Which ring to give for Christmas? The guide to getting it right

Giving a ring for Christmas is a lovely thrill… and often a little nerve-racking. Which style? Which size? And what if she doesn't like it? Good news: with the mood ring, you're not giving a ring that stays the same, you're giving a ring that evolves. A base, an interchangeable addon that clips in with one simple gesture, and whoever receives it then builds their ring however they feel. Here's our guide to choosing without getting it wrong.

1. Start from their style, not yours

Look at the jewellery she or he already wears. It's the best clue. A few pointers:

• More sparkly and luminous? The 925 silver addons set with zirconia stones, like “Aura Authentique”, our best-selling addon, Shiny Love, or the fine stone-set mood ring, delivered as a complete set.
• In love with Switzerland and the mountains? The Poya ring, the Edelweiss ring or the Matterhorn ring, engraved in relief.
• Minimalist and understated? A polished steel base and a slim addon, or the minis to stack.
• All in black? The Black Obsession gift box and its black essentials.
• Colourful and joyful? The set aluminium addons, in a palette of colours to mix.

The secret of mood is that you don't need to get it right first time: she can change her addon to suit her outfit, her mood or the season. We call it her “compo”.

2. Find her size… without raising suspicion

It's THE question everyone gets stuck on. Several solutions, from the most discreet to the most precise:

• Borrow a ring she wears (from the right finger!) and compare it with our ring size conversion chart.
• Follow our guide to measuring a ring size, step by step.
• Order the free MULTISIZER ring sizer, or the card for measuring her finger.
• Drop by one of our shops: our teams in Orbe, Fribourg, Zermatt, Zurich, Carouge and Martigny will be happy to advise you.

3. Pick a budget, there's an idea for each

• From CHF 55: the steel minis, the little extra that slips under the tree (or into a St Nicholas shoe).
• From CHF 77: the titanium addons, crumpled or clawgrunge, in blue, bronze or gradient.
• CHF 79: the Boîte à Bijoux Voyage travel jewellery box, to take her collection everywhere.
• CHF 199: the “Aura Authentique” addon in set 925 silver, for the one who already has her base.
• A complete ring: our gift boxes bring together a base and its addons, ready to give. Discover them in our selection of gift ideas.

4. She already has a mood ring? Give her the addon she's missing

It's the gift Mood Lovers love most: a new addon to clip onto the base she already wears. You just need to know her ring size. And careful, it's contagious: here, we call it “a youthful indiscretion”… that little weakness for one more addon.

5. And for him?

The mood ring is just as good on a man: a steel base, sober and graphic addons in titanium or black steel. A solid ring he'll genuinely wear every day.

6. Why a mood ring is a gift that lasts

• A Swiss concept, since 2004, created in Orbe, in the canton of Vaud.
• The mood click: the ring opens and you change the addon in one gesture.
• A lifetime guarantee on every ring.
• More than 75,000 customers have already adopted their mood ring.

7. Mind the timing

To have your gift in time, order early. For the pieces in our gift selection, allow 2 to 3 weeks for delivery, subject to stock availability. And if you're in a hurry, our 6 shops are ready to welcome you.

Questions we're often asked

Which ring should I give for Christmas if I don't know her taste?
An interchangeable ring is the safest choice: she'll pick her addons herself afterwards. A gift box with a base and several addons gives her the choice from day one.

How can I find out her ring size secretly?
Borrow a ring she wears and compare it with a size chart, or use a ring sizer. If in doubt, ask for advice in one of our shops.

Is a mood ring for women or for men?
Both. The steel bases and the sober addons in titanium or black steel appeal to men just as much as to women.
