Kreis 7 to 12: Zürich's Outer Neighbourhoods

From Seefeld's lakeside streets to Oerlikon, Affoltern, Altstetten and Höngg, the outer city holds a real spread of goldsmiths and jewellers most visitors never find on a Bahnhofstrasse walk. Several run their own workshop behind the shop counter and have served one neighbourhood for generations; a few are branded wedding-ring corners inside a bigger watch and jewellery business. This is the tier for a couple who lives or works outside the centre and wants a local option rather than a special trip into town. We rank by how established each business is in its own district and how explicit its bridal-ring offer actually is.
