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.

Chain width
Numerals down one face, smooth steel on the other.
Atlas kept his footing under the whole sky. Some details are worth keeping close, and this bar keeps them on your chest. A slim, square-edged titanium steel bar hangs from a matching box chain and rests below the collarbone. Roman numerals are etched down one face; the other side is smooth and polished. It reads clean from a distance and shows its detail up close.
- Steel that does not rust in the water
- Etched numerals, smooth back
- Black, silver-tone or gold-tone
Details & specs
The pendant and chain are titanium steel, a stainless steel alloy that does not rust through daily wear. The color is applied by electroplating: black, gold-tone or silver-tone. The bar has square edges and a solid, geometric profile that feels substantial in the hand and hangs straight on the chest.
Roman numerals are etched along one face, while the opposite side is left smooth and polished. A fixed bail holds the bar on the box chain, which fastens with a lobster clasp. Turn it to the plain side when you want a cleaner look, or keep the numerals facing out.
How to wear it
With a white tee it reads as one clean line down the center of the chest. Under an open collar or a half-buttoned overshirt, it shows only the top of the bar and the chain. Match the finish to your watch or ring, and keep it as your only necklace so the bar stays the focal point.
Choosing your size
The chain is one length, 24 in (60cm), and the bar sits on the upper chest, below the collarbone, for most men. So the choice is finish: silver-tone for an everyday neutral, black for a low-key matte-dark effect, gold-tone if he already wears warm metals. On a broad chest or over a thick crew neck, expect the bar to sit a little higher.

Questions
Can the Roman numeral bar stay on at the pool?
Yes. Titanium steel does not rust, so the pool and the beach are fine. Rinse off chlorine and dry the bar so the electroplated color stays even.
Can I wear the Roman numeral bar with the plain side facing out?
Yes. The numerals are etched on one face and the opposite side is smooth and polished, so turn it to the plain side for a cleaner look.
Is it too much for work?
No. Under a buttoned shirt it disappears, and with an open collar only the top of the bar shows.
Can I have a date engraved?
No. This bar is not engraved to order: the Roman numerals come etched as part of the design, and the other face is smooth and polished.
Is the bar flat like a dog tag?
No. It has square edges and a solid geometric profile, so it hangs straight and feels substantial in the hand.
Which finish of the Roman numeral bar is the most low-key?
Black, a matte-dark electroplated effect. Silver-tone is the everyday neutral, and gold-tone suits a man who already wears warm metals.
How do I clean the etched numerals?
Wipe the bar with a soft dry cloth. For the etched lines, use a soft brush with a little mild soapy water, then dry it fully.
Does it come in another length?
No. The box chain comes in 24 in (60cm) only and fastens with a lobster clasp.
