2 Carat 6-Prong Moissanite Pendant Necklace

A timeless solitaire pendant featuring a round moissanite with the brilliance of a 2.00 carat diamond equivalent, secured in a classic 6‑prong basket and suspended from a refined chain. Designed for everyday elegance and special occasions alike.

How to Measure Your Necklace

• Pendant (stone) diameter: For a 2 ct diamond-equivalent (DEW) round moissanite, expect about 8.0 mm across (≈0.31 in). To measure, place a ruler or caliper across the widest point of the stone. If measuring on the piece, measure stone edge-to-edge and avoid including the prongs.
• Pendant height/drop: Measure from the top of the bail (the loop the chain passes through) to the bottom tip of the setting. This is the “drop” you’ll see on the neckline. Typical total height for an 8.0 mm round in a 6‑prong basket is often around 12–15 mm, depending on bail and basket design.
• Setting/profile height: From the base of the basket to the table (top) of the stone, usually ~4.5–6.0 mm for a classic 6‑prong round. Measure from the side for a true profile reading.
• Chain length: Common lengths are 16, 18, 20, and 22 inches. To find your ideal length, wrap a soft measuring tape (or a string you later measure with a ruler) around your neck at the desired resting point:
  • 16 in: sits at the base of the neck on most.
  • 18 in: at or just below the collarbone (most popular gift length).
  • 20 in: slightly below the collarbone.
  • 22 in+: lower on the neckline; great for layering.
• Fit tip: Chain length ≈ neck circumference + desired drape. Add 1–2 in if you prefer extra ease or plan to layer.
• Tolerances: Hand-assembly and cutting tolerances are normal. Expect size variance of about ±0.1–0.2 mm on stone diameter and slight differences in overall drop due to bail style.

Materials & Craftsmanship

• Gemstone: Lab-created moissanite, 2.00 ct diamond equivalent (DEW). Approximate diameter: 8.0 mm for a round brilliant cut.
• Optical properties: High brilliance and fire with a refractive index of ~2.65–2.69 and dispersion ~0.104 (for intense rainbow sparkle). Moissanite is doubly refractive and expertly faceted to maximize light return.
• Durability: Mohs hardness ~9.25 for exceptional scratch resistance suitable for daily wear.
• Setting: Classic 6‑prong basket. Six evenly spaced prongs balance security and light entry, helping keep the stone centered while allowing maximum sparkle.
• Metal: The pendant and chain are typically crafted in fine jewelry metals such as 925 sterling silver or 14K gold (white, yellow, or rose) with finishing that may include rhodium for bright, white luster. Please refer to the product options or hallmark near the clasp (e.g., “925” or “14K”) for the exact metal on your piece.
• Chain & clasp: Common pairings include a slim cable or box chain (about 0.8–1.2 mm) with a spring ring or lobster clasp for secure wear.
• Ethical note: Moissanite is lab-created, offering dazzling beauty with minimal mining impact.
• About DEW vs carat weight: Moissanite is often sold by diamond equivalent weight (DEW) to reflect the visual size of a diamond. A 2.00 ct DEW round moissanite is about 8.0 mm in diameter; actual moissanite carat weight differs due to density.

Model / On-Body Reference

• Chain length shown (typical for photography): 18 inches, which sits at or just below the collarbone on many necklines.
• Pendant scale: 8.0 mm stone (≈0.31 in) reads as a classic statement solitaire—noticeable yet refined for everyday wear.
• Fit note: Visual proportions vary by neck circumference and torso length. If you prefer a higher fit, choose 16 in; for more drape or layering, choose 20–22 in.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Daily care: After wearing, wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and sunscreen.
• Cleaning: Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, then brush behind the stone and around prongs with a soft toothbrush. Rinse and pat dry.
• Avoid chemicals: Remove before swimming, hot tubs, cleaning, or applying perfume, hairspray, or lotions. Keep away from bleach, chlorine, and harsh cleaners.
• Storage: Store separately in a soft pouch or compartment to prevent the hard moissanite from scratching softer gems or metal.
• Prong check: A 6‑prong setting is secure, but inspect periodically. If the pendant snags or you hear a rattle, have a jeweler tighten the prongs.
• Ultrasonic/steam: Generally safe for moissanite; however, avoid if the setting is loose or the chain is delicate. When in doubt, use the soap-and-water method.
• White-metal upkeep: Rhodium-finished white metals may benefit from re-plating over time to refresh brightness.
• Activity: Remove before high-impact sports or heavy lifting to prevent accidental tugging on the chain.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: Wear solo on an 18 in chain for a clean, collarbone-grazing look that suits tees, blouses, and blazers.
• Layered look: Stack with a 16 in choker and a 20–22 in pendant for depth. Keep chains slim so the solitaire stays center stage.
• Necklines: V‑necks and sweetheart tops highlight the pendant’s drop; high necks benefit from a longer 20–22 in chain.
• Metal matching: Choose white metals for an icy, modern feel; yellow gold for warmth; rose gold for a soft, romantic tone.
• Pairing pieces: Moissanite studs or huggies and a slim tennis bracelet echo the pendant’s sparkle without overwhelming it.
• Gifting tip: Unsure of length? 18 in is the most versatile and flattering for most recipients.
