Choose the right ring in time for Christmas
Once the preparations are complete, it’s time to find the right model at the antique jewellery dealer. Giving a ring for Christmas always means choosing a perfectly fitting piece of jewellery for the person you are giving it to – and not choosing a model that only you will like in the first place.
You should orientate yourself on the taste of the person wearing the ring: If the person likes to wear extravagant pieces of jewellery, it is also advisable to choose an eye-catching model for the ring. If, on the other hand, the person wears rather plain jewellery or no jewellery at all, you should choose a more discreet model. Our suggestions: For example, a simple platinum ring, a memorial ring for men, a rose gold ring, a diamond ring or a classic engagement ring with sapphire.
Our antique jewelry offers charming rings for women and men’s rings for every occasion – it feels like giving jewelry of kings and queens.

With this drawing you can then go to the antique jewelry dealer, they will know the appropriate ring size based on the inside diameter.
