Hollow Double Cross Pendant Necklace

Will the black hollow cross keep its color through daily showers?

Yes, water is fine: titanium steel does not rust and it can stay on in the shower, at the gym and in the sea. The black and gold-tone versions are plated, so perfume, chlorine and rubbing wear them faster than water.

Is the hollow double cross light to wear?

It feels light. The open outer frame and cutouts give it a lightweight, architectural feel, even at 4.8 cm tall.

Why does the inner cross of the double cross stand out?

Because it is solid while the outer cross is an open, polished frame. The contrast between frame and solid center draws the eye to the middle.

Does the double cross necklace go with a watch or bracelet?

Yes. The box chain is subtle enough not to compete with other accessories, and the pendant stands on its own against a simple T-shirt or sweater.

How big is the pendant?

4.8 cm by 2.7 cm, about 1.9 by 1.1 inches. It is visible over a T-shirt without being oversized.

What does hollow mean on this cross?

The outer cross is an open frame, so you see through it to a smaller, solid cross set inside. It describes the design, not a hollow tube.

Is a 50 cm chain right for me?

For most men, yes: it sits at the collarbone. If you have a broad or athletic build, it will sit closer to the neck.

Silver, gold or black: which one should I choose?

Silver for the polished steel look that goes with everything, gold-tone for warmth, black for the most discreet look against dark clothes.

Will a gold-tone cross chain hold up if I wear it every day?

Yes with a little care: water is fine, while perfume, chlorine and rubbing wear a plating faster. Put perfume on before the chain and wipe it after the beach. The base is steel, so it does not rust. Options: the Minimalist Cross Pendant Necklace or the Hollow Double Cross Pendant Necklace in gold-tone.

Gold cross pendant for a man: small or big?

Small (about 3 cm) if you wear it under shirts; medium to large (4.5 cm and up) if it sits over a T-shirt. In gold-tone: the Minimalist Cross Pendant Necklace (30, 43 or 53 mm), the Hollow Double Cross Pendant Necklace (4.8 x 2.7 cm) or the Nail Cross Pendant Necklace (56 x 35 mm).

I'm a guy and I want a cross necklace that doesn't look too small or too big. What do you suggest?

Should the chain match the color of a gold cross?
