Inlaid Zircon Double Layered Heart Pendant Necklace | Gold / One Size 100500341751816

How to Measure Your Necklace

Use a soft tape measure or a string and a ruler. Measurements below help you confirm fit and layering.

• Chain length (inner and outer layer):
  • Fasten the clasp, lay the necklace flat, and measure end-to-end including the clasp.
  • Measure each layer separately (inner layer and outer layer). Note any extender length (often 2–5 cm / 1–2 in) and add it for the maximum wearable length.
• On-body drop (where it sits on you):
  • Wrap a tape around your neck to the point you want the inner heart to sit; that number equals the ideal inner-layer chain length.
  • For a classic double layer, the outer layer is typically 5 cm / 2 in longer than the inner layer.
• Pendant dimensions:
  • Height: from the top of the bail/loop to the tip of the heart.
  • Width: the widest point of the heart.
  • Thickness: side profile of the pendant.
• Chain thickness:
  • Measure the diameter in millimeters (mm). Dainty layers are commonly around 1–2 mm.
• Layer spacing:
  • Measure the vertical distance between the centers of both pendants when worn or laid flat; this shows how staggered the hearts will appear.

Tip: If you own a favorite necklace, measure it and match the inner layer to that length for a familiar fit.

Materials & What They Mean

This piece features inlaid zircon stones in a double-layered heart design. Below is helpful information about common materials used in similar jewelry so you can care for it correctly.

• Zircon stones (often cubic zirconia, “CZ”):
  • What it is: Many fashion pieces labeled “zircon” use cubic zirconia (lab-grown zirconium dioxide). It offers vivid sparkle and excellent clarity.
  • Durability: Mohs hardness ~8–8.5 (resists everyday scratches but should be stored separately to avoid scuffs).
  • Care: Clean with mild soap, lukewarm water, and a soft brush; avoid harsh abrasives and strong chemicals.
• Note on natural zircon vs. CZ:
  • Natural zircon (zirconium silicate) is a different mineral (Mohs ~6–7.5) and can be more brittle; avoid ultrasonic cleaners and heat if your piece is confirmed as natural zircon.
• Common metal bases you may encounter:
  • 925 sterling silver: Bright and precious; may be rhodium plated to slow tarnish. Best cleaned with a silver polishing cloth.
  • Stainless steel (often 316L): Highly corrosion-resistant and color-stable; comfortable for most sensitive skin.
  • Brass/copper alloy: Popular for detailed pendants; always plated. Keep dry to preserve finish.
• Plating (finish):
  • Gold-tone (yellow/rose) or rhodium-tone finishes add color and shine to the base metal.
  • To extend plating life, minimize exposure to water, sweat, lotions, and alcohol-based sanitizers.
• Skin sensitivity:
  • If you are nickel-sensitive, stainless steel or sterling silver variants are generally the safest choices.

Model & Fit Notes

• Typical on-body positions by chain length (may vary by neck size):
  • 14 in / 35 cm: choker fit.
  • 16 in / 40 cm: sits at the collarbone (ideal inner heart layer for most).
  • 18 in / 45 cm: just below the collarbone (common outer layer length).
  • 20–22 in / 50–55 cm: mid-chest.
• Classic double-layer styling spaces the outer layer about 5 cm / 2 in longer than the inner layer for a clean staggered look.
• Use the extender to fine-tune where each heart sits based on your neckline.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: Put the necklace on after makeup, perfume, hairspray, and lotions; remove it before workouts, swimming, or showering.
• Keep dry: Moisture and chemicals shorten plating life. If it gets wet, pat dry immediately with a soft cloth.
• Daily wipe: After wearing, gently wipe with a lint-free cloth to remove oils and sweat.
• Storage: Fasten the clasp and store flat or hang to avoid tangling. Keep in a soft pouch or anti-tarnish bag, away from other jewelry to prevent scratches.
• Cleaning:
  • For zircon/CZ: Soak briefly in lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, brush softly, rinse, and dry well.
  • For gold/rhodium plated pieces: Avoid abrasive cloths and chemical dips; use only gentle soap-and-water cleaning.
  • For unplated sterling silver: Use a silver polishing cloth; avoid chemical dips on pieces with stones.
• Travel tip: Place each layer in a small bag, leaving the clasp outside; this minimizes tangles in transit.

Style Tips

• Everyday romantic: Let the double hearts shine with a plain tee, open-collar shirt, or crewneck sweater.
• Dressy minimal: Pair with a slip dress or V-neck blouse; keep earrings simple (studs or huggies) to highlight the pendants.
• Layer play: Add a short, delicate choker above the inner heart or a longer simple chain below the outer heart for a curated stack.
• Mix and match: Complement with slim bangles or a tennis bracelet featuring zircon/CZ for coordinated sparkle.
• Gift-ready: Heart motifs are perfect for anniversaries, birthdays, bridesmaids, or “just because” moments.
