The Hungry Fish Stacking Ring
Nomad Avenue uses standard European ring sizes.
If you do not know your European ring size we suggest the following approach to finding the correct size:
You already own a ring
Measure the inner diameter of your ring in mm and find the corresponding Nomad Avenue size in the chart below.
Measure it as accurately as possible as a small measurement error may lead to a wrong ring size.
If the measured size falls in between two sizes we suggest going with the larger size.
You DO NOT already own a ring
If you do not own a ring you can measure we suggest using the following approach.
Take a 5 mm wide paper band (cut from a standard A4 piece or similar).
Wrap it firmly around your finger and mark the place where the paper meets itself with a pen.
Measure the length of the piece of paper from the mark you made to the end in mm to get the circumference.
Find the corresponding Nomad Avenue ring size in the size chart below.
If the measured size falls in between two sizes we suggest going with the larger size.

The Story Behind the Design
Besides the city hall of Copenhagen lays the famous Danish tale writer’s statue: the one of Hans Christian Andersen, and next to it, this inspiring and dreamy manhole cover.
In 1838, the story of The Steadfast Tin Soldier is published in HC’s first booklet of Fairy Tales for Children and in which a single legged tin soldier falls in love with a paper ballerina before being pushed out of the windowsill and put on a paper boat to sail in through the gutters.
His journey takes him through playful rats and a hungry fish by which swallows him all. This same fish gets then caught by a fisherman and sold to the little boy’s mom on a market.
Once home, she cut’s the fish open to realise that the tin soldier is laying there, intact.
Inexplicably, the little boy throws the tin soldier in the fireplace before a mysterious wind draft pushes the paper ballerina in the flames with it.
The very next day, the tin soldier beautifully melted into a heart, now black as coal, along with the ballerina’s spangle.
