1.2 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Necklace | Gold / One Size 100500915341946

How to Measure Your Necklace

1. Chain length:
   • Use a soft measuring tape around your neck to find your preferred drop, or loop a string, mark it, then measure against a ruler.
   • Common lengths: 16 in (40 cm), 18 in (45 cm), 20 in (50 cm). Drop length is roughly half the chain length.
2. Pendant size:
   • Height: measure from the top of the bail (if present) to the bottom of the pendant.
   • Width: measure the widest point of the pendant/setting.
   • Thickness: measure the profile from front to back for a sense of depth.
3. Stone size (1.2 ct moissanite):
   • Round brilliant equivalents typically measure about 6.8–7.0 mm in diameter for ~1.2 ct, depending on cut and brand.
   • Measure with calipers across the widest part (diameter for round, long axis for fancy shapes).
   • Note: Some listings state moissanite size as DEW (diamond equivalent weight). Millimeter size is the most reliable reference.
4. Bail opening:
   • Measure the inner height/width of the bail to ensure your alternate chains will fit. Compare with your chain’s thickness.

Small variations (±0.2 mm) can occur due to hand finishing and setting style.

Materials & Quality

Moissanite (Lab-Created)

• Composition: Silicon carbide (SiC), lab-grown for consistent quality and sparkle.
• Hardness: ~9.25 on the Mohs scale for excellent scratch resistance in daily wear.
• Brilliance: High refractive index (~2.65–2.69) for exceptional fire and scintillation.
• Color/clarity: Typically near-colorless and eye-clean; exact grading can vary by stone and batch.

925 Sterling Silver

• Alloy: 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% copper (or similar) for strength; look for the “925” hallmark.
• Finish: Bright white luster; some styles include a rhodium finish for extra shine and tarnish resistance (finish may vary by variant).
• Skin friendliness: Generally suitable for most skin types; if you have severe metal sensitivities, verify alloy details for your piece.

Model & Fit Guide

Use this quick guide to visualize how the necklace sits. Fit varies by neck size and personal preference.

• 16 in (40 cm): At/just above the collarbone; a classic, close-to-neck look.
• 18 in (45 cm): Just below the collarbone; our most popular everyday length.
• 20–22 in (50–55 cm): Lower on the décolletage; great for layering or higher necklines.

Stone reference: a 1.2 ct round moissanite is commonly ~6.8–7.0 mm in diameter. Total pendant drop (stone + setting + bail) often ranges ~10–12 mm, depending on design.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Wipe after wear with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove skin oils and sweat.
• Clean monthly: soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes, brush gently with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
• Avoid harsh chemicals (bleach, chlorine, ammonia), pools/hot tubs, and spraying perfume or hairspray directly on the jewelry.
• Remove before workouts, showering, and sleep to reduce chain stress and minimize scratches.
• Store individually in an airtight pouch or box with an anti-tarnish strip; keep pieces separated to prevent rubbing.
• Use a silver polishing cloth for tarnish; avoid abrasive creams that can scratch the metal.
• Ultrasonic cleaning is generally safe for moissanite, but delicate silver settings or glued components may not be—use with caution.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimalism: wear solo on an 18 in chain with tees, blouses, or knits.
• Layering: combine with a 14–16 in choker above and a 20–22 in pendant below for dimension.
• Necklines: pair with V-necks and scoop necks; choose a length that mirrors the neckline shape.
• Monotone mix: sterling silver stacks beautifully with white gold or platinum pieces for a clean, modern look.
• Evening sparkle: add moissanite studs or a tennis-style bracelet to elevate for special occasions.
• Gifting: timeless and versatile—ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, and bridal parties.
