I added this HJ ring to my collection recently. (Thanks, Gaspare). A nice example of one pattern of Hitler Youth rings. The last photo shows it along with a very worn, over-polished HJ Führer's ring. Over-polished because, when found, it was covered in something very sticky and difficult to remove. During the cleaning, it also lost all of the blackening. (I posted the Führer ring previously here.)
Still, I think that the red and white enamelled HJ ring is very nice, despite a piece of the red being missing. It has a nicely aged silver patina.

Cool, Stephen,
Looks like all the guys got rings.
What about the ladies ? Did the BDM and various other ladies organizations have any ?
Keep it up !

Looks great Stephen... On the HJ leaders you might try a jeweler and ask them to steam it as it has no enamel and couldn't hurt it..... I know I'm weird,,but I prefer my enamel rings with just a bit of enamel missing. [ Love to see whats under there! ] Occasionally I find a better condition example but still keep the other...
- Dave,,they did! This was a HJ & BDM ring [advert a drawing and close enough ]... Others were just a very small swastika in a circle,,some better!
I invite other members to post their HJ rings here if Stephen doesn't mind.. And,, any other HJ, DJ, related rings..., Thanks , G.

Dave Dave, As Gaspare noted, HJ rings and other pieces of jewellery were also aimed at females in the BDM, as seen in his ad. There were also swastika rings of very small size that must've been made for women or children. I have one example, shown below. This tiny ring doesn't even get past the first knuckle on my pinky. Here's a link that shows other examples of patriotic rings for women: https://forum.germandaggers.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=224487&page=17Stephen
