The Gilded Devotion
Keep the one you love beside your faith
On the day of the baptism, a godmother chooses her godchild's birth month and never takes it off. The cross and the child, close to her heart.

Für eine Patin, die den Geburtsmonat ihres Patenkinds trägt, oder die Mutter zum Muttertag.

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 chain measures 45 cm and is cut in a choker style, so the small cross and the slim birthstone charm sit high, close to the neck. It looks right with an open collar, a V neckline or a strapless dress, and it layers well above a longer chain, 50 cm or more.
The gold-tone stainless steel can stay on in the shower and every day. A godmother can wear her godchild's month from the baptism on, and a mother the month of her first child. It also suits a confirmation, Mother's Day or Christmas.
Fragen
Which stone matches each month?
January garnet, February amethyst, March aquamarine, April crystal, May emerald, June alexandrite, July ruby, August peridot, September sapphire, October pink tourmaline, November topaz, December zircon.
Are the birthstones real gems?
No. Each month is a zircon stone in that birthstone's color, and the cross is set with clear zircon too.
How long is this devotion necklace?
45 cm, with a lobster clasp. It is designed as a choker, so it sits close to the neck rather than low on the chest.
Is it gold?
No. It is stainless steel with a warm gold-tone finish, chosen for everyday wear.
Is it a good godmother gift for a baptism?
Yes, for the godmother herself to wear, with the baby's birth month. A necklace should not be worn by the baby.
What chain length layers well with the 45 cm Gilded Devotion choker?
A 50 cm chain or longer. Keeping at least 5 cm between the two stops the cross and the birthstone from tangling with a medal.
Necklace for women with a cross, short choker length
A short length keeps the cross at the base of the neck, where your hand finds it without thinking. The Gilded Devotion is choker style, 45 cm. The Enduring Heart Cross is 40 cm plus a 5 cm extender. The Obsidian Cross is also 40 cm plus 5, with faceted stones. If you measure one thing, measure the base of the neck and add a little room. More: Cross Choker Necklace.
I'm going to be my niece's godmother. Is there something I could wear myself, to remember I have this responsibility? She was born in October.
Plenty of people think about the gift for the child, and fewer ask what would keep the promise in front of them. That says something about the godmother she's getting. The Gilded Devotion is a tiny cross beside a birthstone, faith and the person you love side by side. Choose her October stone. From the day of the baptism, the cross and the child stay together, close to your heart. When you put it on, say her name and one line: Lord, help me keep what I promised. Remember her baptism day each year with a call or a note. You can find gifts for her here: Gifts from a Godparent

Seine Bedeutung
A cross beside the stone of your month
The idea of a stone for each month is often traced to the high priest's breastplate in Exodus 28, set with twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel.
Christians later saw twelve precious stones again in the foundations of the heavenly city in Revelation 21. The modern birthstone list is a jewelers' custom, not a church teaching, but it gives a cross a personal touch. This choker pairs a small cross set with clear stones and a slim charm holding one stone in the color of the month you choose. It sits close to...
