Winterthur, 25 minutes by train
Engagement rings for couples from Winterthur
For couples from Winterthur, the road to an honest engagement ring is shorter than you'd think. The train gets you to Zurich main station in about 25 minutes, and from there a tram brings you to our door in District 4 in roughly ten more. No other city on this page is closer, yet the trip is worth it just the same: a ring nobody else will ever wear, and advice that actually takes its time.
émin isn't a shop with a display case, it's a table where we decide together what your ring should look like. We show you diamonds in daylight, explain exactly what you're paying for, and break the price down openly. Couples from Winterthur often combine the trip with a stroll through central Zurich, but the one thing that matters is the conversation at our table.

The shortest journey of all
Of every city on this page, Winterthur sits closest to the atelier. A morning trip to Zurich District 4 fits easily into a normal day, no overnight stay needed.
Stones you actually see
A photo on a screen never shows how a diamond catches the light. With us you see the stone under a loupe, next to other sizes and qualities, before you decide.
Honest prices, no haggling theatre
We break down stone, setting and work separately, with no inflated starting price meant to be generously negotiated down. What you see is what you pay.

When the trip doesn't fit right now: video consultations
Not every week has room for a trip to Zurich, even a short one from Winterthur. That's why we offer a video consultation that covers the same ground as an in-person appointment: we show you stones on camera, share certificates on screen, and take our time with every question.
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 Winterthur, so you can measure yourself at home in a few minutes. That way the only in-person visit left is the handover of your finished ring in Zurich.
