How to Measure Your 2 Carat Moissanite Heart 925 Sterling Silver Necklace

Use a soft measuring tape, a millimeter ruler or calipers, and a piece of string for chain length.

1. Pendant width (face size):
   • Measure straight across the widest part of the heart (from lobe to lobe), including the setting/prongs.
   • Record in millimeters for accuracy.
2. Pendant height:
   • Height without bail: measure from the heart’s cleft to the tip.
   • Height with bail: measure from the top of the bail to the bottom tip of the heart.
3. Stone footprint:
   • “2 carat” describes stone weight (or diamond-equivalent weight for moissanite), not exact millimeter size.
   • Heart-cut stones around this weight often face up near the 7.5–8.5 mm width range, depending on cut and setting (approximate guide only).
4. Chain length:
   • Lay a piece of string where you want the necklace to sit, measure the string, and choose the nearest chain length.
   • Common placements on most necks: 16 in (base of neck), 18 in (collarbone), 20 in (just below collarbone), 22–24 in (upper chest).
5. Drop length on body:
   • Measure from the back of the neck to the point where the pendant hangs on the chest to visualize the drop for your chosen chain length.

Quick reference: 1 inch = 25.4 mm. If exact mm is critical, verify with calipers.

Materials & Craft

• Moissanite (lab-created), 2 carat center:
  • Ethically lab-grown; designed to maximize brilliance and fire.
  • Mohs hardness: about 9.25 (durable for everyday wear).
  • High refractive index (~2.65–2.69) for exceptional sparkle.
  • Note: Some listings use DEW (Diamond Equivalent Weight) to describe apparent size; weight-to-size varies by cut.
• 925 Sterling Silver setting (and chain if included):
  • Composition: 92.5% pure silver, 7.5% strengthening alloy (commonly copper).
  • Often hallmarked “925” or “S925.”
  • Naturally bright white metal; may gently tarnish over time and is easily polished.
• Allergy note:
  • Sterling silver is typically alloyed with copper. If you are sensitive to specific metals or plating, confirm details before wear.

Model & Fit Guide

This guide helps you estimate proportion and on-body placement if viewing lifestyle photos.

• Most jewelry imagery is styled on 16–18 inch chains, which sit at or near the collarbone on many neck sizes.
• A heart around the 2 ct range generally reads as a refined focal point; overall pendant height with bail often falls near 14–18 mm depending on the exact setting (varies by design).
• Neck size affects placement: on smaller necks the pendant hangs slightly lower; on broader necks it sits higher for the same chain length.
• Tip: Compare with a necklace you already own; measure its total length to match the on-model look you prefer.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: put your necklace on after skincare, perfume, and hairspray; remove before workouts, swimming, or sleep.
• Daily clean: soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes, gently brush under and around the stone, rinse, and pat dry.
• Polish silver: use a soft, non-abrasive jewelry polishing cloth. Avoid harsh silver dips on set stones or plated finishes.
• Avoid chemicals: keep away from chlorine, sulfur, bleach, and household cleaners.
• Storage: keep dry in an airtight pouch or anti-tarnish bag; store pieces separately to prevent scratches.
• Professional check: periodically inspect prongs and the bail. Have a jeweler tighten settings if needed.
• Ultrasonic/steam: moissanite tolerates it well, but sterling silver settings and glued components may not; use caution and consult a jeweler if unsure.

Style Tips

• Everyday elegance: choose 18 inches for a classic collarbone look; pair with a simple tee, blouse, or knit.
• Date-night romance: the heart motif flatters V-neck, wrap, and sweetheart necklines.
• Layering: frame the heart with a 16 inch choker above and a 20–22 inch chain below for dimension.
• Mix and match: sterling silver complements white gold and platinum; keep tones cohesive for a polished set.
• Complete the look: pair with moissanite studs or huggies and a slim tennis bracelet for balanced sparkle.
• Gifting: timeless heart silhouette symbolizes love and celebration—perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, and milestones.
