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.

The Story
E.T. arrived in 1982 as a figure of radical gentleness — an alien who communicated through touch, who healed with a glowing finger, who wanted nothing more than to go home. In a decade defined by Cold War anxiety and technological acceleration, the film offered something simpler: the idea that the most important things are small, quiet, and easily overlooked. The image of the bicycle against the moon became one of the most recognized silhouettes of the 20th century.
This pendant places that figure — E.T.’s distinctive profile, hand-cut at the center of a 1921 coin face — in the Morgan Dollar coin art tradition. The E Pluribus Unum inscription runs the border. The date grounds it in a specific American moment. Each piece is hand-cut.
What It Represents
The Outsider
E.T. is the definitive outsider figure — strange in form, gentle in nature, misunderstood by institutions and understood immediately by children. The archetype resonates because most people have felt it.
Pop Culture as Mythology
The coin carving tradition placed folk figures and personal symbols into coins. E.T. belongs in that lineage — a figure that carries genuine cultural weight, placed in a form that has always been about personal meaning.
Nostalgia as Identity
Wearing a cultural reference is a form of self-disclosure. E.T. signals something specific about the person wearing it — a relationship to a particular kind of storytelling, a particular kind of feeling.
Design Highlights
- E.T. profile hand-cut at center — distinctive silhouette readable at coin scale
- E Pluribus Unum inscription and 1921 date on the coin border, star detail running the circumference
- Four-prong open coin setting — no drilling or soldering on the coin; can be removed and kept as a collectible
- Skull bail cast separately above the frame; coin diameter 38 mm (approx. 1.5 in); box chain included
Aging & Patina
Hand-cut from a modern Morgan Dollar-style coin replica and individually polished by hand. The silver-plated copper surface is designed to develop a unique vintage patina over time — making each piece a personal relic rather than a mass-produced accessory.
Styling Suggestions
- Worn alone over black or grey — the silhouette reads clearly, the coin context rewards a closer look
- Layered with a longer chain or other pop culture pendants for a personal reference stack
- With dark casual, alternative, or streetwear styling where cultural references are worn as identity
- For collectors of film iconography, outsider culture, or anyone who still feels the pull of that bicycle against the moon
