Virgin Mary Cross Pendant Stainless Steel Necklace

Virgin Mary and Cross Pendant Necklace, 67cm

A stainless steel link chain carrying a Virgin Mary medal with a cross, 67cm long, in gold tone and silver tone.

What 67cm Means on the Body

67cm is a long chain. It falls to the sternum or just below on most adults, well clear of the collarbone, which suits a pendant meant to be seen against a plain top or a jumper — and it goes over the head without unfastening. If you want a devotional piece to sit high and out of sight under a shirt, this is not the length for it.

Why Stainless Steel for a Piece Worn Daily

Devotional jewellery tends to be worn constantly rather than for occasions, which rules out most plated alloys — they discolour with sweat and wear through at the points of contact within months. Stainless steel does not rust, does not tarnish and does not react with skin, so it holds up to being put on once and left on.

Care

Very little is needed. Wash occasionally in warm soapy water and dry fully. The relief in a medal collects residue, so work a soft brush around the detail rather than rubbing the flat surface.

FAQ

Can it be worn in the shower?
Stainless steel itself is fine with water. On a gold-tone finish, repeated hot water and soap will soften the colour over time, so taking it off remains the better habit.
