A timeless heart pendant showcasing a brilliant 1 carat moissanite set in genuine 925 sterling silver. Refined sparkle for everyday wear or special moments.

How to Measure This Necklace

• Chain length:
  • Use a soft measuring tape (or a string and a ruler). Wrap where the necklace will sit and note the length.
  • Common looks: 16 in sits at the collarbone; 18 in falls just below; 20–22 in offers a longer, layered drop.
• Pendant size:
  • Measure height without the bail (the loop) for the pendant itself, and total drop with the bail if needed.
  • Measure width at the widest part of the heart.
• Stone size reference (1 carat moissanite):
  • Round-equivalent diameter is typically around 6.5 mm; heart shapes of ~1 ct usually span about 6.0–6.5 mm across at the widest point (actual size varies by cut).
• Bail opening vs. chain:
  • Check the inner height/width of the bail and compare with your chain’s thickness to ensure compatibility.

Tip: If you don’t have calipers, place the pendant next to a ruler with millimeters. 1 inch = 25.4 mm.

Materials & What Makes Them Special

Moissanite (Lab-Grown):

• Beauty: Exceptional brilliance and fire; refractive index approx. 2.65–2.69 with high dispersion (~0.104), for lively sparkle in all lighting.
• Durability: Mohs hardness about 9.25, suitable for daily wear with excellent scratch resistance.
• Ethical: Lab-created and conflict-free, delivering consistent color and clarity.
• Care-friendly: Resistant to heat and household temperature changes; easy to clean with mild soap and water.

925 Sterling Silver:

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver blended with 7.5% alloy for strength and longevity.
• Look: Bright, classic white metal sheen that complements the high sparkle of moissanite.
• Comfort: Generally hypoallergenic for most wearers; gentle on skin for all-day wear.
• Tarnish notes: Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time; simple care keeps it luminous.

Model & Fit Guide

• On most necks, a 16 in chain places the heart near the collarbone; 18 in sits just below; 20–22 in offers a longer, layered look.
• If you prefer a close-to-heart, everyday look, choose 16–18 in. For sweaters or higher necklines, 20 in+ adds balance.
• Pendant scale: A ~1 ct center stone (about 6–6.5 mm across, cut-dependent) reads as delicate-to-medium on the neckline. The full heart frame may appear slightly larger than the stone alone.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Daily: After wearing, wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and moisture.
• Cleaning: Soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap, brush softly (soft toothbrush), rinse, and pat dry.
• Silver polish: Use a non-abrasive sterling silver polishing cloth for tarnish. Avoid harsh dips, especially if the piece is plated.
• Avoid chemicals: Remove before swimming, hot tubs, cleaning, perfume/hairspray application, or intense workouts.
• Storage: Keep in an individual pouch or anti-tarnish bag; store dry and separate from other jewelry to prevent scratching.
• Checkups: Periodically inspect prongs, bail, and clasp; have a jeweler tighten settings if needed.

Style Tips

• Solo sparkle: Wear at 16–18 in for a classic, everyday heart-at-the-collarbone look.
• Layering: Mix with a shorter choker (14–15 in) and a longer chain (20–22 in) for dimension. Vary chain textures for interest.
• Earring pairings: Moissanite studs or delicate sterling huggies complete a refined set.
• Occasions: Perfect for anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, birthdays, or a self-love treat.
• Necklines: Complements V-necks, wrap dresses, and crew necks; adjust chain length to follow the neckline shape.
