Mesurez chez vous en 2 minutes
Il vous faut une bande de papier (ou une ficelle, un lacet), un stylo et une règle.
- Prenez une ficelle ou un lacet et marquez dessus la longueur qui vous intéresse, par exemple 50 cm.
- Réunissez les deux marques derrière la nuque, avec le type de haut que vous portez d'habitude.
- Regardez-vous dans un miroir : le point le plus bas de la ficelle, c'est là que tombera la chaîne.
- Trop haut ou trop bas ? Essayez 5 cm de plus ou de moins : c'est une taille au-dessus ou en dessous.
Vous avez déjà une chaîne qui vous plaît ? Posez-la à plat, fermoir fermé, et mesurez-la d'un bout à l'autre. Avec un cou ou un torse larges, chaque longueur tombe un peu plus haut.
Pas de règle ? Une carte bancaire mesure 8,6 cm de long : comptez combien en tiennent sur votre bande.

Comment le porter
At 45.5 x 34 mm this is a substantial cross, on a 60 cm (23.6 in) box chain. It falls on the lower chest, which gives a large pendant room to hang straight; over a dark T-shirt or a henley the knotwork stands out. The front is polished and the back matte, so it does not slide around against the skin.
The stainless steel does not rust, so it can stay on in the shower, at the gym or on a hike. Its size suits a man with a broad build who likes jewelry with some presence. It is a natural gift for Father's Day or Christmas.
Questions
What does Enduring Knot mean?
The name refers to the Celtic knotwork that fills the cross: lines woven over and under each other in an unbroken pattern, often read as a sign of eternity and of a faith that lasts.
What kind of cross shape is The Enduring Knot?
A cross whose wide arms flare toward the ends, filled with Celtic knotwork. It measures 45.5 x 34 mm, polished on the front and matte on the back.
Do I need Irish or Scottish roots to wear a Celtic cross?
No. Celtic crosses come from the early Christian art of Ireland and Britain, but they are a Christian sign that anyone can wear.
Why is the back matte?
The front is polished to show the knotwork; the back is matte, a finish that is softer against the skin and shows fewer marks.
Where does the knotwork on The Enduring Knot come from?
From early Christian Ireland. Irish monks filled their gospel books with such interlaced knots, joining the art of their people to the Christian faith.
Is the 60 cm chain long enough for a big guy?
Yes. 60 cm (23.6 in) falls on the lower chest on most men and still sits on the chest of a broad build, the length usually advised for a large cross.
The prayer
Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me.

Sa signification
Wide arms filled with interlace
This cross widens toward the ends of its arms, and every arm is filled with interlace. Knotwork of this kind came into Christian art through the monasteries of Ireland and Britain. The Lindisfarne Gospels, made in Northumbria in the early eighth century, set whole pages of it before each Gospel. The monks took a pattern their people already loved and placed it around the cross. Many men of Irish, Scottish or Welsh descent wear such a piece for both faith and family history. Here the front is polished, the back is matte, and the pendant...
