But if your girlfriend is the traditional type and wants to be surprised then you have some thorough research work ahead of you.
Firstly take a close look at her general style and the type of jewelry she wears. Solitaire is a classic choice or a simple diamond band with a brilliant-cut center stone is another no-brainer. If you notice she prefers geometric patterns in her jewelry and clothing such as rectangular or squared shapes she may love the crisp lines of a princess or emerald cut stone.

I like this one from Etsy. You can sneak a ring from her jewelry box, even one she wears on her middle or index finger to gauge her approximate size. The ring finger would then be one size down from this one. So if her middle finger ring measures as a size 7 then a size 6 for her ring finger is a safe bet. Many people find that a variance of a half size or less will still fit comfortably most of the time.
I have a family heirloom I want to incorporate Your first option is to give the ring as it is and explain its family story during your proposal.

For example, a jeweler can melt the ring into the diamond setting of her dreams- then the gold or platinum in the ring still holds sentimental value and a tie to the original family heirloom.
If she likes the design of the ring but not the stones, a jeweler may be able to swap out the stones for diamonds or sapphires or anything else she may prefer. This way your family history and her taste are fused together to form her dream ring.
