Find your necklace length
Where a chain sits depends on its length. Here is how each length falls on an average build.
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 56 cm.
- 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 5 cm 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 8.6 cm long: count how many fit along your strip.
| Length | Where it sits | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 46 cm | Base of the neck | Choker look · layering base |
| 51 cm | On the collarbone | Classic · everyday |
| 56 cm | Top of the chest | Versatile · with a pendant |
| 61 cm | Mid-chest | Statement · pendant-friendly |
Layering tip: pick two lengths 5–10 cm apart so each chain sits on its own.

Finding your fit

The details
The snake chain's tightly-linked scales create an unbroken surface of metal. It reflects light with a liquid gleam rather than a sharp sparkle. The medallion's raised figures create a play of light and shadow that changes with movement.
Wear it on its own as a primary focus piece. The classic design works well under a button-down shirt or as a simple accent over a plain t-shirt.
Specifications
How to wear it
The 40 cm chain with its 5 cm extender (15.7 to 17.7 in) places the medallion at the base of the neck, visible with an open shirt or over a crewneck tee. The round medallion in relief is a clear focal point without being oversized.
Wear it on its own as your main piece, under a button-down shirt or as a simple accent over a plain T-shirt. The smooth snake chain keeps the line clean. If you add a second chain, keep it plain and about 2 inches (5 cm) longer.
Why this link
The medallion shows the Archangel Michael in high relief, so the raised figure creates light and shadow that change as you move. It hangs from a round snake chain whose tight scales form an unbroken surface with a liquid gleam. It is stainless steel, for the man who wants a classic Saint Michael medal with real depth.
Living with steel
- Silver tone. This is bare steel. There is no plating to wear off. Shower, sea, gym: it can stay on. A soft cloth brings the shine back.
- Gold tone and black. A plated layer sits on the steel. Water is fine. Chlorine, perfume and constant friction wear it faster. Take it off for the pool, put your cologne on first, and it will last longer.
- What our warranty covers. Clasps that fail and links that break under normal wear, for one year. Normal surface wear isn't a defect, and we'd rather tell you now.

Questions
What does the snake chain of the Archangel medallion look like?
An unbroken surface of tightly linked scales. It reflects light with a liquid gleam rather than a sharp sparkle.
Is the Archangel medallion engraved or in relief?
In relief. The archangel figure is raised from the medallion, so light and shadow shift across it as you move.
Does the Archangel medallion show over a crewneck tee?
Yes. The chain (40 cm + 5 cm extender) places it at the base of the neck, visible over a crewneck tee or with an open shirt.
Can I wear the Saint Michael medallion under a work shirt?
Yes. The classic design works under a button-down shirt, and the smooth snake chain lies flat against the skin.
Who is on the medallion?
The Archangel Michael, shown in high relief, a traditional symbol of faith.
What does Saint Michael represent?
In Christian tradition he is a protector, often worn as a sign of protection and courage, and the patron of soldiers and police officers.
Will the snake chain catch on my clothes?
No. The round snake chain has a smooth, unbroken surface, so it moves without catching on fabric.
Can I wear it in a pool?
Take it off for the pool. The stainless steel will not rust, but the plating should be kept clear of chlorine.
