For him
A ring that fits your hand and your story
A good men's ring isn't a spin-off from a women's collection, just a size up. At émin in Zurich District 4 we design rings meant for men's hands from the start: wider, sturdier, with a look that fits your everyday life.
Whether a classic signet ring with your initials, an understated pinky ring or a ring set with a single, honestly sourced diamond: we design it to measure, in the gold you want, and tell you upfront exactly what it costs.
Why a custom men's ring
Built for your hand
We measure your ring size and adjust width and shank thickness so the ring fits your hand, not a standard from a catalogue.
Engraving that means something
Initials, a crest, a date or your own symbol: we engrave what matters to you and show you a design to approve first.
Sturdy for everyday wear
A men's ring should still look good years from now. We choose wall thickness and setting so the ring holds up to daily life, not just a photo shoot.
Signet ring, pinky ring, or a ring with a diamond
A signet ring usually carries a smooth or engraved face, classically with initials or a symbol that means something. It sits traditionally on the ring finger and reads anywhere from understated to bold, depending on the size of the face and width of the shank.
The pinky ring, worn on the little finger, is usually narrower and finer, often with a single stone or a plain surface. Both ring types can be combined with a diamond, either set discreetly or as a clear statement. If you're unsure which gold suits your skin tone, we have a dedicated article on that.
Ring types compared
Every shape has its own character. This overview helps you choose.
| Ring type | Look | Material | Everyday wear |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signet ring | Smooth or engraved face, classic | Yellow, white or rose gold | Bold on the ring finger, works well with engraving |
| Pinky ring | Narrow to wide, often with a stone | Gold, sometimes onyx or diamond | Understated on the little finger, everyday wearable |
| Ring with diamond | A single stone, flush or raised setting | Gold, with a lab-grown diamond | Subtle to bold, depending on the setting |
We combine ring type, gold and engraving exactly the way you want.

Frequently asked questions
The signet ring traditionally carries a face for engraving or a crest and usually sits on the ring finger. The pinky ring is worn on the little finger, is often narrower and reads more understated, but can just as easily carry a stone or engraving.
Yes, we're happy to engrave initials, a crest, a date or your own symbol. We discuss font and placement with you and show you a design before the engraving is final.
We measure it most accurately at the atelier in a few minutes. If that's not possible, you can send an existing ring for comparison, or we'll send you a simple guide to measure it yourself.
That depends on your skin tone, your style and how sturdy the ring needs to be for everyday wear. Yellow gold reads classic, white gold understated, rose gold warmer. In conversation we advise you honestly on what fits.
Not necessarily. A flush-set stone, sitting level with the surface, reads subtle and only stands out on closer look. A raised setting is bolder. We show you both options before you decide.
For a custom men's ring we usually plan two to three weeks, depending on engraving and any stones. If you need it for a specific date, tell us right at the start.
In most cases yes. As long as the face or stone doesn't cover the whole shank, the size can usually be adjusted afterwards. We check that in conversation for your specific model.
