Product Information
The same three-lobed shape carved into this cross is also read as the twelve apostles - three lobes on each of four arms - sent out from the center Christ himself appointed. Each arm of this cross fans into an ornate, petal-shaped cluster surrounding a round center medallion, finished in a dark beaded texture throughout.
"He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach" - Mark 3:14

Caring for Your Marina Jewelry
Your piece is handcrafted from 925 sterling silver. With a little care, it will keep its shine for generations.
- Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, ideally in the pouch or box it arrived in, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Put jewelry on last, after applying perfume, lotion, or hairspray, and take it off first when you get home.
- Clean with a soft, dry polishing cloth. Avoid paper towels or abrasive materials.
- If your piece has an oxidized (antiqued/dark) finish, do not polish those areas — the darkened detail is intentional and polishing will remove it. Gently wipe with a dry cloth only.
- If your piece includes gemstones, enamel, or pearls, do not submerge it in water or cleaning solution. Wipe clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
- Remove jewelry before swimming, bathing, exercising, or doing household chores.
Handcrafted in Jerusalem since 1983 - made to be worn, and made to last.

Ring Size Guide
Finding your perfect fit shouldn't be a guessing game. Whether you're choosing a ring for yourself or picking one as a gift, here's everything you need to get the size right the first time.
How to Find Your Ring Size
Option 1: Measure a ring you already own
Take a ring that fits the intended finger well and measure the inside diameter in millimeters. Match that number to the chart below.
Option 2: The string or paper strip method
Wrap a thin strip of paper or string snugly around the base of the finger where the ring will sit. Mark where it overlaps, then measure the length with a ruler in millimeters. Match that number to the circumference column below.
Option 3: Not sure, or buying as a gift?
The average US ring size is 7 for women and 10 for men. If you're buying a surprise gift and can't get an exact measurement, this is a safe place to start — and if it needs adjusting later, resizing is simple.
A few tips for an accurate measurement
- Measure in the evening, when fingers are at their largest
- Avoid measuring right after being out in the cold, or after a workout — fingers shrink in cold weather and swell in heat
- If you're between two sizes, size up rather than down
- Wider bands fit more snugly than thin ones, so consider going up half a size for a wide band

| 4.5 | 15.3 | 48.0 |
| 5 | 15.7 | 49.3 |
| 5.5 | 16.1 | 50.6 |
| 6 | 16.5 | 51.9 |
| 6.5 | 16.9 | 53.1 |
| 7 | 17.3 | 54.4 |
| 7.5 | 17.7 | 55.7 |
| 8 | 18.1 | 57.0 |
| 8.5 | 18.5 | 58.3 |

Chain Length Guide
Every Marina necklace is handcrafted in 925 sterling silver, and comes in the 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, in inches.
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 for a comfortable, close fit, or 4 or more inches if you want it to hang lower and drape over clothing.
Option 3: Not sure, or buying as a gift?
16" or 18" 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" | Choker | Right at the base of the neck | Off-shoulder tops, boat necks, or as the shortest piece in a layered look |
| 18" | Princess | At or just below the collarbone | Our most popular length, works with almost any neckline |
| 22" | Matinee | Between the collarbone and bust | Lower or open necklines, or a pendant you want sitting a bit lower |
| 24" | 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? A 16", 18", and 22" work well stacked together without tangling
