Measure at home in 2 minutes
You need a strip of paper (or a string or shoelace), a pen and a ruler.
- Take a string or a shoelace and mark on it the length you are considering, for example 50 cm.
- Hold the two marks together at the back of your neck, wearing the kind of top you usually wear.
- Look in a mirror: the lowest point of the string is where the chain will sit.
- Too high or too low? Try 5 cm more or less: that is one size up or down.
Already own a chain you like? Lay it flat, clasp closed, and measure it end to end. A broad neck or chest makes every length sit a little higher.
No ruler? A bank card is 8.6 cm long: count how many fit along your strip.

How to wear it
Saint Jude comes in three sizes: the small (9.4 x 25.8 mm) is discreet under a collar, the medium (12.9 x 33.1 mm) is an everyday size, and the large (15.6 x 45.3 mm) shows clearly over a T-shirt or a sweater. Each hangs on a flat-link chain, with the green enamel mantle and crystal-set halo giving a touch of color.
The gold-tone copper and enamel should be kept away from water and perfume, so take it off before a shower or a swim. It is a thoughtful gift for someone facing a difficult diagnosis, a long wait or a loss, or for a confirmation under Saint Jude's name.
Questions

What is Saint Jude the patron of?
Saint Jude Thaddeus, one of the twelve apostles, is the patron of desperate and lost causes.
Is Saint Jude the same as Judas Iscariot?
No. Jude Thaddeus is a different apostle from Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.
Is it a good gift for someone going through a hard time?
Yes. Saint Jude is traditionally invoked when a situation feels hopeless, such as an illness or a long wait for news.
Is the green mantle on The Saint Jude Necklace enamel or paint?
Enamel. The pendant is gold-tone copper with green enamel for the mantle and small clear crystals set in the halo.
Will water dull the crystal halo of The Saint Jude Necklace?
Over time, yes. Water and perfume can dull the gold tone, the enamel and the crystals, so keep the necklace dry.

Its meaning
Saint Jude Thaddeus, apostle of hope
Saint Jude Thaddeus was one of the twelve apostles, and the Letter of Jude in the New Testament is traditionally attributed to him. He is shown in a green mantle with a staff and the image of Christ on his chest. Through the centuries the faithful have turned to him in causes that seem without hope, and many Catholics pray a novena to him when they have run out of other options. He is known as the patron of desperate causes. This gold-tone copper pendant has green enamel and small clear crystals, in three sizes,...
Giving it as a gift
For someone facing a difficult diagnosis, a long wait or a loss, or for anyone who keeps Saint Jude in prayer. It also suits a confirmation under his name, or a father who prays to him.
