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.
Still unsure? Ask us, a real person replies within 24 hours.

How to wear it
The shield pendant measures about 24 x 35 mm and hangs on a 50 cm twist chain, so it rests on the upper chest. The red enamel and gold-tone wings stand out against a dark T-shirt or sweater, while under a shirt it becomes a private reminder. At 11.5 g it is light enough for daily wear.
The pendant is alloy with enamel, so take it off before a shower, a swim or the gym, and keep it away from perfume. It suits a son, a brother or a friend in a demanding job, a confirmation under Saint Michael's name, Father's Day or Christmas.
Questions
How big is the pendant and how long is the chain?
The pendant is about 24 x 35 mm, on a 50 cm (about 20 in) twist chain. It weighs 11.5 g.
What does the red dragon represent?
It is the dragon of the Book of Revelation, chapter 12, which Saint Michael defeats: a traditional image of evil overcome.
Will water damage the red enamel of The Saint Michael Crest?
It can, over time. The shield is alloy with red enamel and an antiqued finish, so keep it dry and away from perfume.
Is it a good confirmation gift for a boy who chose Saint Michael?
Yes. Its colors and shield shape appeal to teenagers, and it marks the saint he chose.
Can a non-Catholic wear a Saint Michael pendant?
Yes. Saint Michael is named in the Bible, and Orthodox and Anglican Christians honor him too.
Can a priest bless The Saint Michael Crest even though it is a shield, not a round medal?
Yes. A priest or deacon can bless an image of a saint whatever its shape, often after Mass. It arrives unblessed, and the blessing is a custom rather than a requirement.
Catholic medal to wear for protection against evil
If you are asking this, something probably feels heavier than you can carry on your own, and you are right to bring it to God. Catholics have long turned to two helpers here: Saint Michael and Saint Benedict. The Saint Michael Crest shows Michael casting down the dragon, evil defeated. The Benedict Cross Medallion sets the Saint Benedict medal at the heart of a cross, for when the way out is hard to see. Wear it as a prayer, and speak with a priest as well, if this weighs on you.

What is the difference between alloy and stainless steel jewelry?
Stainless steel can stay on in the shower and at the gym without rusting. Plated alloy allows finer relief and enamel, but it should come off before swimming or showering to keep its finish. Pick according to how you will live with it: a piece that stays on all day, or one you put on with some care. For relief and color, the Saint Michael Crest in alloy and red enamel shows Michael casting down the dragon. For constant wear, the Saint Michael Medal is stainless steel.
my son is a firefighter. he went into a house fire last week where a ceiling came down. he laughed about it at dinner. i didn't laugh
He laughed because that is how they all get back to the table. You did not laugh because you are his mother, and you heard what he actually said. When Isaiah heard God ask who would go, he answered, 'Here am I; send me' (Isaiah 6:8), and your son has chosen to say that every shift. For Catholics, Saint Michael goes with those who run toward danger. The Saint Michael Crest, shows him casting down the dragon, for a son in a demanding role. Tell him one thing, once, without making him answer: 'I don't laugh about it. I pray about it.' And let him finish his dinner.
The prayer
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
Prayer to Saint Michael, composed by Pope Leo XIII in 1886

Its meaning
Saint Michael and the dragon
In the Book of Revelation, Michael and his angels fight against the dragon and cast him out of heaven (Revelation 12:7-9).
That scene became the classic image of the archangel: winged, armed, standing over evil defeated. Catholics turn to him as defender of the faithful and patron of those who protect others, and many pray the prayer to Saint Michael asking him to defend us in battle. Here he stands over the red dragon with a cross above his head. The shield pendant is antiqued silver-tone alloy with gold-tone wings and deep red enamel, on...
Giving it as a gift
For a son, a brother or a friend in a demanding role, or for a confirmation under Saint Michael's name. It also suits Father's Day or Christmas, for someone who asks Saint Michael for courage.
