1 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Chain Necklace | 100100448750350

How to Measure

• Stone size (1 carat moissanite): a round brilliant is typically about 6.5 mm in diameter (≈1.0 CT DEW). Measure across the widest point with a ruler or calipers.
• Pendant height: measure from the top of the bail (the loop) to the bottom of the pendant to understand total drop.
• Chain length: wrap a string around your neck at the desired drop, mark it, then measure the string. Common lengths: 16 in (choker), 18 in (at collarbone), 20 in (just below collarbone), 22–24 in (upper bust).
• Chain thickness: measure the width of the chain with calipers if you plan to swap chains; ensure the bail opening is wider than the chain.
• Quick visual reference: 6.5 mm is just over 1/4 inch and slightly larger than a standard pencil eraser top.

Note: Dimensions vary slightly by stone shape and setting style. If your chain includes an extender, it may offer up to ~2 inches of adjustability—check your product details.

Materials & Composition

Moissanite (1 Carat)

• Composition: Silicon carbide (SiC), typically lab-grown and conflict-free.
• Hardness: ~9.25 on the Mohs scale for excellent scratch resistance.
• Optics: High brilliance and fire (refractive index ~2.65–2.69; dispersion ~0.104), delivering vivid sparkle.
• Weight & size: Moissanite is lighter than diamond; a 6.5 mm round is about 1.0 carat diamond equivalent weight (DEW).
• Durability: Tough and heat-resistant; suitable for daily wear when properly set.

925 Sterling Silver

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (commonly copper) for strength.
• Markings: Stamped “925” or “S925.”
• Finish: Often bright-polished; some pieces may be rhodium plated for enhanced shine and tarnish resistance.
• Skin sensitivity: Generally hypoallergenic; typically nickel-free, but sensitive wearers should verify.
• Care: Silver can naturally tarnish; regular gentle cleaning keeps it bright.

Model & Fit Information

Use this guide to visualize how the necklace may sit; individual fit varies by neck size and pendant drop.

• 16 in: sits at the base of the neck (choker fit).
• 18 in: classic length; typically rests at the collarbone (most popular for everyday).
• 20 in: falls just below the collarbone.
• 22–24 in: upper bust area; more relaxed and layering-friendly.
• Pendant drop: the pendant usually adds 10–20 mm of additional visual length below the chain.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Daily care: Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove oils and moisture.
• Cleaning: Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes; gently brush (soft toothbrush), rinse, and pat dry.
• Silver polish: Use a dedicated silver polishing cloth for tarnish. Avoid abrasive pastes or paper towels.
• Chemicals: Remove before swimming, hot tubs, exercising, or applying lotions, perfumes, and hairspray.
• Storage: Keep in a dry place, ideally in an anti-tarnish pouch or box; store pieces separately to prevent scratching.
• Professional check: Have prongs and settings inspected periodically, especially if worn daily.
• Ultrasonic/steam: Moissanite is generally safe; if the silver is plated or the piece has delicate components, prefer the mild soap method.

Style Tips

• Everyday elegance: Wear the solitaire on an 18 in chain for a clean, light-catching look that complements any neckline.
• Layering: Pair with delicate silver chains at 16 in and 20–22 in for dimension without overpowering the 1 ct center.
• Match metals: Sterling silver pairs beautifully with white gold or platinum-tone pieces; add moissanite studs or a thin tennis bracelet for a cohesive set.
• Necklines: V-neck and scoop necklines showcase the pendant; for higher necklines, a longer chain elongates the silhouette.
• Occasions: From bridal to business-casual, moissanite’s bright fire reads refined without feeling too formal.
