RING SIZE GUIDE
Find your perfect fit — before the ring finds you.
01
Cut a thin strip of paper or use a piece of string. Wrap it snugly around the base of your finger.
02
Mark the point where the paper or string overlaps with a pen. This marks your finger's circumference.
03
Lay your string flat and measure the distance between the marks in millimeters.

OPEN BAND RINGS
Select Veilhinge rings feature an open band design and can be gently adjusted ±1 size from their original shipped size for a comfortable fit. To avoid metal fatigue, we recommend minimal and gradual adjustment — do not bend the band back and forth repeatedly.
SIZING TIPS
Measure at the end of the day — fingers are slightly larger then, giving you the most comfortable fit.
If you're between sizes, size up for a more comfortable wear.
Knuckle larger than the base of your finger? Measure both and choose a size in between.
Still unsure? We're here.

Born in darkness. Drawn to the unseen.
The death moth is one of the strongest symbols in dark aesthetic jewelry: transformation, instinct, beauty, and the unknown held in a single shape. Unlike the butterfly — which represents change completed — the moth represents the pull toward something not yet understood, the willingness to move toward light even when the outcome is uncertain. This pendant combines engraved wings, a skull-centered body, and an antique silver finish that gives the piece a weathered, ritual-object feel instead of a polished costume look.
Each pendant is individually hand-finished — the wing engraving worked by hand to ensure the texture reads clearly at every angle, the antique silver tone applied to build shadow into every groove and feather line.
If you're drawn to gothic necklaces with symbolic weight, this is a piece that reads clearly whether you wear it alone or layer it into a darker stack.
Design Highlights
- Death moth silhouette with skull detail at the center — transformation and mortality in one form
- Engraved wing patterns — texture and shadow built into every line
- Antique silver finish — weathered, worn-in, ritual-object character
- Pairs naturally with gothic, dark romantic, and occult styling
The Symbolism
The death's-head hawkmoth has appeared in art and literature for centuries — from Dutch vanitas paintings to Silence of the Lambs — always as a symbol of the uncanny, the threshold between worlds, the beauty that exists at the edge of what is comfortable. The skull at its center is not added for effect. It was always there.
Material & Craft
- 316L surgical-grade stainless steel with a weight you can feel
- Tarnish-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and skin-friendly for everyday wear
- Antique silver finish hand-applied across engraved wing surface — shadow caught in every feather line
- Built to be worn close — atmospheric rather than loud, felt before it is seen
