it didn't end well.
Honestly, there's no easy way. if you ask one of her friends for help or her mother you'll run the risk of them spilling the beans. what i ended up doing was one day while walking around the mall together i acted like i wanted to try out some rings because i was thinking about getting one for my index finger. so i started to try some on with the help of the jeweler. after some time so did my girl. i took notice on which ones fit and which ones didn't and went back the next day by myself and asked them what the size was of the one that fit.
a buddy of mine got lucky with his. his girl went with her friend who just got engaged ring shopping. he asked what stores they were going to (casually) and that was that. the next day he want to the stores and described the girl who had been there the day before and asked if she had mentioned one that she liked. she in fact did and they knew her size from the rings she was trying on. he bought the ring she fell in love with and she wasn't even expecting it.

just ask the last guy who proposed to her

Congrats matey! I had to buy a 'token' ring to propose with and then we went shopping together for the actual ring.
Not ideal, but it was one way of not spending a small fortune on the wrong size/style ring.
Just my two pence :-)
Good luck!
