In 2 Minuten zu Hause messen
Sie brauchen einen Papierstreifen (oder eine Schnur bzw. einen Schnürsenkel), einen Stift und ein Lineal.
- Nehmen Sie eine Schnur oder einen Schnürsenkel und markieren Sie darauf die gewünschte Länge, zum Beispiel 50 cm.
- Halten Sie die beiden Markierungen im Nacken zusammen und tragen Sie dabei ein Oberteil, wie Sie es gewöhnlich tragen.
- Schauen Sie in den Spiegel: Am tiefsten Punkt der Schnur wird die Kette liegen.
- Zu hoch oder zu tief? Probieren Sie 5 cm mehr oder weniger: Das entspricht einer Größe größer oder kleiner.
Sie besitzen schon eine Kette, die Ihnen gefällt? Legen Sie sie mit geschlossenem Verschluss flach hin und messen Sie sie von Ende zu Ende. Bei breitem Hals oder breiter Brust sitzt jede Länge etwas höher.
Kein Lineal zur Hand? Eine Bankkarte ist 8,6 cm lang: Zählen Sie, wie oft sie auf Ihren Streifen passt.

So trägst du es
The Small Cylindrical cross is listed at 3 cm tall and 1.8 cm wide, the Large Cylindrical at 4.5 x 2.6 cm and the Large Beveled at 5 x 3.2 cm, all on a 60 cm (23.6 in) box chain with a lobster clasp. At that length it rests on the lower chest, low enough to stay hidden under a shirt collar and visible over a crew-neck T-shirt. The Small Cylindrical layers easily under a shorter 45 or 50 cm chain.
The stainless steel does not rust, so it can stay on in the shower, at the gym and at the beach. The beveled design catches more light; the cylindrical ones look softer. It suits a confirmation, Christmas or a simple everyday cross.
Fragen
Which Polished Cross shape catches the most light, beveled or cylindrical?
Large Beveled: its flat, angled faces flash as you move. The cylindrical arms give a softer, continuous gleam, and Small Cylindrical is the finest line of the three.
Why is The Polished Cross made of plain rods with no decoration?
It is the cross as simple as the sign can be: two polished rods, from 3 x 1.8 cm (Small Cylindrical) to 5 x 3.2 cm (Large Beveled). Nothing is added, which leaves all the room to what the cross means to the person wearing it.
Is it a crucifix?
No. It is a plain cross with no figure of Christ, which is why Christians of every church wear this style.
Which size suits a man?
All three work. On a 60 cm chain they sit low; the Large Cylindrical (4.5 cm) and Large Beveled (5 cm) read clearly on a man's chest, while the Small Cylindrical (3 cm) stays discreet, a good fit for a man who wants a cross without a statement piece.
Will The Polished Cross keep its mirror shine?
Mostly. Polished stainless steel does not rust, but like any polished metal it picks up fine surface marks over years of wear. A wipe with the microfiber cloth removes film and fingerprints.
What kind of clasp does the chain have?
A lobster clasp, which is easy to open with one hand and holds securely.

Seine Bedeutung
Glorying in the cross, as Saint Paul wrote
To the first believers, the cross was a scandal, a Roman punishment for slaves and rebels. Saint Paul still made it the center of his preaching. We preach Christ crucified, he wrote to the Corinthians, and to the Galatians he said he would glory in nothing save the cross. The early Church took his words as its own, and the cross went from a mark of shame to the sign of the faith. This pendant keeps only the shape: two polished bars, beveled or cylindrical, from 3 by 1.8 cm (Small Cylindrical) to 5 by...
Als Geschenk
Give it at confirmation to a teenager who wants something understated, or at Christmas to a brother or a close friend. The small cylindrical style suits someone who likes a fine, discreet line.
