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 22".
- 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 2" 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 3.4" long: count how many fit along your strip.

Long paperclip links, a cross tag and a T-bar up front.
Atlas stood under the whole sky and stayed upright. Steady is the point here too. This stainless steel necklace pairs long paperclip links with a rectangular tag engraved with a cross, and it closes at the front with a T-bar toggle that becomes part of the look. Choose a textured cross or a sunburst cross, in polished steel or gold-tone. It rests just below the collarbone.
- Stainless steel: shower and gym ready
- Toggle clasp worn at the front
- Textured or sunburst cross tag
Details & specs
The necklace is stainless steel throughout, which does not rust, so it stays on through a shower, a workout or a swim. The paperclip links are long and polished, catching the light in flat strips as you move. The piece has a substantial feel without being heavy, which keeps it comfortable from morning to night.
The rectangular tag carries an engraved cross in one of two styles: a clean textured cross or a sunburst pattern that radiates from the center. The T-bar toggle clasp is worn at the front, next to the tag, so the closure is part of the design and easy to open. Silver is the polished steel; gold-tone is a plated finish.
How to wear it
Let the tag show over a crewneck tee, or wear it under the collar of an open button-down. The toggle and the tag create a focal point, so the necklace works on its own without stacking. The textured cross is the quieter option for the office; the sunburst has more movement for weekends. Match the finish to your watch.
Choosing your size
The necklace comes in one standard length, made to sit just below the collarbone on most men. There are two choices: finish, silver or gold-tone, and tag style, textured cross or sunburst cross. If he wears steel watches and keeps things simple, go silver with the textured cross; for more presence, gold-tone with the sunburst.

Questions
Can the paperclip chain and toggle clasp stay on for a swim?
Yes. Chain, cross tag and toggle clasp are all stainless steel, so a swim, a shower or a workout is fine. Dry the long links with a soft cloth to keep them bright.
Is the toggle clasp secure?
Yes. The T-bar clasp gives a secure hold, and since it sits at the front, it is easy to open and close without help.
What is the difference between the two tags?
The textured cross is subtle and minimal. The sunburst cross has lines radiating from the center for a bolder look. Both share the same chain and clasp.
What is a paperclip chain?
A chain of long, flat, elongated links shaped like paperclips. Polished, they catch the light in flat strips as you move.
Why is the clasp at the front?
The T-bar toggle is meant to be seen. It sits next to the cross tag as part of the design and is easy to open and close.
Which tag is more discreet for the office?
The textured cross. The sunburst, with lines radiating from the center, has more movement and suits weekends.
Which finish of the paperclip cross tag suits a gold-tone watch?
Gold-tone, a plated finish over the steel. Silver is the polished stainless steel itself and matches a steel watch.
Which combination has the most presence?
Gold-tone with the sunburst cross. Silver with the textured cross is the simpler, safer pick for a man who wears steel watches.
