1 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Necklace | 101300400928146

Model Overview

A timeless solitaire pendant featuring a 1 carat diamond-equivalent moissanite set in genuine 925 sterling silver. Bright, durable, and designed for everyday elegance or special occasions.

• Stone: Lab-grown moissanite (1.0 ct diamond equivalent; typical round diameter ~6.5 mm)
• Metal: 925 sterling silver (92.5% pure silver with alloy for strength; often rhodium-finished for extra luster)
• Look: Clean, minimalist pendant that pairs easily with casual or formal outfits
• Chain: Common lengths are 16 in, 18 in, and 20 in (check selected option for exact length)

How to Measure

1) Stone Size (to confirm the 1 ct look)

• Use a millimeter ruler or caliper and measure the stone across its widest point.
• A classic 1.0 ct diamond equivalent round moissanite is typically ~6.5 mm in diameter.
• Conversion: 6.5 mm ≈ 0.26 in. Tip: mm = inches × 25.4

2) Pendant Dimensions

• Width: Measure straight across the setting at the widest point (usually near the stone).
• Height (without bail): Measure from the top of the setting to the bottom.
• Height (with bail): Measure from the top of the bail to the bottom of the pendant (this is the total drop).

3) Chain Length

1. Lay the chain flat and measure end-to-end including the clasp; this is the wearable length.
2. Or wrap a string where you want the pendant to sit, mark it, then measure the string.
3. Fit guide:
   • 16 in: sits at the base of the neck (choker on many)
   • 18 in: at the collarbone (most popular for pendants)
   • 20 in: just below the collarbone

4) Bail Opening & Chain Swap

• If you plan to use a different chain, measure the bail’s inner height and width.
• Choose a chain thickness that is at least 0.5 mm smaller than the bail’s narrowest inner dimension for easy sliding.

Note: Hand measurements can vary by 1–2 mm. “1 carat” for moissanite commonly refers to diamond equivalent size (DEW), not actual moissanite weight.

About the Materials

Moissanite

• Ethically lab-grown with exceptional brilliance and fire.
• Hardness ~9.25 on the Mohs scale for excellent scratch resistance in daily wear.
• Refractive index ~2.65–2.69 for high sparkle; stable color and clarity.
• 1.0 ct DEW round ≈ 6.5 mm face-up size (diamond-like appearance).

925 Sterling Silver

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver, 7.5% alloy (commonly copper) for strength; stamped “925.”
• Often finished with rhodium for added brightness and tarnish resistance.
• Silver naturally oxidizes over time; regular care keeps it bright.
• Generally comfortable for sensitive skin; if you have a nickel allergy, confirm the alloy and plating used.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: Put jewelry on after skincare, perfume, and hairspray; remove before workouts, swimming, or showering.
• Wipe after wear: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove oils and moisture.
• Storage: Keep in a dry, closed pouch or box, ideally anti-tarnish; store pieces separately to avoid scratches.
• Avoid chemicals: Chlorine, bleach, sulfur, and household cleaners can damage silver and finishes.

Quick clean (monthly or as needed):

1. Soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 5–10 minutes.
2. Gently brush the setting and stone with a soft toothbrush.
3. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry completely before storing.

• Use a treated silver-polishing cloth for the metal only; avoid abrasive pastes or paper towels.
• If rhodium-plated, skip silver “dip” cleaners; choose non-abrasive jewelry cleaners labeled safe for sterling and gemstones.
• Ultrasonic cleaning is generally safe for moissanite; use only if the setting is sound. When in doubt, see a professional jeweler.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: Wear solo on an 18 in chain for a clean, bright focal point.
• Layering formula: 16 in choker + 18 in moissanite pendant + 20–22 in simple chain for dimension.
• Necklines: Complements V-necks, scoop necks, button-downs, and off-shoulder styles.
• Pairing: Team with moissanite or diamond stud earrings and a sleek bracelet for a cohesive look.
• Mixed metals: Sterling silver pairs seamlessly with white gold or platinum pieces for a unified cool-toned stack.
• Occasions: Perfect for everyday wear, gifting, bridal parties, and “desk-to-dinner” outfits.
