Size guide
Find your bracelet size
Mittaa kotona 2 minuutissa
Tarvitset paperisuikaleen (tai narun tai kengännauhan), kynän ja viivoittimen.
- Kierrä suikale ranteen ympäri juuri rannekyhmyn yläpuolelta, myötäilevästi mutta ei kireälle.
- Merkitse kynällä kohta, jossa pää menee päällekkäin.
- Aseta suikale tasaiselle alustalle ja mittaa päästä merkkiin: se on ranteesi ympärysmitta.
- Etsi ranteesi ympärysmitta alla olevasta taulukosta ja katso rannekorun pituus, istuva tai väljempi.
Onko sinulla jo hyvin istuva rannekoru? Aseta se tasaiselle alustalle lukko kiinni, mittaa se päästä päähän ja tilaa sama pituus.
Eikö viivoitinta löydy? Pankkikortti on 8,6 cm pitkä: laske, montako mahtuu suikaleen pituudelle.

How to wear it
The bracelet measures 17 cm and the 5 cm extension takes it up to 22 cm, so it can sit close on a slim wrist or hang a little looser. The 25.6 x 15 mm cross lies flat along the top of the wrist and weighs almost nothing at 1.52 g.
The stainless steel does not rust, so it can stay on in the shower, at the gym or on the beach. Wear it alone with a dress on a communion or confirmation day, then keep it on with a watch or a second fine bracelet for every day.
Questions
What wrist sizes does the 5 cm extension of The Subtle Cross cover?
Wrists up to about 21 cm. The 17 cm link chain has a 5 cm extension, so the lobster clasp can close anywhere up to 22 cm; add about 1 cm to your wrist measurement for comfort.
Is it too big for a girl's first communion?
No, the cross is 25.6 x 15 mm and the whole bracelet weighs 1.52 g. On a very small wrist, check that 17 cm, the shortest setting, is not too loose before the big day.
Does a sideways cross mean something different?
No. It is the same Christian cross, simply turned so it lies along the wrist. The orientation is a matter of style, not of a different belief.
Silver or gold tone: which one should I pick?
Pick the tone of the jewelry she already wears, or of her communion medal. Both are the same stainless steel with a polished finish, only the color changes.
Can she wear it in the pool or the shower?
Yes. Stainless steel does not rust or leave a green mark on the skin. Rinse it after chlorine or salt water and dry it with a soft cloth.
How does it close?
With a lobster clasp, which hooks onto any link of the 5 cm extension. It is easy to fasten with one hand once you are used to it.

Its meaning
The first cross, traced at baptism
At a Catholic baptism, before any water is poured, the priest or deacon traces the sign of the cross on the child's forehead, and the parents and godparents do the same. It is the first cross a Christian receives. First communion and confirmation return to that moment, which is why a cross is such a common gift on those days. This bracelet keeps the sign small and light. A sideways cross, 25.6 by 15 mm, sits at the center of a fine link chain, 17 cm with a 5 cm extension, so the fit can...
Giving it as a gift
A godmother's gift for a first communion, or for a confirmation a few years later. Choose silver or gold tone to match the dress, or the medal she already wears.
