Lucerne, 45 minutes by train
Engagement rings for couples from Lucerne
For couples from Lucerne, the road to an honest engagement ring is almost a classic day trip: 45 minutes by train to Zurich, plus ten minutes by tram into District 4, and you're sitting at our table instead of standing in front of a display case. We show you diamonds in daylight, with a loupe and certificate, not as a photo on a screen.
émin designs and delivers bespoke engagement rings, every stone certified, every price broken down openly. For couples from Lucerne, the visit combines well with a stroll through central Zurich, but the heart of the day stays the hour at the table where your ring takes shape.
Why the trip from Lucerne is worth it
Almost like a trip to the other shore
A 45-minute train ride is already familiar to many people from Lucerne. A morning in Zurich that ends with a real ring is time well spent.
Direct comparison in person
Instead of separate photos, you see several stones side by side, under the same loupe, in the same light. You decide with a real comparison, not a guess.
Broken down honestly, nothing hidden
Stone, setting and work are laid out separately before you decide. No artificially inflated starting price meant to be generously negotiated down.
How to get from Lucerne to the atelier
The route from Lucerne to Zurich District 4 is easy to plan by train, even for half a day.
By train

By car
Coming via the motorway, Parkhaus Hardau usually has free spaces during the day, just a few steps from the atelier.
Total time
Plan on around 60 minutes door to table from Lucerne, a good morning is enough for the whole appointment.

When a day trip doesn't fit right now: video consultations
Even though the trip from Lucerne is pleasantly short, not every week has room for a day out. That's why we offer a video consultation that covers just as much ground: we show you stones on camera, share certificates on screen, and take our time with every question before you even set off.
You don't need to travel just to get your ring size measured either. We post a small ring-sizing kit to your address in Lucerne, so you can measure yourself at home. That leaves only one appointment in Zurich, for final details or straight to the handover.

More for couples from Lucerne
For a proposal or wedding around Lucerne
Many couples from Lucerne plan their proposal at places known well beyond the region. Château Gütsch, with its view over the city and the lake, is one, along with Bürgenstock Resort high above Lake Lucerne, a popular spot for extraordinary wedding photos. Wherever your moment happens, the ring for it is made here in Zurich.
Most couples from the city hold their civil ceremony through the Standesamt Luzern. Tell us the date once you know it, and we'll plan the consultation, the making and the handover so the ring is ready in time.
