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 (20").
- 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 (2") 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 (3.4") long: count how many fit along your strip.
Still unsure? Ask us, a real person replies within 24 hours.

How to wear it
This slender Latin cross measures 2.8 x 1.6 cm and is set with eleven clear stones, each in its own small setting. At 5 g it is light and discreet: worn close to the collarbone, it suits a crew neck, a blouse or a dress, and it layers well under a longer pendant.
The gold-tone finish keeps its shine longer away from water and perfume, so take it off before a shower or a swim and put it on after lotion. It is a natural gift from a godmother at a confirmation, for an older child's first communion, Mother's Day or Christmas.
Questions
Is the 5 g Crystal Cross light enough for every day?
Yes. It weighs 5 g and measures 2.8 x 1.6 cm (about 1.1 x 0.6 in), on a fine cable chain with an extender at the clasp.
How many stones line The Crystal Cross?
Eleven clear cubic zirconia stones, each held in its own small setting along the arms.
Is The Crystal Cross gold-plated or gold?
Gold-plated. The cross is metal with a gold-plated finish, not gold.
Does soap affect the gold plating of The Crystal Cross?
Yes, over time. Water, soap and perfume can dull the plating and the stones, so keep the cross dry and put it on last.
Why do godmothers pick The Crystal Cross for a goddaughter's confirmation?
Its single row of stones gives a little light for the ceremony while the cross stays small and elegant, easy to keep wearing afterwards.
Is The Crystal Cross a Catholic cross or one any Christian can wear?
Any Christian can wear it. It is a Latin cross without a figure of Christ, a sign shared across Christian traditions.
First Mother's Day since Mom died is coming up and my kids want to do something special for me. I would honestly rather skip it. How do I get through it?
You are being celebrated as a mother on the first day you have no mother of your own, and few people will notice how hard that is. You can tell your kids the truth, gently: 'I'm sad about Grandma, and I'm glad about you.' Children can hold both. If they want to give you something, let it be something that holds both too. The Crystal Cross, is a Latin cross worn morning and night as a reminder that death has been overcome. Let them fasten it. Then give yourself an hour alone that afternoon, at the grave or in the car. 'As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you' (Isaiah 66:13).
The prayer
We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee, because by Thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
Traditional acclamation of the Stations of the Cross

Its meaning
The Latin cross
The cross is the central sign of the Christian faith, recalling Christ's death on Good Friday and his resurrection on the third day.
The Latin cross, with its longer lower arm, is the form Christians recognize everywhere, and it is traced on each person at baptism. Many make the sign of the cross when they begin and end a prayer, and wearing one is a simple way of carrying that sign through the day. This slender Latin cross is gold-plated, 2.8 x 1.6 cm, set with a single row of eleven clear cubic zirconia stones,...
Giving it as a gift
For a goddaughter's confirmation, from her godmother, or for the first communion of an older child. It also suits Mother's Day or Christmas, for a woman who wears her faith every day.
