Is stainless steel good for a pendant necklace?

Yes. Stainless steel resists tarnish, rust and scratching better than plated brass or zinc alloys, and it keeps its finish through daily wear. It is heavier than sterling silver but far more durable for the money.

What size is the cross and the chain?

The cross is about 2.2 inches tall, a large statement size. The chain is 22 inches long, which sits near the collarbone on most men.

Can the chain length be adjusted?

Yes. The necklace has an adjustable clasp, so you can shorten the fit. It cannot be made longer than 22 inches.

Will the tri-tone finish fade?

The stainless steel base will not rust or tarnish. The gold-toned and black accents are surface finishes, so they can dull or wear at high-friction points over years of daily wear.

Is it suitable for a gift?

It works as a gift for men who wear crosses and like a bold look. The tri-tone design is more decorative than a plain steel cross, so it suits casual and streetwear styles more than formal ones.

How should I care for it?

Wipe it with a soft dry cloth after wear and keep it away from perfume, chlorine and harsh cleaners. Store it dry and separate from other jewelry to protect the black and gold accents.
