1 Carat Moissanite Heart Pendant Necklace | 101300479494551

How to Measure

Use the quick steps below to choose the right chain length and visualize the pendant size for the 1 Carat Moissanite Heart Pendant Necklace.

• Chain length (where it sits):
  • 14 in (35.5 cm): high on the neck (choker fit).
  • 16 in (40.5 cm): at the collarbone on most necks.
  • 18 in (45.5 cm): just below the collarbone; most popular everyday length.
  • 20–22 in (50.8–55.9 cm): mid-chest layering length.
• At-home sizing method:
  • Wrap a string or flexible tape around your neck to the spot where you want the pendant to rest. Mark it and measure the length against a ruler.
  • If you have a favorite necklace, lay it flat and measure end-to-end including the clasp.
  • Simple rule: desired length ≈ your neck circumference + 2–4 in (5–10 cm), depending on how low you want the pendant to fall.
• Pendant size reference (1 ct heart moissanite):
  • Stone only: approximately 6.0–6.5 mm across at the widest point (size varies slightly by cut and brand).
  • Pendant including setting: typically ~8–10 mm wide; total height with bail can be ~12–15 mm.
  • Visual tip: 6 mm is close to the width of a standard pencil eraser.
• Chain thickness and bail opening:
  • Fine everyday chains are commonly 0.8–1.2 mm thick.
  • Ensure the pendant’s bail opening is larger than your chain thickness. If changing chains, measure the chain with a ruler or calipers.

Note: Dimensions can vary slightly with different settings and chain styles.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Moissanite (Center Stone)

• Type: Lab-created moissanite (silicon carbide).
• Carat: 1 carat equivalent (ct. eq.).
• Hardness: 9.25 on the Mohs scale for excellent everyday durability.
• Brilliance: High refractive index (~2.65–2.69) for exceptional sparkle and fire.
• Ethics: Lab-grown, making it a consistent and responsible alternative to mined stones.

Metal (Setting & Chain)

The necklace may be offered in various metal options depending on the selected variant. Common fine-jewelry choices include:

• 925 Sterling Silver: 92.5% silver alloy; frequently finished with rhodium for added shine and tarnish resistance.
• 14K Gold: 58.5% pure gold for a balance of strength and warmth (available in yellow, white, or rose tones depending on variant).
• 18K Gold: 75% pure gold for a richer hue (may be available in select variants).
• Gold Vermeil: Thick gold layer over sterling silver (commonly 2.5 microns or more).
• Platinum/Platinum Plating: Naturally bright white precious metal or plating for enhanced durability and luster.

Chain & Clasp

• Chain styles commonly paired with this pendant: fine cable, curb, or box chain.
• Clasp types: spring ring or lobster claw for secure fastening.

Exact metal, plating, chain style, and clasp type may vary by the option you choose on this page.

Model & Fit Guide

• Heart pendants at 16 in typically rest at the collarbone, creating a classic, everyday look.
• At 18 in, the pendant drops slightly below the collarbone and pairs well with scoop, V-neck, and crew necklines.
• At 20–22 in, it layers beautifully with shorter necklaces; ideal for deeper V-necks and button-downs.
• If you prefer a choker effect, choose 14 in or use an adjustable chain to fine-tune the drop.
• Fit tip: For a comfortable everyday look, choose a chain length that is 2–4 in (5–10 cm) longer than your neck circumference.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Everyday care:
  • Last on, first off: put jewelry on after lotions, perfumes, and hair products; remove before swimming, showering, or exercising.
  • Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove oils and perspiration.
• Cleaning:
  • Moissanite: soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap; gently brush with a soft toothbrush; rinse and pat dry.
  • Silver or plated finishes: avoid abrasive polishes. Use a gentle jewelry cloth; for heavy buildup, use mild soap and water only.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals (bleach, chlorine, silver dips) and ultrasonic cleaners on plated items.
• Storage:
  • Store separately in a soft pouch or box to prevent scratches and tangling.
  • Keep in a dry place; for sterling silver, anti-tarnish pouches are helpful.
• Maintenance:
  • Periodically check the setting (prongs/bezel) and clasp for tightness and wear.
  • Have a jeweler inspect and professionally clean as needed.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: wear solo at 16–18 in for a timeless, polished look.
• Layering: pair with a 14–15 in choker and a 20–22 in chain to frame the heart pendant.
• Earrings: moissanite or diamond studs, petite hoops, or huggies keep the focus on the pendant.
• Necklines: complements V-neck, sweetheart, scoop, and open-collar shirts; adjust chain length to center the heart within the neckline.
• Occasions: sweet for anniversaries, Valentine’s, birthdays, bridesmaids, or a personal treat.
• Metals: match your other daily pieces (watch, earrings, rings). Yellow gold for warmth, white metals for a crisp modern look, rose for a romantic tone.
