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.

How to wear it
At 35 x 59 mm, this is a large crucifix that is meant to be seen. Our size guide suggests a longer chain, around 55 cm, for a pendant of this size, so it rests on the chest rather than at the collarbone. Wear it over a dark sweater or an open-collared shirt, where the gold tone and the stones catch the light.
The stainless steel holds up to daily wear; put it on after perfume and lotions so the stones stay bright. It is a fitting piece for Easter, a confirmation, Father's Day or Sunday Mass.
Questions
What is the ring of stones behind Christ's head on the Radiant Crucifix?
A halo. Small stones form a ring behind the head of Christ, the traditional sign of holiness in Christian art, and more rhinestones edge the crucifix.
Can a non-Catholic wear a crucifix?
Yes. Some Lutherans and Anglicans use the crucifix too, and any Christian can wear it as a sign of faith. What matters is wearing it with respect.
Is the 35 x 59 mm Radiant Crucifix too big to wear under a shirt?
It is made to be seen rather than hidden. At about 1.4 x 2.3 in it is a statement size; if you want a crucifix under a shirt, a smaller pendant suits that better.
Is it made of gold and diamonds?
No. It is stainless steel with a gold-tone finish, set with rhinestones. That makes it sturdy enough to wear often without the cost of fine jewelry.
Does a crucifix need to be blessed before I wear it?
No, but many Catholics like to have it blessed. It arrives unblessed; any priest or deacon can bless it, usually after Mass.
Is the Radiant Crucifix a meaningful Easter gift?
Yes. A crucifix keeps Christ's suffering in view, the heart of Holy Week, and the halo of small stones adds the light of Easter morning.
The prayer
Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. O good Jesus, hear me. Within thy wounds hide me. Suffer me not to be separated from thee. From the malicious enemy defend me. In the hour of my death call me, and bid me come unto thee, that with thy saints I may praise thee for ever and ever. Amen.
Anima Christi, 14th-century prayer, traditional English translation

Its meaning
A crucifix set with small stones
The crucifix keeps Christ on the cross, so the one who wears it looks at the Passion and not only at the empty sign. For Catholics, it is the cross of Good Friday, seen in full. Christian artists have long surrounded the head of Christ with light, the halo that marks holiness in icons and paintings. This pendant borrows that language with small rhinestones that catch the light along the cross. It is stainless steel in a gold tone, a warm finish for a traditional symbol. Some people wear it under a shirt, close to...
Giving it as a gift
Give it at confirmation, when a teenager is old enough to choose a cross of their own. It is also a thoughtful Easter or Father's Day gift for a Catholic who prefers the crucifix to the plain cross.
