I'm taking my girlfriend to Las Vegas as a surprise for her birthday but also want to propose when we are there. How do I find out her ring size and do I buy the ring before we go or do I get one out there together?

Oh no, you have to chose it yourself! It's part of the whole "proposing" thing in my opinion, and shows you have made a huge effort!. Can you maybe try to get hold of one of her rings that she never wears, and get the size that way? Also, make sure you do your research and ask her best friend, family...etc...what style she would like best, as long as you don't mind them knowing and they won't spill the beans! If in doubt, go for a "classic" cut, something timeless, yet elegant.
Congratulations!!!

to find out your girlfriends ring size, admire a ring she is wearing on her right wedding ring finger. Put it on your little finger and mark the spot with your thumbnail till you can find a pen. Go to the jeweller, he has a tool for measuring ring sizes, show him your mark and you then have the size.
well done you. i would definatly not go with the previously mentioned eternity ring (sorry) thats for a year down the line on your first anniversary!!
i would definalt go for a solitaire diamond maybe a princess or brilliant cut you cant go wrong with either of those and should get a good sparkler for �1000 !
as far as size goes it not really possible to guess accuratly unless your girlfriend wears rings already.
i would go by whether she has a slight or heavier build and ask the jeweller for the average.
ask someone who seems about the same stature as her to give you a measurement maybe a friend or sister.
as someone has already said you can have it altered quite easily so im sure she will be thrilled what ever size it is.
if all else fails go for an M OR N as long as she hasnt got huge hands this should be ok till you can get it adjusted.
good luck and i hope you will be very happy together.

Less is more as they say. Choose something simple and elegant. A single diamond (any shape) on a platinum band would be gorgeous or my favourite would be an oblong emerald with a diamond either side. My other halfs eyes are green! Whatever you do don't go for some huge naff sparkler made up of loads of small diamonds! I wish he was half as romantic as you, best of luck. Let us know how it goes.
