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.

How to wear it
The cross measures 25 x 44 mm and comes on a 55 or 60 cm chain, so it rests on the chest rather than at the collar. At 55 cm it sits at mid-chest, visible over a T-shirt or sweater; at 60 cm it falls a little lower and slips easily under a buttoned shirt.
The polished stainless steel can be worn every day, in the shower and at the gym. Silver is the classic choice, gold tone the warmer one. It is a good confirmation gift for a godson, on the longer chain, and a traditional Father's Day gift.
Questions
Why is the 4.4 cm Devotional Cross made for a longer chain?
At 25 x 44 mm it needs room to sit flat on the chest. On the 55 cm chain it falls at mid-chest, on the 60 cm a little lower, the lengths that balance a medium cross.
Should I choose the 55 or the 60 cm chain?
55 cm (about 22 in) sits at mid-chest and shows over clothing. 60 cm (about 24 in) falls lower and is easier to wear under a shirt.
Is this cross for a man or a woman?
Both. Its classic shape suits anyone, and the longer chain makes it a natural choice for men.
Will the beveled edges of the gold Devotional Cross keep their shine?
Yes, with simple care. The stainless steel does not rust in water, and the gold finish on the angled edges lasts longest away from perfume and chlorine; a wipe with the microfiber cloth keeps them bright.
What is a beveled cross?
A cross whose edges are cut at an angle, so each arm catches the light along its sides. This one keeps the plain Latin form most people picture when they hear the word cross.
Is The Devotional Cross a good Father's Day gift?
Yes. It is the classic plain cross a father can wear for years, and the 60 cm chain lets him keep it under a work shirt.

Its meaning
The Latin cross, after Constantine
For the first Christians, the cross was the instrument of a shameful death, and they rarely pictured it. In the fourth century the emperor Constantine ended crucifixion as a punishment, and the cross began to appear openly in churches and on coins. The Latin form, with its longer lower arm, became the one most people picture when they hear the word cross. It is recognized across every Christian church. This cross is 4.4 cm tall, polished in silver or gold, on a 55 or 60 cm chain that lets it rest on the chest.
Giving it as a gift
Give it to a godson at confirmation, on the longer chain so it sits under a shirt. For Father's Day, the gold version suits a dad who likes a classic look.
