Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Necklace | Silver / One Size 101300597958206

How to Measure

Use a soft tape measure or a piece of string plus a ruler to confirm fit and size.

1. Chain length:
   • Wrap a string around your neck to the desired drop, mark it, then measure the string.
   • Common necklace lengths: 14–16 in (choker), 18 in (collarbone), 20–22 in (below collarbone).
   • If there is a pendant, add 0.5–1 in to account for its height so it sits where you expect.
2. Chain thickness:
   • Measure the thickness of your chain (in mm) if you plan to swap chains; confirm the pendant bail opening will accommodate it.
3. Pendant dimensions:
   • Height: bottom tip to the top of the pendant (exclude the bail loop unless noted).
   • Width: widest point across the pendant.
   • Depth: side profile thickness, if relevant.
4. Bail opening (inside):
   • Measure the inner height and width of the bail to ensure your chain fits; allow 0.5–1 mm extra clearance over the chain thickness.
5. Stone size:
   • Moissanite is typically listed by millimeter size. For round stones, approximate diamond equivalent weight (DEW): 5.0 mm ≈ 0.5 ct, 6.5 mm ≈ 1.0 ct, 8.0 mm ≈ 2.0 ct.
6. Drop on body:
   • Measure from the base of your neck to where you want the pendant to rest. This helps choose the best chain length for your neckline.

Note: Small tolerances are normal due to manufacturing and measurement methods.

Materials

Moissanite (lab-grown silicon carbide, SiC)

• Brilliance and fire: High refractive index (~2.65–2.69) and dispersion (~0.104) for exceptional sparkle.
• Durability: 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale; suitable for everyday wear with normal care.
• Sizing: Usually specified in millimeters; any carat listed is a diamond equivalent weight (DEW), not actual moissanite weight.
• Stability: Handles normal temperature changes and daily wear; protect the setting from harsh chemicals.

925 Sterling Silver

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver alloyed with 7.5% other metals (commonly copper) for strength and durability.
• Hallmark: Often stamped 925 or S925.
• Tarnish behavior: Sterling silver may naturally oxidize; gentle polishing restores luster.
• Finish: Some pieces are rhodium plated to enhance shine and resist tarnish; if plated, avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.

If you have metal sensitivities, confirm alloy and plating details with the seller before purchase.

Model & Fit Guide

• 16 in (40 cm): Sits at the base of the neck on many body types; ideal for open necklines and layering as the shortest strand.
• 18 in (45 cm): Rests around the collarbone; a versatile everyday length for pendants.
• 20–22 in (50–55 cm): Falls below the collarbone/top of bust; good with higher necklines and for a slightly elongated look.

Fit varies with neck circumference, pendant size, and personal preference. If photos show the necklace on a model, they are commonly styled at 16–18 in for a classic pendant placement.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: Put on after skincare, perfume, and hairspray; remove before workouts, swimming, bathing, or sleeping.
• Daily wipe: After wearing, gently wipe with a soft, non-abrasive jewelry cloth to remove oils and fingerprints.
• Routine clean: Soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes. Brush gently around the setting with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and pat dry.
• Ultrasonic/steam: Moissanite is generally safe, but vibration can loosen stones and some silver finishes may dull. Use only if the setting is secure; when unsure, hand-clean.
• Avoid chemicals: Keep away from chlorine, bleach, sulfur, and strong cleaners; these can damage silver and finishes.
• Smart storage: Store dry in a pouch or box, ideally with anti-tarnish paper. Keep pieces separate to avoid scratches.
• Periodic check: If worn often, have prongs and settings inspected every 6–12 months by a jeweler.

Style Tips

• Everyday shine: Wear solo on a 16–18 in chain with tees, blouses, or office looks for a clean, classic sparkle.
• Layering look: Stack with a 14–16 in choker and a 20–22 in chain; leave 2–3 cm between layers for a tidy cascade.
• Neckline pairing: V-neck and scoop necklines spotlight a pendant at the collarbone; higher necklines balance well with 20 in+ lengths.
• Mix metals mindfully: Sterling silver pairs well with white gold and platinum tones; moissanite complements diamonds and other clear stones.
• Dress it up: Elevate for events with moissanite studs or a tennis bracelet for a cohesive, luminous set.
• Fine-tune fit: Use a chain extender for seasonal layers; switch between cable, box, or snake chains to change the vibe and shine.
