How to Measure

Use a soft measuring tape or a piece of string and a ruler for accurate results.

• Stone size (approx): A round 1.0 ct diamond-equivalent (DEW) moissanite is typically about 6.5 mm in diameter. Actual size can vary by shape and setting. Measure across the widest point with a ruler or calipers.
• Pendant dimensions: Measure height (top to bottom) and width (side to side). If the pendant has a bail, note whether you’re measuring with or without the bail for consistency.
• Chain length: Wrap a string where you’d like the necklace to sit, mark the point, then measure the string. Common fall points:
  • 16 in (40 cm): base of neck
  • 18 in (45 cm): at the collarbone (most popular)
  • 20–22 in (50–55 cm): just below collarbone
• Chain thickness: If needed, measure the width of the chain with calipers (in mm) or compare to a known object.

Notes: Measurements are approximate and can vary ±0.5 mm due to setting and hand measurement. Moissanite “carat” is often listed as DEW (diamond-equivalent weight).

Materials

Moissanite (Lab-Created Silicon Carbide)

• Brilliance: Very high; refractive index ~2.65–2.69 for exceptional sparkle and fire.
• Durability: ~9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale; suitable for daily wear with mindful care.
• Clarity and color: Consistently high due to controlled growth; conflict-free and responsibly produced.
• Care friendly: Handles gentle cleaning well; see Care Guide below.

925 Sterling Silver

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver alloyed with 7.5% other metals (commonly copper) for strength.
• Look & feel: Bright, white luster with a smooth finish; comfortable for everyday wear.
• Tarnish: Natural over time; easily restored with proper cleaning and storage.
• Hallmark: Many pieces are stamped “925” to denote sterling purity (marking practices vary by region/manufacturer).

Model & Fit Information

• On most necks, an 18 in (45 cm) chain sits at the collarbone; 16 in (40 cm) sits higher; 20–22 in (50–55 cm) sits lower on the chest.
• The visual size of a 1.0 ct DEW round stone (≈6.5 mm) reads as a classic solitaire—subtle yet noticeable for daily wear and special occasions.
• Fit and drape vary by individual neck size and preferred layering style.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Everyday habits: Put on last, take off first—avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, hair products, and sunscreen.
• Water & chemicals: Remove before swimming, bathing, cleaning, or gym workouts. Keep away from chlorine, bleach, and sulfur.
• Cleaning routine: Soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes. Gently brush (especially under the stone), rinse well, and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Polish silver: Use a dedicated silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish. Avoid abrasive powders or rough paper towels.
• Storage: Keep dry, individually stored in a soft pouch or box. Anti-tarnish strips and low humidity help minimize tarnish.
• Professional check: Periodically inspect settings and clasps; have a jeweler tighten if needed.

Style Tips

• Everyday classic: Wear solo with tees, blouses, and button-downs for a clean, polished look.
• Layering: Pair with delicate chains of varying lengths (e.g., 16 in + 18 in + 20 in) to create dimension without overwhelming the solitaire.
• Necklines: Complements V-necks and scoop necks; try a shorter length for high-neck tops to keep the stone visible.
• Mix & match: Sterling silver pairs beautifully with white gold and platinum tones; moissanite layers well with diamond or minimalist silver pieces.
• Occasions: Subtle enough for daily wear, elevated enough for weddings, date nights, and events.
