Tina Turner’s ring
Fan edition

In the 70s, at the turning point of her life when she had left Ike and had to clean other people’s homes to provide for her two children, Tina Turner once strolled through a flea market. At one corner she discovered a golden thumb ring, which she adored immediately. The moment she put it on her thumb, she felt stronger, more confident – “it was a magic moment.” In this ring, she saw a symbol for the inner strength she was just beginning to discover in herself. Since then, she has not put it down. She wears it on her thumb every day. For Tina, this ring is a lucky charm that always reminds her of her life motto: You are stronger than everything life puts in your way. But the ring also has another meaning: Over the decades, it has become a symbol of Tina’s deep bond with her fans. Her ring and her fans are her two loyal companions through all the challenges and transformations on her life’s journey. For this reason, Tina wants to share this special piece with her fans. Her ring shall also bring them luck and always give them strength.
This gold-plated ring is an exact replica of Tina’s thumb ring. Engraved on the outside of the ring is a “T” for Tina and the symbol of the Sagittarius, Tina’s zodiac sign. On the inside of each ring is written “Love Tina”. The ring is handcrafted by Tina Turner’s personal Swiss jeweler.
A gold-plated declaration of love from Tina Turner to you – the ring for every fan!
