2 Carat Moissanite Round Pendant Necklace | 100100981199354

How to Measure

Follow these quick steps to make sure the 2 Carat Moissanite Round Pendant Necklace sits exactly how you want.

• Stone size (face-up): A round moissanite marketed as 2 carat is typically about 8 mm in diameter (diamond-equivalent weight, DEW). Measure your own favorite pendant across the widest point and compare.
• Pendant drop: If you want to know where the pendant will sit, measure from the back of your neck to your desired drop point, then double that number to find your chain length.
• Chain length:
  • 14 in (35 cm): high on the neck
  • 16 in (40 cm): base of neck on most
  • 18 in (45 cm): at the collarbone
  • 20–22 in (50–55 cm): just below collarbone
  Tip: Use a string to test lengths, then measure the string with a ruler.
• Bail opening (if you plan to swap chains): Check the inner width/height of the pendant bail and ensure your chain’s thickness fits comfortably with a little clearance.
• Note on carats: Moissanite is often described by diamond-equivalent size (DEW). A “2 ct” round moissanite is generally ~8 mm in face size; actual moissanite weight differs from diamond.

Materials & Details

• Center stone: Lab-created moissanite (silicon carbide), round brilliant cut.
  • Approximate face size for 2 ct DEW: ~8 mm (about 0.31 in)
  • Durability: 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale (excellent for daily wear)
  • Optics: High brilliance and fire; refractive index ~2.65–2.69
• Setting and chain metal: See your selected variant in the product options or the hallmark on the pendant/clasp (e.g., 925 for sterling silver; 10K/14K/18K for gold).
  • Sterling silver pieces are often rhodium-finished for added shine and tarnish resistance.
  • Gold vermeil items typically feature a thick layer of gold over sterling silver; solid gold options provide maximum longevity.
• Mounting style: Classic solitaire (commonly 4-prong or bezel, depending on variant).
• Clasp: Commonly spring ring or lobster clasp; confirm in your variant details.

Model & Fit Reference

Use these guidelines to visualize scale and fit if a model image is shown, or to choose your best length without a photo:

• Stone presence: An ~8 mm round solitaire offers a noticeable yet refined sparkle suitable for everyday or occasion wear.
• Chain length choice:
  • 16 in (40 cm): highlights the pendant right at the base of the neck—great for open necklines.
  • 18 in (45 cm): the most versatile, lands at the collarbone for most.
  • 20–22 in (50–55 cm): adds more drop, ideal for higher necklines or layering.
• If you are referencing a model image: compare the stated chain length in the photo to your preferred length. For a similar look, choose the same length; for more drop, go up 2 in (5 cm).

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Daily wear: Put your necklace on last (after lotions, perfumes, hair products) and take it off first.
• Cleaning: Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap; gently brush the stone and setting with a soft toothbrush; rinse and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Ultrasonic cleaners: Generally safe for moissanite in solid gold settings. Avoid if your piece is plated or vermeil, or if you are unsure of the setting—use the soap-and-water method instead.
• Chemicals: Remove before swimming (chlorine), hot tubs, exercising, or cleaning with harsh products.
• Storage: Keep in a soft pouch or box, separate from other jewelry to prevent scratches. For sterling silver, an anti-tarnish pouch is ideal.
• Maintenance: Periodically check prongs and the bail for security; have a jeweler inspect and tighten as needed.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimalist: Wear solo on a 16–18 in chain for a clean, bright focal point.
• Layering: Pair with a shorter choker and a longer 20–22 in chain for dimension; mix textures (box, cable, or paperclip chains).
• Necklines:
  • V-neck/Wrap: 16–18 in centers the pendant within the neckline.
  • Crew/High-neck: 18–20 in gives the pendant space to stand out.
• Metal matching: Coordinate with your everyday rings or watch; mixed metals can look modern and effortless.
• Occasion upgrade: Stack with a tennis necklace or wear with simple studs/hoops for a polished evening look.
• Gifting: A 2 ct DEW round solitaire is timeless—ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, and bridal parties.
