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 plain cross hangs on a Figaro chain, a pattern of long and short links that gives it a classic, masculine look. Wear it on top of a T-shirt or an open-collared shirt so the chain shows, or under a shirt for work.
The polished stainless steel can stay on every day, in the shower and at the gym, without rusting. Black is the most discreet finish, silver the most traditional and gold tone the boldest. It is a natural gift for Father's Day, a son's or grandson's confirmation, or Christmas for a man who rarely buys jewelry for himself.
Questions
What is a Figaro chain?
A chain that alternates several short links with one long link. It is a classic, sturdy chain often worn by men.
Does the black Gilded Cross look less flashy than the gold one?
Yes. Black is the most understated of the three and silver the most classic, while gold tone is the most visible on the Figaro chain.
Is it a good gift for a man who does not wear jewelry?
Yes. A plain cross on a sturdy chain is one of the easiest pieces for a man to start wearing, because it means something rather than being decoration.
Is the Figaro chain of the Gilded Cross tough enough for the gym?
For training, yes: the stainless steel does not rust from sweat, and the Figaro links are sturdy. Take it off for contact sports, where any chain can catch.
What is the difference between this and a crucifix?
A crucifix shows the figure of Christ on the cross. This is a plain cross, which every Christian tradition uses.
What if the chain length does not suit me?
You can return an unworn piece in its original packaging within 30 days of receiving it, then order the length or style that fits.

Sa signification
The first prayer made with the hands
Catholics begin and end most prayers with the sign of the cross, touching forehead, chest and both shoulders, and Orthodox Christians make it many times in every service. For many children it is the first prayer they learn with their hands. A cross worn on the chest carries that same gesture through the hours of an ordinary day. This one keeps to straight, smooth arms with no figure and no stone, sized for a man. It hangs on a Figaro chain, with its rhythm of long and short links, in silver, gold or black.
L'offrir en cadeau
A natural choice for Father's Day, or for a son or grandson at his confirmation. It also works at Christmas for a man who would never pick out jewelry for himself but would gladly wear a simple cross.
