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 pendant is small, 18 x 16 mm, on a fine cable chain of 45 cm with a 5 cm extender. At 45 cm it sits just below the collarbone, delicate with a V-neck, a blouse or a simple dress; at 50 cm it drops a little lower over a crew neck. It also layers easily with a small cross.
The alloy pendant should be kept away from water and perfume, so take it off before a shower or a swim. Choose gold tone or silver tone. It is a gentle gift for a goddaughter's confirmation, Mother's Day, or a friend missing a loved one.
Questions
Is the 18 x 16 mm Folded Wings pendant noticeable from a distance?
Not much. It is a small, finely lined pendant that sits flat at the collarbone, closer to a discreet sign than a statement piece.
How do I wear The Folded Wings at 45 or at 50 cm?
Close the clasp at the end of the chain for 45 cm (about 18 in), or along the 5 cm extender for up to 50 cm (about 20 in). The shorter setting keeps the wings at the collarbone.
What do angel wings mean in Christian jewelry?
They recall the guardian angel that, in Christian tradition, God gives to each person. Many also wear them in memory of a loved one.
Why give The Folded Wings to someone missing a loved one?
Many Christians see folded wings as a sign of the guardian angel's quiet care. Given after a loss, the pendant tells them you are thinking of them without needing words.
Does the gold or silver tone of The Folded Wings wear off with water?
It can, over time. The pendant is alloy with a gold-tone or silver-tone finish, so keep it dry and away from perfume.
Can I layer it with a cross?
Yes. Pair it with a small cross on a chain about 5 cm longer, so the wings and the cross hang separately.
The prayer
Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.
Angel of God, the traditional prayer to the guardian angel

Its meaning
The guardian angel
Christian tradition holds that God gives each person a guardian angel, who watches over them from the beginning of life until death. Jesus speaks of the angels of the little ones, who always see the face of the Father (Matthew 18:10), and the Church keeps the feast of the Guardian Angels on October 2. Two folded wings stand for that quiet presence, close but unseen. Many learn the prayer "Angel of God, my guardian dear" young and keep it all their lives. This small alloy pendant shows two feathered wings with engraved lines, in gold...
Giving it as a gift
For a goddaughter at her confirmation, a mother on Mother's Day, or a friend going through a hard time. It is also a gentle gift of sympathy for someone missing a loved one.
