A silver cross chain you never take off

Many men buy a cross chain to wear it every day, often without ever taking it off. This page is about that: living with a silver-tone cross chain, day and night, at work and in the water.

Every piece here is silver-tone stainless steel or titanium steel. Silver is the color, not the metal. That is exactly why they suit constant wear: steel does not ask for the care that softer metals need.

Under the shirt or over it

A cross worn under a shirt should be flat and light. Take a smooth cross on a box chain, such as the cylindrical cross or the minimalist cross in 30 mm. A cross worn over a T-shirt can be bigger and more worked: the textured cross on its wheat chain, or the Lord's Prayer cross on its 60 cm box chain.

Day to day: what steel handles

Bare silver-tone steel has no plating to lose. If you choose a black or two-tone cross, chlorine and perfume wear that plating with time.

Layering a cross with a plain chain

Wear the cross on the longer chain and add a plain chain above it, about 2 inches shorter. For example, the slim cross on its 24" Figaro chain with a 20" box or rope chain above. Keep both silver-tone. Plain chains to pair with it are on our men's silver chains page.

To choose which chain carries which cross, see men's cross pendant chains.
