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.

A Norse compass framed in braided knotwork.
Atlas held the sky over every road there was. The Norse had their own sign for finding the way through. This round titanium steel medallion has a Vegvisir compass at its center, framed by braided Celtic knotwork with a knot at each corner. Raised edges catch the light and the recesses stay dark. It hangs on a 24 in (60 cm) box chain, in silver-tone or gold-tone.

Details & specs
MaterialTitanium steel
PendantVegvisir compass, Celtic knotwork
Chain styleBox chain
Length24 in (60 cm)
Pendant size1.9 x 1.6 in (47 x 41 mm), bail included
FinishSilver-tone or gold-tone
The medallion and the box chain are titanium steel, a stainless steel alloy that does not rust, so the necklace takes showers, gym bags and long days in stride. The face is polished so the raised knotwork and the compass lines stand bright against the darkened recesses, keeping every detail readable from across a room.
A solid bail holds the pendant steady and facing forward. Four Celtic knots sit at the corners, braided bands fill the field, and the Vegvisir compass anchors the center. The gold-tone version is a plated finish over the steel; the silver-tone keeps the cooler look of polished steel. Both come on the same 24 in (60 cm) box chain.
How to wear it
With a plain white or black tee, the medallion sits just below the collar and carries the outfit. Under an open shirt or a flannel, it shows in the V without competing with the fabric. Pair silver-tone with a steel watch, or match gold-tone to a gold ring or bracelet for weekends, concerts and nights out.
Choosing your size
The chain is 24 in (60 cm), which lands on the upper chest, a few inches below the collarbone, on most men. That keeps the medallion visible over a tee and inside an open collar. If he usually wears shorter chains near the collarbone, this one sits lower, which suits a statement pendant of this size. Then choose silver-tone or gold-tone.

Questions
Can the Vegvisir knotwork medallion go to the beach?
Yes. Medallion and box chain are titanium steel, which does not rust, so sea spray and sweat are fine. Wipe the raised knotwork afterward so it stays bright against the darkened recesses.
How is the knotwork Vegvisir different from the raven Vegvisir pendant?
This medallion frames the compass with Celtic knots on a 24 in box chain, in silver-tone or gold-tone. The raven version adds runes, a raven and a Valknut, on a wheat chain, in silver-tone only.
Is a 24 in chain long?
It sits on the upper chest on most men, a little lower than a collarbone chain, which suits a medallion this detailed.
What is a Vegvisir?
It is an Icelandic magical stave, a compass-like sign of eight branched arms said to keep the bearer from losing his way in bad weather. Here it sits at the center of the medallion.
Why is there Celtic knotwork on a Norse symbol?
Braided knotwork appears in both Celtic and Norse art. On this medallion it fills the field around the compass, with a knot at each corner.
Does the medallion face forward?
Yes. A solid bail holds it steady and facing forward on the 24 in (60 cm) box chain.
Does the detail show from a distance?
Yes. The raised knotwork and compass lines are polished bright against darkened recesses, so every detail stays readable from across a room.
Does it go with a flannel shirt?
Yes. Under an open shirt or a flannel, it shows in the V without competing with the fabric.
