Jewellery photographs well. It feels better. The weight of a ring, the way a hoop moves when you turn your head, how a colour sits against your skin: you only really know when it's on you.
That's why we have a shop. Everything Bocavolcan makes is designed and made by hand in Valencia, and you can come and see the pieces, try them on and ask us anything.
Where and when
Bocavolcan
C. de Cuba 29, Bajo
46006 València
We're in Russafa (Ruzafa in Spanish), in the Eixample district. You'll find us on Google Maps under Bocavolcan.
The shop has step-free access. The nearest metro stations are Bailén and Xàtiva, next to Estació del Nord, and Russafa on line 10, all a short walk away. EMT buses stop on Gran Via de les Germanies, including the Germanies-Cuba stop.
- Monday to Thursday: 11:00 to 14:00 and 18:00 to 20:30
- Friday: 11:00 to 20:30
- Saturday: 11:00 to 14:00
- Sunday: closed
Friday is the easy day to drop by: we don't close for lunch.
What to try on
We keep rings of every kind on display to try on, along with pieces from the collections you know online: the Origen hoops, one for each day of the week, the volcanic rings and pendants of Erupción, the stones of Kerid and our signet rings.
Most pieces are made to order, so not every size and finish is always on display. If you're coming for one piece in particular, write to hola@bocavolcan.com before your visit and we'll tell you what we have.
What people usually come to settle comes down to fit. Which hoop size works with your face. Whether a wide signet suits your hand or a slim one does. Which ring size you actually are, which is rarely the one you think. A few minutes with the pieces on answers all three. And if a ring you already own no longer fits, bring it in: we can resize rings in the shop.
Silver, gold-plated or solid gold
This is where seeing things in person helps most. Most pieces come in 925 silver or gold-plated silver, and a few in solid gold. The solid gold rings in Icons in Gold are made in 9K, 14K or 18K, yellow or white. Side by side, the differences in colour and warmth are easy to see, and easier still against your own skin.
Ask us about care while you're here, or read Cleaning & Aftercare before you come.
Before you come
- Bring a ring that fits. If you're buying a ring as a gift, a ring the person already wears is the best reference you can bring.
- Know what you'd engrave. An initial, a date, a word. It helps you choose between a round, square, oval or rectangular signet face.
- Thinking of a bespoke piece? Bring a photo, a sketch or a stone you already own. More on bespoke.
Can't make it?
Order online and, in Valencia, we bring it to you by bike. The gift guide and the ring size guide cover the rest from home.
See you in Russafa.
