1 Carat Moissanite Pendant 925 Sterling Silver Necklace | 101300450623011

How to Measure Your Necklace

• Pendant height: measure from the bottom of the setting to the top of the bail (loop). Also note the height excluding the bail for stone-only size.
• Pendant width: measure the widest point across the setting.
• Stone size: a 1.00 ct moissanite (round) typically faces up at about 6.5 mm in diameter (≈ 0.26 in). Measure across the stone from edge to edge.
• Bail opening: measure the inner width and height of the bail to confirm your preferred chain fits.
• Chain length: lay the chain flat and measure end to end, including the clasp. No chain to reference? Wrap a string where you want the pendant to sit, mark it, then measure the string.
• Chain thickness: measure with calipers or compare to a millimeter ruler. Many solitaire pendants look balanced on ~1.0–1.2 mm chains.
• Quick conversions:
  • 1 inch = 25.4 mm
  • 6.5 mm ≈ 0.26 inch

Materials & Craft

• Moissanite (Lab-Grown)
  • Composition: silicon carbide, grown in a lab to be ethical and conflict-free.
  • Carat: 1.00 ct DEW (diamond equivalent weight; sized to match a 1 ct diamond’s face-up look).
  • Approximate size: ~6.5 mm for a round brilliant.
  • Hardness: 9.25 on the Mohs scale for excellent scratch resistance.
  • Brilliance: high refractive index (≈2.65–2.69) and strong fire/dispersion.
  • Appearance: typically near-colorless and eye-clean; exact color/clarity may vary by batch.
• 925 Sterling Silver
  • Alloy: 92.5% pure silver blended with 7.5% metals (commonly copper) for strength.
  • Finish: many sterling pieces are rhodium plated to enhance shine and resist tarnish; if unplated, occasional polishing is recommended.
  • Sensitivity: nickel content can vary by alloy; if you have sensitivities, confirm nickel-free status in the product options.
• Setting & Chain
  • Secure solitaire design (prong or bezel); crafted to maximize light return.
  • Common chain lengths offered: 16, 18, 20 inches. Choose based on the fit guide below.

Model & Fit Guide

Use these references to visualize how the necklace will sit and how the stone reads in scale.

• Stone scale: a 6.5 mm solitaire reads as a refined, everyday sparkle—noticeable but still minimal.
• Typical chain placements on most necks:
  • 16 in: sits at the base of the neck (close fit).
  • 18 in: rests at the collarbone (most popular and gift-friendly).
  • 20 in: falls just below the collarbone for a little extra drop.
• Layering: leave about 2 inches between chains for a clean stack.
• Neck circumference guide:
  • 12–13 in neck: 16 in is close; 18 in relaxed at the collarbone.
  • 14–15 in neck: 18 in at the collarbone; 20 in just below.
  • 16 in+ neck: start at 20 in for a collarbone-level look.

Note: Editorial/model photos commonly use an 18 in chain for scale. Refer to the product options for the exact chain length included.

Care Guide (Keep It Lovely Longer)

• After wear: wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove skin oils and restore sparkle.
• Routine clean: soak 10–15 minutes in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap; gently brush under the stone and around the setting; rinse and pat dry.
• Deep clean: moissanite tolerates ultrasonic/steam cleaning; ensure the sterling silver setting is secure and free of glued parts before using machines.
• Avoid chemicals: remove before swimming, hot tubs, cleaning agents, perfume, hairspray, and lotions.
• Storage: keep in an anti-tarnish pouch or box, away from humidity; store separately—moissanite’s hardness can scratch softer gems and metals.
• Tarnish tips: wear often, wipe after wear, and use a silver polishing cloth as needed. Use silver dips sparingly and rinse thoroughly (they can remove intentional antiquing).
• Security check: occasionally inspect prongs and the bail; visit a jeweler if you notice any looseness.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: wear solo on an 18 in chain for effortless sparkle with shirts, tees, and knits.
• Layered stack: pair with a 16 in choker and a 20–22 in pendant for dimension.
• Mix metals: sterling silver pairs beautifully with white gold and platinum; add moissanite studs or a slim tennis bracelet for a cohesive set.
• Match to necklines:
  • V-neck: 18–20 in complements the plunge.
  • Scoop/Crew: 16–18 in keeps the pendant inside the neckline.
  • Button-down: 20 in worn over the collar for a modern look.
• Occasions: subtle for daily wear, bright enough for bridal, anniversary, and evening events.
• Gifting: if unsure, choose an 18 in chain—flattering on most and easy to layer.
