Measure at home in 2 minutes
You need a strip of paper (or a string or shoelace), a pen and a ruler.
- Take a string or a shoelace and mark on it the length you are considering, for example 20".
- Hold the two marks together at the back of your neck, wearing the kind of top you usually wear.
- Look in a mirror: the lowest point of the string is where the chain will sit.
- Too high or too low? Try 2" more or less: that is one size up or down.
Already own a chain you like? Lay it flat, clasp closed, and measure it end to end. A broad neck or chest makes every length sit a little higher.
No ruler? A bank card is 3.4" long: count how many fit along your strip.

How to wear it
This shield-shaped pendant shows Saint Michael in armor over a deep red background, on a 50 cm chain that places it on the upper chest. It is a bold piece that shows well over a black or gray T-shirt or a henley, but it also sits flat under a shirt for work.
The alloy with gold-tone and red accents should stay dry, so take it off before a shower, a swim or a workout, and keep it away from perfume. It suits a father on Father's Day, a husband or son, a godson at confirmation, or someone in demanding or risky work.
Questions
Where does The Saint Michael Shield rest on its 50 cm chain?
On the upper chest. At 50 cm (about 20 in), the shield-shaped pendant is meant to be seen over a shirt.
What is the small red stone at the top?
A small red cubic zirconia set at the bail, matching the red background behind the archangel.
Will sweat at the gym dull the gold-tone wings of The Saint Michael Shield?
Yes, over time. The pendant is electroplated alloy, so take it off before training, showering or swimming.
Is it a good gift for a firefighter or police officer?
Yes. Saint Michael is the patron of police officers and is often given to anyone who stands guard or works in danger.
What is the difference between this and a Saint Michael medal?
A classic medal is round or oval; this pendant frames the archangel in a shield, with a small cross on top and colored accents.
Is Saint Michael a saint or an angel?
Both. He is an archangel, honored by the Church as Saint Michael, with a feast day on September 29.
The prayer
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
Prayer to Saint Michael, composed by Pope Leo XIII in 1886

Its meaning
Saint Michael, defender of the faithful
Saint Michael the Archangel is named in the Books of Daniel, Jude and Revelation. In Revelation 12 he leads the angels of God against the dragon and overcomes him, and Christian art has shown him ever since with sword and shield, the dragon beneath his feet. Catholics invoke him in every kind of struggle, often with the prayer that asks him to defend us in battle. On this pendant he stands armored inside a shield-shaped frame, a small gold-tone cross at the top. It is silver-tone alloy with gold-tone accents and a deep red background,...
Giving it as a gift
For a father on Father's Day, a husband, a son, or a godson at his confirmation. It also suits someone in demanding or risky work, as a Christmas gift or for every day.
