Classic Cross Pendant Necklace
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
It hangs approx. 60 cm (23.6 in) long, so the cross rests on the upper chest, visible over a crewneck tee or with an open-collared shirt.
The details
The design is stripped of all ornament, focusing on the pure form of the cross. Its flat surfaces and sharp angles create a clean silhouette. The smooth finish provides a solid block of color that does not distract.
Worn alone, it offers a quiet point of focus. Its simple chain makes it easy to wear with casual outfits like t-shirts and hoodies, or under a button-down shirt.
Specifications
How to wear it
The necklace is approx. 60 cm (23.6 in) long, so the cross rests on the upper chest and shows over a crewneck tee or with an open-collared shirt. Its block shape and flat surfaces make it a quiet, everyday piece.
The simple chain suits casual outfits: T-shirts, hoodies, a button-down worn open. Wear it on its own; if you add a second chain, keep it plain and about 2 inches (5 cm) shorter so the two stay distinct.
Why this link
The cross is stripped of all ornament: flat surfaces, sharp straight edges and a solid block of color in black or gold-tone plating over titanium steel. On its matching chain, it reads relaxed and understated. It suits the man who wants a quiet everyday cross for casual clothes.
Living with steel
- 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.
Shipping and returns
- Processed within 48 hours, then shipped with tracking. Delivery times by country are in our shipping policy.
- Free tracked shipping over NZ$110. Below that, the shipping cost is shown at checkout before you pay.
- 30 days to return it, unworn and in its original packaging. Return postage is on you, unless the piece arrived faulty or wrong.
- 1-year warranty on clasps and links. Send us 3 or 4 photos and your order number. If it's a defect, we send a new one. No need to post the old one back.
Questions
Will the black plating on the block cross wear off?
Not with normal care. The black and gold-tone finishes are platings over titanium steel, so keep perfume and chlorine off them and avoid constant rubbing. Titanium steel itself does not rust.
Does the classic cross have any engraving or detail?
No. It is stripped of all ornament: flat surfaces, sharp angles and a smooth finish that reads as a solid block of color.
Where does the cross sit on the chest?
On the upper chest. The necklace is approx. 60 cm (23.6 in) long, so the cross shows over a crewneck tee or with an open-collared shirt.
Can I wear the cross under a button-down for work?
Yes. It is a quiet piece, so it sits under a button-down shirt during the day and comes out over a T-shirt or hoodie after.
Is the chain included?
Yes. The cross comes on a matching chain of approx. 60 cm (23.6 in), so it is ready to wear.
Black or gold cross: which one should I pick?
Black for the most understated look, especially against dark clothes. Gold-tone for a warmer color that catches the light.
Can I wear the cross on another chain?
Yes, if the chain passes freely through the pendant's loop. The loop should be slightly wider than the chain links.
Is it a good cross for a teenager?
Yes. It is simple, casual and easy to wear with everyday clothes.
Gold cross necklace for men, simple design?
Simple gold-tone crosses: the Classic Cross Pendant Necklace (minimalist block cross on a matching chain, gold-tone or black), the Minimalist Cross Pendant Necklace and the Slim Cross Pendant Necklace. Gold-tone plated steel: keep perfume and chlorine off it.
Can I buy a gold cross pendant without a chain?
Our crosses are sold with their chain, so you get a matched, ready-to-wear piece: the Minimalist Cross Pendant Necklace on a round box chain, the Classic Cross Pendant Necklace on a matching chain, or the Slim Cross Pendant Necklace on a Figaro chain, all in gold-tone.
Men's gold cross pendant with black accents?
The Two-Tone Inlaid Cross Pendant Necklace comes in black / gold on a matching chain, and the Classic Cross Pendant Necklace in black or gold-tone. For a gold-tone bracelet with black, the Geometric Link Bracelet with Ceramic Inlay.
What makes a cross necklace look masculine?
A strong, architectural shape, a solid chain and a matte or dark finish. Good examples: the Nail Cross Pendant Necklace (three nails bound with wire), the Classic Cross Pendant Necklace (block design, black or gold-tone) and the Textured Cross Pendant Necklace on a wheat chain.
