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.
Still unsure? Ask us, a real person replies within 24 hours.

How to wear it
The cross is 34 x 56 mm, a generous size, on a 60 cm (23.6 in) box chain that lets it fall on the lower chest. The antiqued finish darkens the recesses so the flower and leaf pattern shows from a distance, which works well over a plain T-shirt, a linen shirt or a dark knit.
The stainless steel does not rust, so it can stay on in the shower and at the gym; the antiqued tone will not wash off with water. Silver looks like old pewter, gold-tone like a vintage church piece. It suits Easter, Father's Day or everyday wear.
Questions
What does a floral cross mean?
Flowers on a cross point to life coming out of death, the hope of the Resurrection. Christians have decorated crosses with leaves and blossoms for centuries, especially at Easter.
What does antiqued finish mean?
The hollows of the pattern are darkened on purpose, so the raised flowers and leaves stand out. It gives the cross the look of an older, well-worn piece.
How visible is the four-petal flower at the center of The Floral Cross?
Very. The cross is 34 x 56 mm, and the antiqued finish darkens the hollows so the central flower and the leaves stand out even from a few steps away.
Is a floral cross only for women?
No. The antiqued finish and the large size give it a rugged look, and the product is designed with men in mind as well.
Will the antiqued finish of The Floral Cross wear off?
Water and sweat will not hurt it, since the cross and box chain are stainless steel. Avoid polishing it hard or using cleaning products: a soft wipe with the microfiber cloth keeps the darkened hollows that bring out the flowers.
Is The Floral Cross a good Easter gift?
Yes. A cross in bloom fits Easter Sunday, and on its 60 cm box chain it can be worn over a shirt for the day and every day after.
Silver mens cross chain, antique or oxidized look
A worn look is honest. A faith that has been through something usually shows it. The Floral Cross is antiqued, 34 x 56 mm, carved with leaves like the tree of life, a cross in flower after a season of sorrow. The Knotwork Cross is antiqued silver-tone stainless steel on a 3 mm box chain. The Christopher Crossing has an aged relief of the saint in the river. All three are antiqued on purpose, so the details stand out.
I'm a Baptist and my husband went home to the Lord in April. I know where he is. So why does it hurt this badly? I'd like something to wear but no saints or anything like that.
Knowing where he is does not put him back at the kitchen table. Paul never told believers not to grieve, only not to grieve 'as others which have no hope' (1 Thessalonians 4:13, KJV). You can be sure of heaven and still be undone by his empty chair. Both are true at once, and neither one cancels the other. The Floral Cross, is a cross in flower, like the tree of life, the hope of the cross after a season of sorrow. No saints, only the promise. When the hurt comes, put a hand on it and say: 'He is with You, and You are with me.'

Its meaning
The cross as a tree of life
Christian writers have long compared the cross to the tree of life planted in Eden and seen again in the last chapter of Revelation.
In the sixth century, Venantius Fortunatus wrote the hymn "Crux fidelis," which praises the cross as a noble tree without equal in leaf, flower or fruit. Medieval artists took up the idea and let leaves and blossoms grow from its arms. The flowering cross keeps that hope in view: for Christians, the wood of death became a source of life. Here, a pattern runs along the arms toward a four-petal flower...
Giving it as a gift
A good Easter gift for someone who loves the season of new life. It also suits a father who prefers a cross with some detail to a plain one, or anyone looking for a cross to wear every day.
