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.

Chain width
Hard angles in one of the hardest materials in jewelry.
Atlas never asked for a lighter load. Tungsten carbide has the same attitude. This compact rectangular pendant is cut with angled, faceted planes, so light breaks across it in narrow bands when you turn. It hangs on a smooth 1.5mm snake chain, 20 in (50cm) long, and lands just below the collarbone, clear under an open collar and hidden under a buttoned shirt. Choose black or blue.
- Highly scratch-resistant tungsten
- Shower, gym, beach: leave it on
- 20 in snake chain, black or blue
Details & specs
The pendant is tungsten carbide, one of the hardest materials used in jewelry, which is why it holds a polished surface so well against daily wear. The shape is a simple rectangle cut with angled planes, so the face is never flat: light crosses it in clean diagonal lines. The black and blue colors are plated finishes.
It measures 1.4 in (3.5cm) tall, 0.4 in (1cm) wide and 0.2 in (0.48cm) thick: real presence without bulk. The included snake chain is 1.5mm wide and 20 in (50cm) long, with a smooth round profile that drapes evenly and keeps the pendant centered. Pendant and chain arrive together, ready to wear.
How to wear it
With a plain white or black tee it carries the look on its own. Under an open collar, let it sit against the skin with the top two buttons undone, and pair it with a steel or black watch to keep the tones consistent. It suits dinner, travel and weekends; tuck it under the shirt for the office.
Choosing your size
The chain is a single 20 in (50cm) length, which on most men falls just below the collarbone at the top of the chest, near the third shirt button. On a broader neck or chest it sits slightly higher. The choice is color: black is the most neutral, blue shows more color in daylight against a plain tee.
Why this piece
Hard-wearing by nature
Tungsten carbide is far harder than most jewelry metals, so the polished faces resist the small scratches that dull everyday pieces.
Geometry up close
From across a room it is a clean rectangle; up close, the angled planes give it depth.
A gift for the man who carries everything
For a partner, a brother, a friend who likes things built properly. One 20 in chain, black is the safe pick, and you have 30 days to return it.

Questions
Can the tungsten carbide pendant stay on in the sea?
Yes. Tungsten carbide does not rust, so sweat, showers and sea water are fine. Handle the slim 1.5mm snake chain gently and avoid pulling or twisting it.
Why does the faceted tungsten carbide pendant keep its polish?
Because tungsten carbide is far harder than most jewelry metals. The angled faces resist the small scratches that dull everyday pieces, so a soft dry cloth is enough to bring back the shine.
Black or blue?
Black is the more neutral option and works with almost any outfit or watch. Blue catches more color in the light and stands out a little against a plain tee.
How is tungsten different from titanium steel?
Tungsten carbide is harder, more scratch resistant and heavier. Titanium steel is tougher against hard knocks, while tungsten can chip or crack if it falls onto stone or tile.
Is the color plated?
Yes. The black and the blue are plated finishes over the tungsten carbide.
Is the pendant small or large?
Compact: 1.4 in (3.5cm) tall, 0.4 in (1cm) wide and 0.2 in (0.48cm) thick. It has presence without bulk.
Why do the faces look different as I move?
The rectangle is cut with angled planes, so the face is never flat and light crosses it in diagonal lines.
Does the warranty cover a chip?
Not if it comes from a drop or a knock, since accidental damage is not covered. The 1-year warranty covers manufacturing defects.
