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.

Two sculpted hands, polished at the fingers, dark in the folds.
Atlas held still under the weight so the world could keep moving. There is a stillness in this pendant too. Two stainless steel hands are pressed together, polished along the fingers and knuckles, with ridged sleeves at the wrists and dark recessed lines that keep the shape readable. It hangs from a 2.5 mm box chain, 20 in (50 cm) long, on the upper chest, in gold-tone or silver-tone.
- Shower, sweat, sea: it stays on
- Comes on a 20 in (50 cm) box chain
- Gold-tone or silver-tone
Details & specs
The pendant is stainless steel, shaped into two hands pressed together. Polished surfaces run down the fingers and over the knuckles, while the lines between them are recessed and stay darker, so the form reads from a distance. Stainless steel does not rust, so the pendant handles sweat, showers and weather as part of an ordinary day.
Ridged sleeves at the wrists give the base texture. Above the hands, a wide, smooth bail carries the 2.5 mm square box chain, 20 in (50 cm) long, in the same tone as the pendant. Gold-tone is a plated finish over the steel; silver-tone is the steel's own polish. It arrives ready to wear, with nothing else to buy.
How to wear it
With a white or black crew tee, the hands sit centered on the chest and become the focus of the outfit. Under an open collar, undo one or two buttons and let the pendant fill the gap. In colder months, wear it over a thin knit and keep the rest simple: one watch, no other chains. Gold-tone suits warm colors; silver-tone suits gray and navy.
Choosing your size
The chain is 20 in (50 cm), the standard pendant length, which lands on the upper chest a few inches below the collarbone on most men. It suits most necks and builds without adjustment. The only decision is the finish, gold-tone or silver-tone, so the choice is about style rather than fit. If he wears a steel watch, silver-tone is the easy call.

Questions
Can the praying hands pendant stay on day and night, showers included?
Yes. Stainless steel does not rust, so the sculpted hands handle sweat, showers and weather. Keep household cleaning products away, especially from the gold-tone plating.
Will the gold-tone fade?
Gold-tone is a plated finish made for regular wear. Keeping perfume and harsh cleaners off it is the best way to keep the color even.
Does it come with the chain?
Yes. The pendant comes on its matching 2.5 mm box chain, 20 in (50 cm), in the same tone, ready to wear.
What do praying hands symbolize?
Two hands pressed together are a widely recognized image of prayer and faith, made famous by Albrecht Durer's drawing of praying hands. They read at a glance, even from a distance.
Will the shape be clear from across a room?
Yes. The fingers and knuckles are polished, while the lines between them are recessed and stay darker, so the form reads from a distance.
Which praying hands finish goes with a gray or navy wardrobe?
Silver-tone, the steel's own polish, suits gray, navy and a steel watch. Gold-tone, a plated finish, suits warmer colors.
Can I wear it over a sweater?
Yes. In colder months it sits well over a thin knit; keep the rest simple, with one watch and no other chains.
What if the bail or chain breaks?
A break caused by how it was made is covered by our 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Email us with your order number and photos; accidental damage and normal wear are not covered.
