Misuri a casa in 2 minuti
Le serviranno una striscia di carta (o uno spago, un laccio), una penna e un righello.
- Prenda uno spago o un laccio e segni la lunghezza che Le interessa, ad esempio 50 cm.
- Unisca i due segni dietro la nuca, indossando il tipo di maglia che porta di solito.
- Si guardi allo specchio: il punto più basso dello spago è dove cadrà la catena.
- Troppo alta o troppo bassa? Provi 5 cm in più o in meno: corrisponde a una taglia in più o in meno.
Ha già una catena che Le piace? La stenda in piano, con la chiusura chiusa, e la misuri da un'estremità all'altra. Con un collo o un torace larghi, ogni lunghezza cade un po' più in alto.
Niente righello? Una carta bancaria è lunga 8,6 cm: conti quante ne entrano lungo la striscia.

Come indossarlo
This small, flat cross hangs from an O-link chain that closes with a lobster clasp, so it stays discreet and lies close to the skin. Wear it alone over a plain T-shirt or a blouse, tuck it under a collar for work, or layer it with a longer chain or a saint medal.
The stainless steel does not rust, so it can stay on in the shower and at the gym. Choose the silver, gold or rose gold tone that matches the jewelry already in use. Its plain form suits a baptism keepsake, a confirmation, a godparent's gift or simply everyday wear.
Domande
Which tone should I choose: silver, gold or rose gold?
Match the jewelry the person already wears. Silver is the most neutral, gold tone is warmer against the skin, and rose gold is the softest of the three.
Is it OK to wear a cross as jewelry?
Yes, when it is worn with respect for what it means. Christians have worn the cross as a visible sign of their faith for centuries, and a plain cross like this one is made for daily wear.
Is The Simple Cross a good gift when I don't know their style?
Yes, that is what it is for. A small flat Latin cross with nothing added goes with any outfit, and every Christian tradition recognizes it.
What is the difference between a cross and a crucifix?
A crucifix shows the body of Christ on the cross; a cross does not. This necklace is a plain cross.
Can The Simple Cross stay on day and night, workouts included?
Yes. The cross, O-link chain and lobster clasp are stainless steel, which does not rust. On the gold and rose gold tones, perfume and pool chlorine are what wear the finish, not sweat or shower water.
Is it a good baptism gift for a baby?
Yes, as a keepsake to put away until the child is older, since necklaces are not recommended for babies and toddlers to wear. It is also an easy gift for a godchild's confirmation.

Il suo significato
A cross with no ornament
The Latin cross, with its longer lower arm, is traditionally the shape of the cross on which Jesus died. Early Christians rarely showed it openly; by the fourth century it had become the sign of the faith. Wearing a plain cross says two things at once: what happened on Good Friday, and what Christians believe came after it. With no figure and no ornament, it belongs to every Christian tradition, which is why it is so often given to a godchild or a friend. Here it is a small, flat Latin cross on an O-link...
Da regalare
A safe choice for a baby's baptism, a godchild's confirmation or a friend whose style you do not know well. As a Christmas gift, its plainness suits almost anyone who shares the faith.
