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
The 35 x 55 mm pendant hangs on a 60 cm pearl chain, so it rests on the lower chest. It is large enough to be seen over a sweater or an open shirt, and long enough to slip under a shirt and tie for work.
The stainless steel can stay on every day, including in the shower and at the gym; at 21 g it is light for its size. Black gives the figure a strong contrast, silver and gold are more traditional. It is a natural Easter gift, especially for someone received into the Church at the Easter Vigil, and suits a confirmation or Christmas.
Questions
What is the difference between a risen Christ cross and a crucifix?
A traditional crucifix shows Christ dying on the cross. A risen Christ shows him alive before the cross, pointing to Easter rather than Good Friday.
Is a risen Christ cross Catholic?
It is found in many Catholic churches, but any Christian can wear it, since the resurrection is at the heart of every Christian tradition.
How big is the pendant and how long is the chain?
The pendant is 35 x 55 mm and hangs on a 60 cm (about 24 in) chain. It weighs 21 g.
Is it a good gift for someone joining the Church at Easter?
Yes. Its image of the resurrection fits the Easter Vigil, when adults are baptized, confirmed or received into the Church.
How do the silver, gold and black Risen Christ necklaces differ?
Only in color. All three are polished stainless steel with the same 35 x 55 mm pendant and 60 cm pearl chain; black reads the most sober, silver the most classic and gold the warmest.
What do Christ's open arms on The Risen Christ express?
That he is alive. Risen, he stands before the cross with open arms instead of hanging on it, which puts the weight on Easter morning, the empty tomb and the promise of new life.
Men's crucifix necklace gold
Choosing a crucifix over a bare cross means wanting to see Him, and to remember how far that love went. One honest note: these are gold-tone finishes on steel, not gold. The Sacred Figure is a traditional crucifix with a raised figure, offered with a gold finish, the price of redemption kept in view. The Humble Crucifix is smaller, under the INRI plaque, in polished gold-tone, worn under a collar. Say the Anima Christi with it if you know it. More: Gold Crucifix Necklace Mens.
Easter gift for an adult, Christian jewelry
Easter speaks loudest to people who know what Friday felt like. So think of what this person has been through this year. The Risen Christ shows him standing before the cross with open arms, the tomb already empty. For someone after a season of sorrow, the Floral Cross is a cross in flower, like the tree of life. On the card, the words of the angel: He is not here: for he is risen (Matthew 28:6). More: Christian Easter Gifts.
Easter is coming and it's the first one since my mother died. Everyone will be saying 'He is risen' and I don't know if I can stand there and sing.
You can stand there and not sing. Plenty of people in that church have come with a grave on their mind, and the first Easter began with women walking to a tomb in tears, not with trumpets. It is all right to arrive where they arrived. The Risen Christ, shows Christ standing before the cross with open arms, the tomb already empty. You might wear it not because you feel it but because you need someone else to be holding the hope for you this year. If only one line of the hymn gets out of your mouth, let it be for her. 'I am the resurrection and the life' (John 11:25).

Its meaning
Easter morning rather than Good Friday
Most crucifixes show Christ on the cross at the hour of his death.
A risen Christ image shows the next part of the story: the figure stands before the cross with open arms, alive. The Gospels place the empty tomb on the first day of the week, and Saint Paul writes that if Christ is not risen, faith is in vain. Some churches hang a risen Christ above the altar for that reason, to put Easter at the center. Here the image is set on a polished cross and hung on a pearl chain, in...
Giving it as a gift
Easter is the obvious moment, in a basket or for someone received into the Church at the Easter Vigil. It also suits a confirmation, or a Christmas gift for a believer who prefers the joy of the resurrection to the image of suffering.
