How to Measure Your Necklace

Use these quick steps to confirm the size and fit of your 2 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Necklace.

• Chain length (fit on you):
  • Wrap a soft tape measure (or a string you later measure) around your neck to the point you want the pendant to sit.
  • Common lengths: 16 in (choker/collarbone), 18 in (classic), 20–22 in (below collarbone), 24 in (mid-chest). Choose the closest length to your preferred drop.
  • Note: The pendant and bail add extra drop (typically 0.5–1.0 in / 12–25 mm).
• Pendant size (height and width):
  • Measure height from the top of the bail to the bottom of the pendant for overall drop.
  • Measure width across the widest point of the pendant (not including the bail).
• Stone size (face-up diameter):
  • A 2 carat diamond-equivalent round moissanite is approximately 8.0 mm in diameter (about 0.31 in).
  • Carat for moissanite is often given as Diamond Equivalent Weight (DEW); the millimeter size is your most reliable visual reference.
• Gift sizing tip: If you are unsure, choose 18 in for most adults; it suits many necklines and can be layered easily.

Materials & Authenticity

Moissanite (2 Carat DEW)

• Brilliance and fire: Very high; refractive index ~2.65–2.69 for extra sparkle.
• Hardness: 9.25 on the Mohs scale; durable for daily wear.
• Ethical and eco-conscious: Lab-created and conflict-free.
• Approximate size reference: 2 ct DEW round ≈ 8.0 mm face-up diameter.
• Color and clarity may vary by batch and supplier (often colorless to near-colorless). Check the product listing for exact grading, if provided.

How to verify moissanite

• Look for documentation: Some pieces include a stone report; keep any certificate if provided.
• Use a dual diamond/moissanite tester or visit a trusted jeweler for confirmation.
• Under magnification, moissanite often shows characteristic double refraction when viewed at certain angles.

925 Sterling Silver

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver, alloyed with 7.5% metals (commonly copper) for strength.
• Hallmark: Look for “925” or “S925” stamps on the chain, bail, or clasp.
• Finish: Often rhodium-plated to enhance shine and resist tarnish (varies by design).
• Allergy note: Many sterling silver pieces are nickel-free, but always check the listing if you have sensitivities.

How to verify sterling silver

• Check for a clear “925” hallmark in an unobtrusive spot.
• Silver is non-magnetic; however, non-magnetic base metals also exist—use hallmark and reputable sellers as your main guide.
• Professional tests (acid/XRF) can confirm composition if needed.

Model & Fit Information

• If shown on a model, the necklace is typically photographed at 18 in for a classic collarbone sit. Visual drop will vary with neck size and pendant design.
• General guide by preference:
  • Closer to neck/collarbone: 16–18 in
  • Below collarbone: 20–22 in
  • Layering or deeper necklines: 22–24 in
• Remember the pendant adds extra drop; consider this if you prefer a specific placement on the neckline.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Daily care: Put jewelry on last (after lotions, perfumes, hairsprays) and take off first before workouts, swimming, or showering.
• Cleaning (safe at home):
  • Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes.
  • Gently brush the stone and setting (soft toothbrush), rinse well, and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
  • Finish with a silver polishing cloth to brighten metal and reduce light tarnish.
• Avoid: Chlorine, bleach, hot tubs, harsh cleaners, and abrasive cloths; these can dull stones or wear plating faster.
• Storage: Keep in a soft pouch or separate compartment; add anti-tarnish strips or store in an airtight bag to slow tarnish.
• Professional care: Periodic check of prongs and jump rings; rhodium replating can refresh shine if the finish softens over time.
• Ultrasonic cleaning: Generally safe for moissanite and sturdy prong settings; avoid if the piece includes glued components or delicate accents.

Style Tips

• Everyday shine: Wear solo on an 18 in chain for a clean, minimal look that suits tees, blouses, and workwear.
• Layering: Stack with finer chains at 16 in and 20–22 in to frame the pendant and add dimension.
• Necklines: 16–18 in pairs well with crew and scoop necks; 20–22 in complements V-necks and wrap styles.
• Mixing metals: Sterling silver pairs beautifully with white gold and platinum; keep cool-toned pieces together for a cohesive palette.
• Occasion upgrade: For evening, combine with simple silver studs or moissanite drops and a slim tennis bracelet.
• Gifting: 18 in is the most universal length; include a polishing cloth for an elegant, ready-to-wear set.
