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 (20").
- 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 (2") 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 (3,4") de long : comptez combien en tiennent sur votre bande.

Comment le porter
This cross hangs on a fine cable chain in a silver finish, a quiet piece that sits easily at the neckline of a T-shirt, a blouse or a dress shirt. Because the words are part of the design, it is meant to be worn on top of clothing, where people can see them.
The stainless steel can be worn every day, in the shower and at the gym. It suits a confirmation, Christmas, or someone returning to church after years away. Since the hymn is often sung at funerals, it is also a gentle sympathy gift for a grieving family member.

Sa signification
John Newton's hymn, made into a cross
John Newton spent his early years at sea and became the captain of slave ships. After a violent storm in 1748 he turned to God, and he later became an Anglican clergyman in Olney, England. He wrote Amazing Grace for his parishioners, and it was published in the Olney Hymns in 1779. In later life he spoke out against the slave trade he had once served. The hymn tells his own story: grace given to someone who had not earned it. On this necklace the two words cross each other to form the cross, in...
