Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Necklace | 101300030579958

How to Measure

Measure at home with a soft tape or a string and ruler for an accurate fit.

• Chain length: Wrap a tape around your neck where you want the chain to sit. Typical lengths: 14 in (35 cm) choker, 16 in (40 cm) base of neck, 18 in (45 cm) classic everyday, 20–22 in (50–55 cm) below collarbone.
• Quick formula: For a choker, add about 2 in (5 cm) to your neck circumference. For a standard necklace, add about 4 in (10 cm).
• Pendant size: If the design includes a pendant, measure total drop from the top of the bail to the bottom of the stone/setting. Stone size is measured across in millimeters (mm).
• Moissanite size guide (mm → diamond equivalent appearance): 5 mm ≈ 0.5 ct, 6.5 mm ≈ 1 ct, 7.5 mm ≈ 1.5 ct, 8 mm ≈ 2 ct, 9 mm ≈ 3 ct. Note: moissanite is sold by mm; “ct eq.” is an approximate visual comparison.
• Chain thickness: Measure the width in millimeters. 1.0–1.2 mm = delicate; 1.3–1.6 mm = everyday; 1.8–2.2 mm = sturdier for pendants.
• Extender length: If there’s an extender, measure that segment too. Total length = base chain + extender (e.g., 16 + 2 in = 18 in max).
• Layering spacing: For a clean stack, separate chains by ~2 in (5 cm).

Tip: 1 in = 2.54 cm.

Materials & Quality

Moissanite (Silicon Carbide)

• Lab-created, ethical, and conflict-free.
• Brilliant and fiery sparkle; refractive index approximately 2.65–2.69.
• Durable for daily wear (Mohs hardness about 9.25; excellent heat resistance).
• Color options range from colorless to near-colorless depending on grade; sold by millimeter size with optional “diamond equivalent” for appearance.

925 Sterling Silver

• Composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (commonly copper) for strength.
• Look for marks such as “925”, “S925”, or “Sterling”.
• May feature rhodium plating for extra shine and tarnish resistance.
• Can develop natural tarnish; easily refreshed with a silver polishing cloth.
• Generally skin-friendly; if you have nickel sensitivities, choose nickel-free sterling alloys.

Note: Specific details like stone size, chain type, and plating can vary by style. Refer to the product options above if provided.

Model & Fit Guide

• Close to collarbone: 16–18 in (40–45 cm) on most necks.
• Below collarbone: 20–22 in (50–55 cm) for a longer drape or layered look.
• High necklines/sweaters: 22–24 in (55–60 cm) for visibility over fabric.
• Gifting: 18 in (45 cm) is the most popular default; size up to 20 in for broader frames or a looser fit.
• Fit check: Compare where the pendant sits relative to the collarbone in any on‑model photo to estimate length.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: Put jewelry on after skincare, perfume, and hairspray; remove before sleep, workouts, swimming, and bathing.
• Avoid chemicals: Keep away from chlorine, bleach, sulfur, and household cleaners.
• Daily wipe: After wearing, gently wipe with a soft, lint‑free cloth to remove oils.
• Routine cleaning: Soak in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes. Brush gently with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and pat dry.
• Polish silver: Use a treated silver polishing cloth for tarnish. Avoid abrasive pastes and paper towels.
• Ultrasonic/steam: Moissanite is generally safe; avoid if the setting uses adhesives or has very delicate micro‑pavé. When unsure, hand clean.
• Rhodium‑plated pieces: Use only non‑abrasive cleaners; re‑plate with a jeweler if the finish softens over time.
• Storage: Keep in an individual anti‑tarnish pouch or box, away from humidity. Add anti‑tarnish strips or silica gel. Fasten chains to prevent tangles.
• Travel tip: Thread the chain through a straw or card slot to keep it tangle‑free in your pouch.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimalism: Wear solo with tees, button‑downs, or slip dresses for a clean, bright sparkle.
• Layered look: Pair with a shorter 14–16 in chain and a longer 20–22 in chain. Mix textures (cable, box, snake) and keep ~2 in spacing.
• Neckline match: V‑necks and wrap tops highlight a pendant; boatnecks pair well with 16 in; turtlenecks favor 20–24 in.
• Metal mix: Sterling silver complements white gold and platinum; keep cool tones for a cohesive stack.
• Event ready: Coordinate with moissanite studs or a tennis bracelet for elevated shine.
• Gift confidence: Classic and seasonless; if unsure on size, choose 18 in for most recipients.
