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 22".
- 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 2" 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 3.4" long: count how many fit along your strip.

An engraved medal on a box-link chain that will not twist.
Atlas took on the whole sky so no one else had to. If you are the one who takes things on, this medal suits you. A polished stainless steel disc with a raised outer edge carries an engraved Saint Benedict, holding the cross and the rule, framed by Latin inscriptions. A tapered bail joins it to a box-link chain, so it hangs straight. Gold-tone or silver-tone.
- Shower, gym, beach: no need to remove
- Engraved center, raised outer rim
- Box-link chain with lobster clasp

FinishElectroplated, gold-tone or silver-tone
Medal and chain are stainless steel, a metal that holds its shape and does not rust, so the necklace can stay on through showers and training. The finish is applied by electroplating, in a bright silver-tone or a warm gold-tone. Both are plated colors over the steel, made for everyday wear and finished evenly across the medal and the links.
The medal is a polished round disc with a raised edge. At its center, Saint Benedict is engraved holding the cross and the rule, framed by Latin inscriptions. A tapered bail connects it to a box-link chain that closes with a lobster clasp. From a distance it reads as one clean disc; up close, the engraving shows.
How to wear it
With a white tee and denim, the medal is enough on its own. Under an open collar or a light knit, it stays half-hidden and shows when you move. Gold-tone pairs with a gold watch or a brown leather strap; silver-tone sits well next to steel watches and a plain black band. Keep other chains off so the disc keeps its clean outline.
Choosing your size
There is one pendant size, on a chain sized to sit on the chest just below the collarbone on most men. For a closer look, wear it under a collar so the medal rests at the base of the neckline. The only choice is the finish: gold-tone for warmer skin and gold watches, silver-tone for a cooler, more neutral look.
Why this piece
Detail that rewards a closer look
The engraved figure and the Latin inscriptions turn a simple disc into something worth a second glance.
Stainless steel, worn daily

Questions
Can I wear the Saint Benedict medal while swimming?
Yes. The stainless steel medal and chain do not rust. After the pool or the sea, rinse and dry the engraved disc so the electroplated tone stays even.
Does the Saint Benedict medal show under an open collar?
Partly. Under an open collar or a light knit it stays half-hidden and shows when you move; over a white tee it is enough on its own.
Is it a safe gift?
Yes. There is no size to guess. Choose gold-tone if he wears gold watches, silver-tone if he wears steel.
Who was Saint Benedict?
Saint Benedict of Nursia was a 6th-century Italian monk whose Rule shaped monastic life in the West. On this medal he is engraved holding the cross and the Rule, framed by Latin inscriptions.
Is the Saint Benedict medal Catholic?
Yes, it comes from the Catholic tradition and is one of its most familiar medals. It is also worn simply as a meaningful piece of jewelry.
Is the silver-tone version plated?
Yes. Both colors, silver-tone and gold-tone, are electroplated over the stainless steel and finished evenly across the medal and the links.
Will the medal flip or twist?
No. A tapered bail joins it to a box-link chain, and the box links keep the medal from twisting, so it hangs straight.
How do the medal and the rim look from a distance?
From a distance it reads as one clean polished disc with a raised outer edge; up close, the engraved figure and the inscriptions show.
