What Is A German Birthday Ring?

A birthday ring is a German birthday tradition. It represents a symbolic way to celebrate the annversary of a child's birth, celebrating each year of their life so far. A birthday ring consists of a wooden circle with holes (candlesticks) that represent each year of life so far. This forms a simple and beautiful way to bring the focus onto the child and not towards presents or parties.

An Authentic Product From The Erzgebirge

Traditional German Christmas crafts originated in the Ore Mountains, otherwise known as the Erzgebirge in Germany, more than 200 years ago. The picturesque town of Seiffen is world famous for its toy making, and is known as ‘Christmas ornament town’. It was in this region that Erzgebirge mountain folk art originated in the 1700s, with designs including Christmas pyramids (weihnachtspyramide), nutcrackers (Nussknacker), wooden smoking men (räuchermann), wooden figurines and candle arches (schwibbogen), all of which are well loved European Christmas decorations today. The Erzgebirge region is so devoted to Christmas decorations that it is known as the ‘Home of Christmas’.  By purchasing an item that has been crafted in the Erzgebirge, you are supporting a region that honors its heritage and values.
