1.26 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Geometric Shape Pendant Necklace | 100500654391481

How to Measure

Chain length

1. Lay a necklace flat and measure end-to-end, including the clasp, with a measuring tape.
2. No tape? Wrap a string where you want the pendant to sit, mark it, then measure the string against a ruler.
3. Fit guide: 16 in sits high at the collarbone, 18 in is the classic length, 20–22 in drops just below the collarbone.

Pendant dimensions

1. Height: Measure from the top of the bail (if attached) to the bottom of the pendant. If the bail is separate, measure the pendant body only.
2. Width: Measure the widest point of the geometric frame.
3. Thickness: If possible, use calipers to measure depth for an accurate profile.
4. Tip: Record in millimeters for precision. 25.4 mm = 1 inch.

Stone size and carat check

Moissanite is commonly listed by millimeter size with a “diamond equivalent weight” (DEW). A 1.26 ct DEW typically aligns with an approximately 7.0 mm round stone. Shapes and cutting styles can vary the look.

• 6.5 mm round ≈ 1.0 ct DEW
• 7.0 mm round ≈ 1.25 ct DEW
• 7.5 mm round ≈ 1.5 ct DEW

Measure across the stone at its widest point in millimeters. Note that actual moissanite carat weight differs from DEW due to moissanite’s specific gravity.

Bail opening

1. Measure the inner height and width of the bail.
2. Compare to your chain’s thickness (and end-cap/clasp width) to ensure it will slide through smoothly.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Moissanite (1.26 carat)

• Type: Lab-created silicon carbide (no mining required).
• Optics: Refractive index ~2.65–2.69 with strong dispersion (~0.104) for vivid sparkle.
• Durability: 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale; excellent toughness and heat resistance for daily wear.
• Appearance: Typically near-colorless with high clarity; exact grading may vary by individual stone.
• Sizing note: 1.26 ct is often expressed as DEW; a round stone around 7.0 mm is common for this range.

Metal: 925 Sterling Silver

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% copper for strength and durability.
• Finish: Bright white luster; can be polished to restore shine over time.
• Tarnish: Sterling silver naturally oxidizes; routine gentle polishing keeps it brilliant.
• Plating: Many sterling pieces are rhodium plated for added brightness and tarnish resistance; confirm if this item is plated.
• Sensitivity note: Nickel content can vary by manufacturer; those with sensitivities should verify details before extended wear.

Design

• Geometric pendant silhouette for a modern, clean-lined look.
• Secure stone setting designed to highlight brilliance (exact setting style may vary).
• Chain: Standard sterling silver chain with a secure clasp; length options may vary.

Model & Fit Information

• Typical on-body reference: 16 in sits at the base of the neck; 18 in rests at the collarbone; 20–22 in falls just below.
• Pendant scale: An approximately 7 mm center stone reads as refined and wearable for everyday; the geometric frame adds visual presence without bulk.
• Layering: For a model-like layered effect, combine lengths in 2 in steps (e.g., 16 + 18 + 20 in).
• If shown on-model, the piece is commonly styled on an 18 in chain for a classic collarbone fit.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• After wear: Wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove oils.
• Routine clean: Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes. Brush behind the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse well, and dry thoroughly.
• Silver polish: Use a silver polishing cloth for tarnish. Avoid abrasive powders or pads.
• Chemicals: Keep away from bleach, chlorine pools, sulfur (hot springs), hairspray, perfume, and lotions.
• Activities: Remove before swimming, showering, workouts, and household cleaning.
• Storage: Store separately in a soft pouch or anti-tarnish bag; add a silica gel packet to reduce humidity.
• Plated finishes: If rhodium plated, avoid aggressive polishing. Re-plate with a jeweler if wear becomes visible.
• Safety check: Periodically inspect the bail and stone setting; have a jeweler tighten if there is any movement.

Style Tips

• Minimalist chic: Let the geometric pendant shine against solid tops, silk blouses, or slip dresses.
• Office polish: Pair with moissanite or silver stud earrings and a tailored blazer.
• Layered look: Mix with a shorter choker and a longer pendant for depth; echo the angular lines with other clean shapes.
• Evening: A sleek bun or low ponytail draws attention to the neckline and pendant.
• Mix metals: Sterling silver layers beautifully with white-gold and platinum for a cohesive cool-toned stack.
• Gifting: A versatile, modern choice for birthdays, anniversaries, and bridal parties.

Note: Measurements and finishes may vary slightly due to hand-finishing and stone-cutting tolerances.
