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 56 cm.
- 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 5 cm 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 8.6 cm long: count how many fit along your strip.

Flat bars, sharp edges, nothing extra. Three sizes to choose from.
Atlas held the world with a straight back and no ornament. This cross takes the same line. Flat, squared stainless steel bars with one polished face catch the light in a single clean stroke, on a matching box chain that keeps the pendant centered. Choose small, medium or large, from subtle to bold, and black, gold-tone or natural steel.
- Does not rust: keep it on in water
- Small, medium or large pendant
- Black, gold-tone or steel
Details & specs
The cross and the box chain are stainless steel, which stands up to daily wear and does not rust, so the necklace stays on through showers and workouts. The bars are flat and squared off, with a polished face that reflects light in one clean line rather than scattering it. No stones, no engraving, no logo.
Three finishes: natural steel, plus black and gold-tone, which are plated colors over the steel. The compact box chain keeps the pendant centered and hanging straight, so the cross stays where you put it through the day. The design is unisex and works on any frame; the size you pick decides how much of it is seen.
How to wear it
With a white or gray tee, it does the most: one line of metal on plain cotton. Under an open-collar shirt, the small or medium size sits neatly inside the placket for dinners and travel. Match the finish to your watch and rings, or wear black with dark layers for a low-contrast look that still shows its shape.
Choosing your size
Three pendant sizes: small at 1.2 x 0.7 in (30 x 18 mm), medium at 1.7 x 1.0 in (43 x 25 mm) and large at 2.1 x 1.2 in (53 x 30 mm). Small is the everyday choice for slim builds and buttoned shirts; medium works on most frames; large makes a clear statement on a broad chest or over a tee. All three hang from the same box chain.

Questions
Can the flat bar cross stay on through showers and workouts?
Yes. The cross and its box chain are stainless steel, which does not rust. Put it on after lotions and sprays so the single polished face stays clean.
Which size should I buy as a gift?
Medium, 1.7 in (43 mm), is the balanced choice for most men. Go small for a subtle look under shirts, large for a bolder pendant over a tee.
Are the black and gold-tone colors durable?
They are plated finishes made for everyday wear. Keep perfume and cleaners off the cross and wipe it with a soft cloth to keep the color even.
How big are the three sizes in real life?
Small is 30 x 18 mm, about the height of a thumb's top joint; medium is 43 x 25 mm, about the diameter of a golf ball; large is 53 x 30 mm, the height of a credit card's short side.
Is this cross unisex?
Yes. The design is unisex and works on any frame; the size you pick decides how much of it shows.
Does it have any engraving or logo?
No. It is plain: flat, squared bars with one polished face, and no stones, engraving or logo.
How does the black minimal cross look with dark clothes?
Low-key but readable. Black is a plated color over the stainless steel, and with dark layers it gives a low-contrast look that still shows the cross's squared outline.
Does the cross stay centered?
Yes. The compact box chain keeps the pendant centered and hanging straight through the day, whichever size you choose.
