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.

Calm, unafraid, and sure of what he holds dear.
What he believes, he lives, and he asks no one to follow. A crucifix pendant in stainless steel, with a detailed cast figure and the traditional INRI inscription at the top, polished, on a box chain just below the collarbone. The crucifix is the traditional Christian symbol of Christ's sacrifice. Natural steel, gold-tone or black. Chain included.
Polished steel, built for daily wear
A cross rests on your skin all day. The pendant and chain are stainless steel, so they do not rust and do not leave a mark. Showers, workouts and hot days are no problem. Gold-tone and black are platings.
Chain included
Atlas held up the sky. He holds his beliefs. They deserve respect.
Details & specs
The pendant and box chain are stainless steel, a material known for strength and because it does not rust. It has a solid feel and is made for everyday wear. The crucifix features a detailed cast figure and the traditional INRI inscription at the top, with crisp edges that catch the light as you move.
The whole piece has a polished finish for a clean, reflective surface. The silver version is natural polished steel; the gold-tone and black versions are plated finishes, and we say so. The box chain has a comfortable weight and frames the pendant without competing with it. It lies flat against the skin.
How to wear it
Wear it alone against a plain white tee, or let it sit under an open-collared shirt for a quieter look. The clean box chain also layers with a second, shorter chain, and it sits well alongside a watch in the same tone. Black pairs with dark clothing; gold-tone warms up neutrals.
Choosing your size
This necklace comes in one length, approx. 50 cm (19.7 in), that sits on the upper chest, just below the collarbone, on most builds. There is no size to pick, only the finish: natural steel, gold-tone or black. On a broad neck the cross sits a little higher; on a slim frame it falls slightly lower on the chest.
Why this piece
Conviction, in fine detail
A cast figure and the INRI inscription, polished: the traditional Christian symbol of sacrifice, worn with respect.

For himself or as a gift

Questions
Will the cast crucifix figure dull if I wear it in the shower?
No. Pendant and box chain are stainless steel, which does not rust, so daily showers and the gym are fine. A soft cloth afterward keeps the crisp edges of the figure catching the light.
Does the stainless steel crucifix come on its own chain?
Yes. It comes ready to wear on a stainless steel box chain of one length, approx. 50 cm (19.7 in), which rests on the upper chest just below the collarbone.
How do I care for the polished finish?
Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth and keep it away from harsh chemicals such as cleaning products. Store it apart so nothing scratches the face.
What does INRI on the crucifix mean?
INRI stands for the Latin Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum, "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews", the inscription the Gospels place above the cross. It sits at the top of this crucifix, as on traditional ones.
Is the figure engraved or raised?
Raised. It is a detailed cast figure with crisp edges that catch the light as you move, and the whole piece is polished to a reflective surface.
Can I wear it with a second chain?
Yes. The clean box chain layers well with a second, shorter chain, and it sits well alongside a watch in the same tone.
Which finish is the safest gift?
Natural steel. It is the polished metal itself with no plating, and it goes with steel watches and most clothes; gold-tone and black are plated finishes.
What if the chain sits too high or too low on him?
You can return it within 30 days of receiving it, unworn and in its original Atlas packaging, then order something else. We do not offer exchanges, and return shipping is at your cost.
