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.

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.

The serpent does not sleep. It circles.
Jörmungandr — the Midgard Serpent — is one of the most striking images in Norse visual culture: a serpent so vast it encircles the world, its ouroboros form appearing across Viking Age carvings, runestones, and metalwork. This ring wears that image in oxidized black surgical-grade stainless steel: a dense diamond lattice serpent scale texture covering the full outer surface of the band, with Elder Futhark runes carved into the horizontal band that runs through the center. The scales catch light in fragments. The runes hold their form in silence. The black finish absorbs everything else.
If you're drawn to Norse Viking jewelry with deep Nordic craft heritage and raw tactile texture, this is where serpent scale meets ancient alphabet.
Design Highlights
- Dense diamond lattice serpent scale texture — full outer surface coverage, no empty space
- Elder Futhark rune band running through the center — ancient alphabet embedded in serpent skin
- Full oxidized black finish — deep, dark, light-absorbing throughout
- Wide band profile — substantial presence, commanding on the hand
- Smooth polished inner band — comfortable for all-day wear
Material & Craft
- 316L Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel — same grade as medical implants
- Full oxidized black finish — deep matte texture, no shine, no compromise
- Corrosion-resistant, hypoallergenic, tarnish-resistant
- Water-safe — built for daily wear in any condition
The Design
The serpent scale pattern draws from one of the most enduring motifs in Northern European decorative art — the coiling serpent form found across Viking Age metalwork, runestones, and carved wood. Paired with Elder Futhark runes, this ring becomes a dark aesthetic statement band: Nordic-inspired alternative jewelry for those drawn to biker style, Viking heritage, and heavy textured accessories. Veilhinge is not just gothic jewelry — it represents a modern dark aesthetic, where symbolism, emotion, and identity come together.
The serpent circles. The runes hold. The ring endures.
