Silver crucifix pendant for men: where it should sit
A crucifix is worn to be close to the heart, so where the pendant falls on the chest matters more than with any other pendant. This page helps you choose the length of your silver-tone crucifix. Both of our crucifix pendants are polished titanium steel, a stainless steel alloy; silver is the color, not the metal.
The Byzantine chain with crucifix pendant, engraved with the Lord's Prayer in Spanish (the Padre Nuestro), comes in six lengths. The crucifix pendant necklace, 58 x 37 mm, comes on a 3 mm box chain of 60 cm.
Choose the length of your crucifix chain
| Length | Where the crucifix falls | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 22" | Just below the collarbone | Visible in an open-collar shirt |
| 24" | Mid-chest | Over a T-shirt, the most common choice |
| 26" | Mid to lower chest | Broad shoulders, or worn under clothing |
| 28" | Lower chest | A long, visible line over a plain top |
| 30" and 31" | Low on the chest | Tall men, or worn hidden all day |
These positions are for an average build. On a thicker neck, everything sits a little higher. The 60 cm box chain of the other crucifix is close to 24".
Hidden or shown
Many men wear a crucifix under the shirt, as something personal. In that case, longer is better: 26" or more, so the pendant stays below the collar even when the top button is open. If you want it seen, 22" or 24" over a T-shirt puts it in view.
Two chains, one meaning
Adding a plain silver-tone chain about 2 inches shorter frames the crucifix without taking attention away from it. Keep the second chain thin, a box or rope in 2 to 3 mm. You will find them on our men's silver chains page. To compare our two crucifixes in detail, see silver crucifix necklaces.
Care
Steel can stay on in the shower, the sea and the pool. Rinse it in clean water after salt or chlorine. The gold-tone and black versions are plated, and perfume and chlorine wear plating with time.
