Script Etched Titanium Steel Bar Pendant Necklace

The piece

The pendant and chain are titanium steel, a stainless alloy that stands up to daily wear and resists rust and corrosion. The bar has a solid rectangular profile with squared ends, and the script is etched into its faces so the texture sits in the metal rather than on top of it.

The bar measures 1.5 inches long (37.7 mm) by 0.24 inches wide (6 mm) and hangs from a 24-inch (60 cm) box chain with a matching finish. The color is applied by electroplating, available in black, gold-tone, rose gold-tone and a polished steel silver.

Together the bar and the tight box links keep the whole piece narrow and vertical, which is why it layers without fighting other chains.

How to wear it

With a white tee it gives a plain outfit one point of interest; under an open shirt collar the bar sits just where the fabric opens. Match the finish to your watch or ring, gold with gold, silver or black with steel, and keep the rest simple. It works for everyday wear, travel, and under a jacket for dinner or an evening out.

Choosing your size

The chain is a single 24-inch (60 cm) length, which lands on most men a few inches below the collarbone, around mid-chest, so the pendant shows above a crew neck and falls inside an open collar. If you prefer a higher, closer fit, this one will sit lower than a standard 20-inch chain. The only choice to make is finish: silver and black for a cooler, low-key look, gold and rose gold for more warmth against the skin.

Questions

Will it hold up to daily wear?

Titanium steel is a stainless alloy that resists rust and corrosion, so it is well suited to everyday wear. The color is electroplated, so we recommend keeping it away from perfume, chlorine and harsh cleaners to protect the finish.

How do I care for it?

Wipe the bar and chain with a soft dry cloth after wearing, and store it dry and away from other metal pieces. Take it off before swimming or showering to keep the plating looking its best.

Is this a good gift?

Yes. There is no size to guess, the 24-inch chain suits most men, and the only decision is the finish: gold or rose gold for warmth, silver or black for a cooler look.
