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.

Fine engraving that only shows itself up close.
Atlas kept the sky on his shoulders and asked nothing back. Plenty of men live that way, and this cross is made for one of them. Its polished titanium steel face carries the full Our Father text, engraved in fine lettering along both bars, with a small cross mark at the center. It hangs from a 3 mm box chain, 24 in (60 cm) long, in black, gold-tone or silver.
- Wear it in the shower and at the gym
- Full text engraved along both bars
- Black, gold-tone or silver
Details & specs
The pendant and chain are titanium steel, a stainless steel alloy that holds its shape through daily wear and does not rust. The color is electroplated for an even tone across the cross and the chain, in black or gold-tone; the silver keeps the look of polished steel. The cross has squared edges and a flat, polished face that sits close against the chest.
Along both bars runs the full Our Father text in fine engraved lettering, with a small cross mark where the bars meet. From across a room the piece reads as a clean rectangular cross; at arm's length the text appears. A fixed bail holds it on a 3 mm box chain, so it hangs straight and faces forward.
How to wear it
Over a plain white or black tee, the engraving has room to be seen. Under an open collar, only the lower half of the cross shows, which suits dinner or a shirt and jacket. Keep it as the only necklace and let a watch or one ring do the rest. Black stays low-key with dark clothes; gold-tone adds warmth to them.
Choosing your size
The chain comes in one length, 24 in (60 cm). On most men that lands a few inches below the collarbone and places the cross on the upper chest, clear of a crew neckline, so it sits on the shirt rather than under it. Choose the finish that matches what he already wears: black for low-key, silver for the most neutral, gold-tone for warmth.
Why this piece
A detail for the wearer
The full text runs across the face in fine lettering, so the cross stays simple at a distance and personal up close.

Questions
Will daily showers wear down the fine Our Father engraving?
No. The cross is titanium steel, which does not rust, so water and sweat are part of its normal day. A soft cloth now and then keeps the fine lettering clean.
Will the black or gold-tone color wear?
Both are electroplated finishes made for everyday wear. Put the necklace on after perfume and keep harsh cleaners off it to keep the color even.
Can you read the engraving easily?
Up close, yes. The lettering is fine, so from a distance the cross reads as one clean shape and the text stays for the person wearing it.
Does the cross have a figure of Jesus on it?
No. It is a clean rectangular cross with squared edges and a small cross mark at the center; the detail is the engraved text along both bars.
What is the Our Father prayer?
The Our Father, also called the Lord's Prayer, is the prayer Jesus teaches in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. The full text runs in fine engraved lettering along both bars of this cross.
Does the cross stay facing forward?
Yes. A fixed bail holds it on the 3 mm box chain, so it hangs straight and the engraved face stays toward you.
Which finish should I choose for my father?
Silver is the most neutral and the safest pick; it keeps the look of polished steel. Black stays low-key with dark clothes, and gold-tone adds warmth.
Can I return it if the lettering is smaller than I expected?
Yes, within 30 days of receiving it, unworn and in its original Atlas packaging. Return shipping is at your cost.
