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.

The traveler's medal, two-tone and made for the road.
Atlas never had a day off from the weight. If your days run long and far, this medal goes with you. The oval titanium steel pendant shows a gold-tone Saint Christopher lifted out of a blackened background, with water lines and small stars in relief, inside a polished rim. It hangs on a stainless steel box-link chain, in 22 or 28 inches.
- Long drives, gym, sea: keep it on
- Gold-tone figure on a blackened field
- Two lengths: 22 or 28 in
Details & specs
The chain is stainless steel and the pendant is titanium steel, and neither rusts, which matters for a medal made to travel. The oval face carries a raised Saint Christopher in a gold-tone plated finish, set against a darkened background, with water lines and small stars picked out in relief. The contrast keeps the figure readable from across a room.
A polished rim frames the scene and carries the inscription "SAINT CHRISTOPHER PROTECT US" around the full oval. The medal hangs from an open jump ring on a box-link chain, so it turns freely and settles straight on the chest. Gold-tone, black and polished steel together give it depth without any extra ornament.
How to wear it
With a white tee and denim, the gold-tone figure stands out against the cotton. Under an open collar or a flannel shirt, it shows just enough, and it pairs well with a steel watch. On travel days, in the gym bag or on long drives, it is a piece you put on once and leave alone. Wear it as your only necklace.
Choosing your size
Two lengths. The 22 in chain sits a few inches below the collarbone, on the upper chest, and works over a tee or with an open collar. The 28 in chain drops toward mid-chest for a longer, looser look and is easier over a sweater or a hoodie. If you are unsure, 22 in suits most men; choose 28 in for a broad build.
Why this piece
The traveler's emblem
Saint Christopher is the traditional patron of travelers, which gives the medal a reason behind the design.
Depth you can read
A gold-tone figure, a blackened field and a polished rim give contrast that shows even at a distance.
For the man who carries everything
A gift for a son leaving home, a father who drives for work, a partner who is always on the move. 22 in is the safe length, and you have 30 days to return it.

Questions
Can I keep the Saint Christopher medal on during a long road trip, a swim and the gym?
Yes. The oval pendant is titanium steel and the box-link chain is stainless steel, and neither rusts. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth afterward to keep the gold-tone figure and the black field clean.
How do I keep the gold-tone Saint Christopher sharp against its blackened background?
Put perfume and lotion on before the medal and keep it away from chlorine and cleaning products, which wear finishes faster than water. A dry soft cloth keeps the contrast between the raised figure and the dark field.
Should the Saint Christopher medal hang at 22 or 28 inches?
22 in (55 cm) puts the oval medal on the upper chest, visible over a T-shirt. 28 in (70 cm) lets it fall lower, under a shirt or over a sweater, for a more discreet look.
Why is Saint Christopher the patron of travelers?
In the traditional legend, Christopher carried the Christ child across a river on his shoulders. That is why the medal shows water lines under the figure, and why travelers wear it.
What does the inscription say?
"SAINT CHRISTOPHER PROTECT US", running around the full oval on the polished rim.
Can I get it in plain silver?
No. It comes one way: a gold-tone figure on a blackened field inside a polished steel rim. The only choice is the chain length, 22 or 28 in.
Does the medal hang straight?
Yes. It hangs from an open jump ring on a box-link chain, so it turns freely and settles straight on the chest.
Can I swap the 22 in for the 28 in later?
We do not offer exchanges. Return it unworn, in its original Atlas packaging, within 30 days of receiving it, and order the other length; return shipping is at your cost.
