How to Measure

Use these steps to find your ideal fit for the Double-Layered Inlaid Zircon Stainless Steel Necklace.

1. Measure your neck: Wrap a soft measuring tape around the base of your neck. Note the number where the tape meets.
2. Choose inner layer length: Add 2–3 cm (about 1 in) to your neck measurement for a comfortable inner layer that sits at or near the collarbone.
3. Choose outer layer length: Add 4–6 cm (about 1.5–2.5 in) beyond the inner layer length for a balanced staggered look.
4. Check a favorite necklace: Lay a necklace flat and measure end-to-end including the clasp. This is the quoted length used by most jewelers.
5. Account for extenders: Many layered necklaces include a 2–5 cm extender. Use it to fine-tune spacing between layers.
6. Pendant/drop reference: If the design has a drop, measure from the base of your neck straight down to where you want the pendant to sit; select the chain length that places it there.
7. Layer spacing: Aim for 3–6 cm between layers so each strand is visible without tangling.

Common length guide for most necks:

• 35–38 cm (14–15 in): choker fit
• 40–45 cm (16–18 in): collarbone (ideal for the inner layer)
• 45–55 cm (18–22 in): just below collarbone (ideal for the outer layer)

Materials

Stainless Steel

• Durable and corrosion-resistant, designed to resist everyday tarnish and maintain shine with minimal upkeep.
• Generally comfortable for most skin types. If you are highly sensitive to nickel, look for 316L (surgical) grade or patch-test first.
• Strong and scratch-resistant compared to softer metals, ideal for daily wear and layered designs.

Inlaid Zircon (often cubic zirconia in fashion jewelry)

• Brilliant, diamond-like sparkle with excellent light return.
• Hardness for cubic zirconia is about 8–8.5 on the Mohs scale; natural zircon ranges roughly 6.5–7.5.
• “Inlaid” indicates stones are set within or closely into the metal (flush, pavé, prong, or bezel styles) for a smooth, secure finish.

Note: Some stainless steel jewelry is color-coated (e.g., PVD) for gold-tone or other finishes. Treat coated surfaces gently to preserve the color.

Model Information (Fit Reference)

• Typical photographed fit: inner layer 40–45 cm (16–18 in) at the collarbone; outer layer 45–50 cm (18–20 in) resting a little lower.
• On a neck circumference around 30–33 cm (12–13 in): 40 cm inner + 45–48 cm outer achieves a classic stagger.
• On a neck circumference around 36–38 cm (14–15 in): 45 cm inner + 50–55 cm outer offers similar spacing.
• Use the built-in extender (if included) to adjust the drop for different necklines.

Fit varies by neck circumference, height, and garment neckline. Measure using the steps above to match the look you prefer.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• After each wear, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils and sweat.
• Clean occasionally with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap. Rinse well and dry completely before storing.
• Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, hairspray, bleach, and strong cleaners. Put jewelry on last and take it off first.
• Water-friendly but not invincible: dry promptly after contact with water; avoid prolonged exposure to saltwater, pools, and hot tubs.
• Protect the stones: skip ultrasonic or steam cleaning for inlaid/adhesive-set stones; avoid harsh abrasives.
• Store separately in a pouch or box to prevent scratches and tangling. Keep away from excessive humidity.
• Remove before intense exercise, sleeping, or activities that could snag or impact the piece.
• Polish with a non-abrasive jewelry cloth only; do not use silver dips or gritty pastes.

Style Tips

• Everyday shine: let the inner layer skim the collarbone and the outer layer sit just below; pair with zircon studs or small hoops.
• Necklines: V-necks and scoop necks mirror the layered shape; with crew or turtlenecks, wear both strands over the fabric for a polished finish.
• Layering play: add a slim choker above or a 55–60 cm (22–24 in) pendant below for a three-tier look without crowding.
• Mix with intention: stainless steel’s cool tone pairs well with monochrome, denim, and minimalist outfits. If your piece is gold-tone coated, lean into warm neutrals and earth hues.
• Balance proportions: keep additional chains delicate so the inlaid zircon remains the focal point; avoid stacking pieces at the same length.
• From day to night: elevate with satin, blazers, or slip dresses; dress down with a white tee and open-collar shirt.
