This proud swan made of white, glazed porcelain gracefully stretches its neck upwards. You can safely entrust it with your rings, which it is designed to hold, as its heavy body stands securely and firmly. But even without neck jewelry, the ring holder cuts a decorative and elegant figure with its unpretentiously simple design. It won't steal the show when your rings are adorned with jewelry, but rather help to put them in the right light.

Linder has been producing the ring holder in this form since the 1950s. Its shape as a swan is no coincidence; on the one hand, its morphology with a long neck predestines it for this function. Secondly, the swan was a popular motif at the time, which has always symbolized elegance and purity, stands for love and transformation and is attributed to the divine. The swan is therefore also a popular motif in art history, and one with an erotic charge: Zeus seduces the beautiful Leda in the form of a swan and Apollo's chariot is pulled by swans. The swan also has a firm place in literature, in fairy tales such as "The Six Swans" by the Brothers Grimm and in Hans Christian Andersen's Ugly Duckling, or in poems by Rilke, Hölderlin and Baudelaire.
