Product Information
Long before Francis adopted it, the tau belonged to the Antonine monks, who wore it in blue on black habits and ran hospitals across medieval Europe. A gold-plated Tau cross, textured in a bubbled dot pattern, holds a single cubic zirconia stone near its center.
"Let us not become weary in doing good." - Galatians 6:9

Caring for Your Marina Jewelry
Your piece is 925 sterling silver with a 14K gold-plated finish. With a little care, the warm gold tone will last for years.
- Store it in its pouch or box, away from other jewelry that could rub against the plating.
- Put it on last, after perfume, lotion or hairspray, and take it off before swimming, bathing or exercising.
- Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Skip polishing cloths, dips and abrasive cleaners, which wear plating down.
- If your piece includes stones or enamel, keep it out of water and cleaning solutions.
Designed in the Holy Land since 1983 - made to be worn, and made to last.

Chain Length Guide
Every Marina pendant necklace comes with a fine box chain in 925 sterling silver, gold-plated on our gold-plated pieces, in the five lengths below. Here's how to find the one that sits exactly where you want it.

How to Find Your Necklace Length
Option 1: Measure a necklace you already own
Lay a necklace that sits well on you flat on a table and measure it end to end, including the clasp.
Option 2: Measure your neck
Wrap a soft tape measure loosely around the base of your neck, where you'd like the necklace to sit. Add 2 inches (5 cm) for a comfortable, close fit, or 4 inches (10 cm) or more if you want it to hang lower and drape over clothing.
Option 3: Not sure, or buying as a gift?
17.7" (45 cm) is the safest length for a gift, since it suits nearly any neck size and looks right with almost any neckline.
Necklace Length Chart
| Length | Style | Where It Falls | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16.5" (42 cm) | Short | Close to the base of the neck | Off-shoulder tops, boat necks, or as the shortest piece in a layered look |
| 17.7" (45 cm) | Princess | At the collarbone | Our most popular length, works with almost any neckline |
| 19.7" (50 cm) | Princess (long) | Just below the collarbone | Crew necks and everyday wear, with a little more room to move |
| 21.7" (55 cm) | Matinee | Between the collarbone and bust | Lower or open necklines, or a pendant you want sitting a bit lower |
| 23.6" (60 cm) | Matinee (long) | Just above the bust | Layering under a shorter piece, or worn alone over higher necklines |
A few tips for an accurate fit
- The quoted length always includes the clasp, so measure loosely, not pulled tight
- A pendant hangs below the chain length, so factor in the drop when picking a length
- Petite frames wear each length a little shorter than the chart suggests; taller frames, a little longer
- Building a small layering set? 16.5", 19.7" and 23.6" (42, 50 and 60 cm) work well stacked together without tangling
- Our solid 14K gold pendants are sold as a pendant only, without a chain
Still Not Sure?
