The Steadfast Cross

What is the difference between the double chain and the single chain?

The double chain adds a rope chain next to the box chain that carries the cross, for a ready-made layered look. The single chain is just the cross on its box chain.

Will the two chains tangle?

They are made as one piece, so they sit together in the same position each time you put it on, which keeps tangling to a minimum.

Which finish suits a man?

Black is the most discreet, silver is the most classic, and gold tone stands out most. All three are the same polished stainless steel.

Will the black finish on the Steadfast Cross wear off in the shower?

Water alone will not hurt it: the cross and both chains are stainless steel, which does not rust. The black and gold finishes last longest away from perfume, chlorine and hard rubbing.

What does the plain Latin cross of the Steadfast Cross stand for?

The Latin cross, with its longer lower arm, recalls the cross on which Christ died before rising again. Worn plainly, without a figure of Christ, it simply says the wearer belongs to Christ, which is why Christians of every tradition wear it.

Is the double-chain Steadfast Cross a good confirmation gift for a teenage boy?

Yes. The layered rope and box chains give it a modern look, while the plain cross keeps its meaning. If he prefers something simpler, the single-chain version is just the cross on its box chain.
