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
Choose the width to suit what you hang on it: 0.9 or 1.2 mm for a small cross or a fine medal, 1.5 or 2 mm for a larger medal or to wear the chain alone. Then choose 45 cm (just below the collarbone), 50 cm (upper chest) or 55 cm (mid-chest).
The gold-tone snake chain lies flat and shines on bare skin, alone or layered with a second chain at least 5 cm longer. The stainless steel can stay on in the shower. Avoid folding it sharply or knotting it: snake chains can kink.
Fragen
Which width should I choose for my pendant?
0.9 or 1.2 mm for a small, light cross; 1.5 mm for a medium medal; 2 mm for a larger medal or to wear the chain on its own. Check that the pendant's loop is wider than the chain.
What lengths are available?
45, 50 and 55 cm, in each of the four widths (0.9, 1.2, 1.5 and 2 mm).
Is it gold?
No. It is stainless steel with a gold-tone finish and a lobster clasp.
Can the fine 0.9 mm Gilded Serpent snake chain go in the shower?
Yes. It is stainless steel and does not rust. Afterward, lay it flat to dry rather than bunching it up, which protects even the finest width.
Can a snake chain break or kink?
It can kink if folded sharply, knotted or pulled hard. Store it laid flat or hanging, and it will keep its smooth line.
Does it come with a pendant?
No. It is the chain alone, made to carry a medal or cross you already have, or to be worn by itself.
I found my late mother's small crucifix in a drawer while cleaning out her house. It's been sitting there for years. I'd love to start wearing it but it doesn't have a chain anymore.
Cleaning out a mother's house means finding her in every drawer, and this may be one of the few things worth stopping for. That crucifix lay against her through whatever she never told you about. It is no small thing that it comes to you now. The Gilded Serpent, is a smooth snake chain in several widths and lengths, chosen to carry a medal or cross worn every day. Its meaning comes only from what it carries, which is as it should be. The first time you put it on, say a Hail Mary or an Our Father for her, whichever she would have said. Then go back to the boxes.

Seine Bedeutung
A smooth chain for a medal or cross
This is a plain chain, and its meaning comes from what you hang on it.
Snake chain is the jeweler's name for this style: small plates joined so tightly that the chain looks like one smooth, flexible cord. It lies flat against the skin and slides easily through the loop of a medal. Four widths let you match it to the pendant, from 0.9 mm for a small cross to 2 mm for a larger medal. Three lengths, 45, 50 and 55 cm, set where it falls. The finish is gold tone over stainless steel,...
Als Geschenk
Give it with a medal, or on its own to someone whose gold-tone medal needs a better chain. It suits Christmas, a birthday, or a confirmation where the pendant came from a grandparent.
