1.64 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Necklace | 101300997361409

How to Measure This Necklace

Confirm fit and dimensions with a flexible tape measure or a piece of string and a ruler.

1. Chain length:
   • Measure an existing chain end-to-end, including the clasp, for exact length.
   • Or drape a string to where you want the pendant to rest, mark it, then measure the string.
   • Quick guide to where lengths sit on most necks: 16 in (high collarbone), 18 in (classic), 20 in (just below collarbone), 22–24 in (long/layering).
2. Pendant size:
   • Height: measure from the very top of the bail (loop) to the bottom of the setting.
   • Width: measure across the widest point of the pendant.
   • Bail opening: measure the inner height and width to ensure your preferred chain fits.
3. Stone size (face-up):
   • Measure across the top of the stone (diameter for round; width/height for other shapes).
   • Reference: a 1.64 carat round moissanite typically faces up around ~7.5–7.7 mm, depending on cut and setting.
   • Note: “Carat” measures weight; dimensions vary by cut. Moissanite is often listed in diamond equivalent weight (DEW), which approximates the look of a diamond of similar face-up size.

Materials & Craftsmanship

• Gemstone: Moissanite (laboratory-created silicon carbide) known for exceptional brilliance and fire.
• Carat weight: 1.64 carat (approximate; face-up size varies slightly by cut and setting).
• Optical performance: High refractive index (~2.65–2.69) and strong dispersion (~0.104) for vivid sparkle.
• Durability: 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale—excellent for everyday wear.
• Metal: 925 Sterling Silver (92.5% pure silver alloyed for strength, typically with copper) for bright luster and resilience.
• Tarnish behavior: Sterling silver naturally develops patina over time; many pieces receive anti-tarnish or rhodium finishing (finish may vary by style).
• Ethical profile: Moissanite is lab-created with a traceable origin and consistent quality.

Design & Fit Notes

A timeless moissanite pendant crafted in solid 925 sterling silver. The 1.64 ct center stone offers a refined yet noticeable presence suitable for daily wear and special occasions.

• Presence: A ~7.5 mm face-up stone reads as elegant with standout sparkle without feeling oversized.
• Comfort: Lightweight silver setting designed for easy, all-day wear.
• Layering: Choose 16–18 in for a collarbone highlight, or 20+ in to sit lower and layer with other chains.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: Put on after skincare, perfume, and hairspray. Remove before workouts, swimming, showering, or sleeping.
• Avoid chemicals: Keep away from chlorine, bleach, sulfur, and harsh cleaners to protect both stone and silver.
• Routine clean: Soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap; brush gently with a soft toothbrush; rinse and pat dry.
• Polish silver: Use a non-abrasive silver polishing cloth. Avoid toothpaste or baking soda on the metal or the stone.
• Ultrasonic cleaning: Generally safe for moissanite when the stone is securely set; avoid if any glued components are present.
• Storage: Keep dry in a soft pouch or anti-tarnish bag, stored separately to prevent scratches and reduce tarnish.
• Maintenance: Periodically check prongs, bail, and clasp for security; consider professional inspection/cleaning annually.

Style Tips

• Everyday classic: Wear solo on a 16–18 in chain for clean, effortless sparkle.
• Layered look: Pair with a delicate choker above and a longer 20–22 in chain below for dimension.
• Mix metals thoughtfully: Sterling silver pairs beautifully with white gold and platinum; keep finishes similar for a cohesive look.
• Earrings to match: Moissanite or diamond studs create a timeless, coordinated set.
• Necklines: Complements V-necks, scoop necks, and button-downs; choose a longer chain for high collars or turtlenecks.
• Gifting: A versatile, modern heirloom—ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, and bridal occasions.
