Rapperswil-Jona and the Upper Lake
Across the lake from central Zürich, Rapperswil's old town runs its own small cluster of family jewellers and goldsmith ateliers, several fourth-generation, plus a shop inside the Seedamm Center in neighbouring Pfäffikon SZ. It's roughly 35 minutes from Zürich HB by train, an easy day trip rather than a special errand, and a genuine alternative for a couple who wants a smaller-town shopping experience over a city-centre one. We rank by years in business and how explicit the bridal-ring offer is; several real, active ateliers here don't spell it out on their own sites, so we say so plainly rather than guess.
