Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Heart Necklace | 100500151701750

How to Measure

1) Find your ideal chain length

• Wrap a soft tape (or string) around your neck where you want the necklace to sit, mark the spot, then measure the string with a ruler.
• Fit guide:
  • 14 in (35 cm): choker, sits high on the neck
  • 16 in (40 cm): base of neck
  • 18 in (45 cm): at the collarbone (most popular)
  • 20 in (50 cm): just below collarbone
  • 22–24 in (55–60 cm): upper chest
• Note: The heart pendant adds extra “drop” below the chain; allow for this if you want a specific placement.

2) Measure the pendant

• Pendant height: measure from the top of the heart (excluding the bail/loop) to the bottom point.
• Pendant width: measure across the widest part of the heart.
• Bail opening: measure the inner height and width of the bail (loop) to ensure it fits your chain. Most slim chains are 1–2 mm thick; confirm the bail is larger than the chain thickness.
• Tip: Place the pendant on paper, mark top/bottom/side points, and measure between marks with a ruler (1 in = 25.4 mm).

3) Understand moissanite sizing

• Measure the stone across its widest part in millimeters (mm).
• Carat equivalents vary by shape; for quick reference (round-cut approx.):
  • 4.0 mm ≈ 0.25 ct
  • 5.0 mm ≈ 0.50 ct
  • 6.5 mm ≈ 1.00 ct
  • 8.0 mm ≈ 2.00 ct

Materials & Quality

Moissanite (Lab-Created)

• Brilliance and fire: exceptionally high sparkle (refractive index ~2.65–2.69; dispersion ~0.104).
• Durability: 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, suitable for daily wear.
• Ethical and earth-conscious: lab-grown and conflict-free.
• Low maintenance: resists clouding; cleans to like-new brilliance.

925 Sterling Silver

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver, 7.5% strengthening alloys (commonly copper).
• Hallmark: typically stamped “925” or “S925”.
• Finish: bright white luster; some pieces are rhodium-plated for extra shine and tarnish resistance.
• Skin-friendly: generally hypoallergenic; verify “nickel-free” if you have sensitivities.

Authenticity & Sustainability Notes

• Moissanite is commonly verified with specialized testers; many basic diamond testers may register moissanite as diamond due to thermal conductivity.
• Sterling silver is recyclable; lab-created moissanite helps reduce mining impact.

Model & Design Details

• Design: classic heart motif set in solid 925 sterling silver with a precision-cut moissanite for maximum light return.
• Look and feel: lightweight and comfortable for everyday wear, with a high-polish finish that complements the stone’s brilliance.
• Chain: often adjustable (e.g., 16–18 in / 40–45 cm) for versatile styling; check the product option for the exact length and clasp (spring ring or lobster).
• Hallmarks: “925” stamp on the pendant or clasp area.
• On-body reference: on most necks, 16–18 in sits near the collarbone and centers the heart pendant elegantly.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Daily care: after wearing, wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove oils.
• Cleaning: soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes; brush gently (especially under the stone), rinse, and pat dry.
• Avoid: perfume, hairspray, lotions, chlorine, hot tubs, bleach, and household cleaners. Put jewelry on last, after products have dried.
• Storage: keep in a dry, closed pouch or box (anti-tarnish preferred). Store pieces separately to prevent scratches; add a silica gel or anti-tarnish strip if possible.
• Tarnish care: use a silver polishing cloth; avoid abrasive powders and prolonged “dip” solutions that can wear plating.
• Ultrasonic/steam cleaners: moissanite tolerates them, but frequent use can loosen settings in silver—hand-cleaning is safest.
• Plating refresh: if rhodium plating softens with time, a jeweler can re-plate to restore a mirror finish.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: wear solo on 16–18 in for a clean, brilliant pop; pair with simple moissanite or silver stud earrings.
• Layered look: combine with a 14–15 in choker and a 20–22 in pendant; keep 2–5 cm between layers for a neat cascade.
• Neckline pairing: V-neck and sweetheart tops echo the heart silhouette; crew necks work best with 18–20 in lengths.
• Mix and match: sterling silver pairs beautifully with white gold and platinum; add a slim tennis bracelet or huggie hoops for a cohesive set.
• Occasions: perfect for daily wear, date nights, anniversaries, and bridal parties—heart motifs symbolize love and gratitude.
• Seasonal tip: adjust the extender longer over chunky knits; keep it shorter for open collars in warmer months.
