Size guide
Find your bracelet size
This bracelet is adjustable and fits most wrists. Use the table as a simple guide.
Measure at home in 2 minutes
You need a strip of paper (or a string or shoelace), a pen and a ruler.
- Wrap the strip around your wrist, just above the wrist bone, snug but not tight.
- Mark with the pen where the end overlaps.
- Lay it flat and measure from the end to the mark: that is your wrist size.
- Find your wrist in the table below and read the bracelet length, close fit or looser.
Already have a bracelet that fits well? Lay it flat, clasp closed, measure it end to end and order that length.
No ruler? A bank card is 8.6 cm (3.4") long: count how many fit along your strip.
| Your wrist | Bracelet for a snug fit | For a relaxed fit |
|---|---|---|
| 14 cm (5.5") | 15.5 cm (6.1") | 16.5 cm (6.5") |
| 15 cm (5.9") | 16.5 cm (6.5") | 17.5 cm (6.9") |

How to wear it
The 41 x 10 mm plate, dark with a cross set into it, is mounted on a mesh band adjustable from 17 to 21 cm. It wears much like a slim watch: on its own on the wrist where you would put one, or on the other wrist to balance a real watch. It looks at home with a suit, a sweater or a work shirt.
The stainless steel does not rust, so it can stay on in the shower and at the gym. The two-tone versions combine black, silver and gold-tone, so you can match the metal he already wears. It suits Christmas, Father's Day or an engagement.
Questions
Can The Shadowed Cross be sized down for a slim wrist?
Down to 17 cm (about 6.7 in). Below that, it will sit loose even at its smallest setting.
What color combinations are available?
Two-tone combinations of black, silver and gold-tone stainless steel, so you can match a watch or a ring.
Does it look like a watch?
Yes, a little. The mesh band and the long plate recall a slim watch, which makes it a discreet piece for a man who does not wear much jewelry.
How big is the plate?
41 x 10 mm, long and narrow, with the cross set into it.
Will the black plate of The Shadowed Cross scratch?
Water and sweat will not hurt the stainless steel, but knocks and rubbing against a desk or a laptop wear the black accents over time, as on a watch. Wipe it with the microfiber cloth after wearing.
Is it a good engagement gift for a man?
Yes. It is a sober, everyday piece with a cross at its center, a meaningful gift for a fiancé who shares your faith.
Dad has open heart surgery tomorrow morning. I'm scared and he's pretending he isn't. We're Lutheran. Is it silly to give a guy a cross bracelet the night before surgery?
It is not silly. He is pretending so that you won't be scared, and you are pretending that you believe him, which is a way of loving each other that families have always used. The hospital will likely ask him to take off anything he is wearing, so give it to him tonight and hold it for him tomorrow. The Shadowed Cross, is a plain cross on a dark plate, worn the way he would wear a watch. Tell him: 'I'll have it in my hand the whole time. You can have it back when you wake up.' And in the waiting room: 'God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble' (Psalm 46:1).

Its meaning
Light against a dark background
The Gospel of John opens with light shining in darkness, and Christians have long seen the cross the same way: the darkness of Good Friday, then the light of Easter.
Many churches veil their crosses in the last weeks of Lent and uncover them on Good Friday, a contrast between hiding and showing. This bracelet plays on contrast in a quiet, modern way. A polished cross stands out on a black plate, mounted on a band in silver or gold tone. It sits on the wrist much like a watch and stays discreet.
Giving it as a gift
A simple Christmas gift for a man who does not wear much jewelry, or for a dad on Father's Day. Three color combinations make it easy to match what he already wears.
