DIE TO SELF. LIVE FOR CHRIST.
Not a symbol of death—
of transformation.
“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.”
Galatians 2:20
The skull reminds us that this life is temporary and what we live for matters. The dagger represents putting the old self to death—the pride, selfishness and patterns that keep us from who God has called us to be.
Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him. Death to ego. Death to the old ways. New life in Christ.
True freedom begins when we surrender ourselves to Christ.
Die to Self. Live for Christ.

FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOUR CHOICE
A few honest
answers.
Fit, care, delivery, and the details that matter before you order.
How big is the Skull & Dagger?
It is 20 mm wide and 28 mm tall (about ¾″ × 1⅛″).
How do I choose a necklace length?
Measure a necklace you like from end to end, including its clasp, or measure a loop of string where you want your necklace to sit. Standard chains are 20″ or 24″. Custom chains are available in whole inches from 16–36″ for $10 extra before discounts. The illustrated fit varies from person to person.
Will the metal change color or need care?
Yes, the finish can change with time, handling, and exposure. Sterling silver can tarnish; bronze can develop patina. This is different from plating wearing away. Avoid prolonged moisture and harsh chemicals; follow the supplied care instructions. Gentle polishing changes the antique finish, so polish according to the look you prefer.
What if I have sensitive skin?
Skin reactions vary. We do not promise that any option is allergy-safe or will never discolor skin. If you have a known metal allergy, contact us about the exact components before ordering.
What comes with my necklace?
Your selected Skull & Dagger pendant, the chain or cord you choose, and a gift box. Additional packaging contents are not promised on this page.
How do the discounts work?
One Skull & Dagger necklace receives 15% off. Two receive 20% off each. Three or more receive 25% off each. Each can be configured differently. The discount includes any $10 custom-chain surcharge. Rush processing is $9.99 once per order and is not discounted. This offer cannot combine with additional product or order discounts.
When will my order ship, and what does shipping cost?
Orders usually dispatch within 2–3 business days; any exceptions will be disclosed. U.S. USPS Ground Advantage is $6.99, or free at a discounted necklace subtotal of $150 or more. USPS Priority is $12.99; Priority Express is $29.99. Carrier transit is additional to processing; these service names do not promise an arrival date.
Optional $9.99 rush processing: Monday–Friday orders dispatch by the next business day, excluding weekends and postal holidays. It speeds processing, not USPS transit.
What if I change my mind or need an exchange?
You have 30 days from delivery to return or exchange a necklace. Worn items qualify if undamaged, including custom-length necklaces. Eligible refunds cover the necklace amount paid, including the discounted custom-length surcharge. Original shipping and completed rush processing are nonrefundable.
You pay return postage. For an exchange, we cover standard shipping of the replacement within the U.S. Contact us to arrange your return or exchange.
What does the limited lifetime warranty cover?
Our limited lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, subject to evaluation and the full warranty conditions. Chain breakage may be covered within those conditions. Normal patina, aging, and wear are excluded. You pay shipping to return an item for assessment; repair fees may apply outside coverage.
