1.2 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Heart Necklace | Gold / One Size 100500612651000

1.2 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Heart Necklace

How to Measure

• Chain length
  • Wrap a soft measuring tape (or a string you later measure with a ruler) around your neck at the spot where you want the pendant to rest.
  • Match the measurement to the nearest standard length: 16 in (choker/base of neck), 18 in (collarbone), 20 in (just below collarbone). Note: fit varies by neck size and body frame.
• Pendant size
  • Width: measure the heart at its widest point.
  • Height: measure from the tip of the heart to the top. Record both heights: without the bail, and overall height including the bail (the loop that the chain passes through).
• Stone size (approximate)
  • 1.2 carat moissanite (round-equivalent) is typically about 6.8–7.0 mm in diameter.
  • Quick conversion: 1 inch = 25.4 mm. A 7 mm stone is roughly 0.28 in across.

Tip: Ensure your chain’s thickness fits the bail opening. Allow a small margin so the pendant slides freely.

Note: Measurements and carat-to-mm conversions are approximate and can vary by cut and setting style.

Materials & Craftsmanship

• Moissanite (lab-created)
  • Carat: 1.2 ct (DEW: diamond equivalent weight).
  • Durability: 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale; suitable for daily wear.
  • Brilliance: high refractive index (about 2.65–2.69) for exceptional fire and sparkle.
  • Ethical & sustainable choice: lab-grown with minimal mining impact.
• 925 Sterling Silver
  • Composition: 92.5% pure silver alloyed with 7.5% other metals (commonly copper) for strength.
  • Hallmark: typically stamped “925.”
  • Finish: bright white luster; may be rhodium plated for added shine and tarnish resistance (varies by piece).
  • Care: sterling can naturally tarnish over time; see Care Guide below.

Design & Model Info

• Design
  • Heart-shaped motif in 925 sterling silver with a brilliant 1.2 ct moissanite center.
  • Everyday-lightweight feel, made for comfortable daily wear and gifting.
• On-body reference
  • Most pendant lifestyle photos are shown on an 18 in chain, which typically sits at the collarbone.
  • Choose 16 in for a higher, choker-like look; 20 in for a slightly lower drop. Consider an extender for versatility.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Daily care
  • Last on, first off: put the necklace on after makeup, perfume, and hairspray; remove before workouts, swimming, or showering.
  • Wipe with a soft lint-free cloth after wear to remove skin oils.
• Cleaning
  • Soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap; gently brush (soft toothbrush), rinse well, and pat dry.
  • Polish silver parts with a non-abrasive silver polishing cloth. Avoid harsh silver dips, bleach, or chlorine.
  • Ultrasonic cleaners are generally safe for moissanite, but use caution with sterling silver settings, plating, or glued components.
• Storage
  • Store in an airtight pouch or box with anti-tarnish strip; keep pieces separate to prevent scratching.
  • Avoid humid environments; remove before sleeping to prevent snagging.
• Maintenance
  • Periodically inspect prongs and the bail; have a jeweler tighten or re-plate rhodium if needed.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: wear solo on 16–18 in for a clean, romantic touch.
• Layered look: pair with a shorter 14–16 in choker and a longer 20–22 in chain for dimension.
• Necklines: complements V-necks, scoop necks, and open collars that frame the heart silhouette.
• Match metals: pair with sterling silver or white gold tones; mixing metals is also on trend for a modern stack.
• Set: complete the look with moissanite studs or a slim tennis bracelet for occasions and gifting.
