1 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Heart Shape Necklace | Gold / One Size 100500771401326

How to Measure

1. Find your chain length:
   • Wrap a flexible tape or a string around your neck where you want the pendant to sit, mark the point, then measure the string.
   • Common lengths: 16 in (40 cm) sits at the base of the neck; 18 in (45 cm) at or just below the collarbone; 20–22 in (50–55 cm) a lower drape.
2. Understand pendant size:
   • A 1 ct heart-cut moissanite typically measures about 6.5 mm across at the widest point (≈0.26 in). The setting often adds 1–3 mm to the overall width/height.
   • Use this quick conversion: 25.4 mm = 1 inch. 6.5 mm ≈ 1/4 inch.
3. Check drop and placement:
   • To visualize, cut a strip of paper to your chosen chain length, tape the ends, and hang a small 8–10 mm paper heart from it to mimic the pendant.
4. Extender and clasp:
   • If your necklace includes an extender (often 2 in/5 cm), try the shortest and longest settings to see where the heart falls on your neckline.

Note: Exact millimeter measurements can vary slightly with cut style and hand-setting.

Materials & Craft

Moissanite (1 Carat, Heart Cut)

• Lab-created gemstone celebrated for exceptional brilliance and fire.
• Hardness ~9.25 on the Mohs scale for excellent daily-wear durability.
• Optics: high refractive index (~2.65–2.69) and strong dispersion (~0.104) for lively sparkle.
• Size guidance: a “1 ct” heart moissanite commonly corresponds to ~6.5 mm width; many brands list DEW (diamond equivalent weight). Actual size may vary by make.
• Ethical choice: lab-grown and conflict-free.

925 Sterling Silver

• Composed of 92.5% pure silver alloyed with 7.5% other metals (often copper) for strength.
• Bright white finish; some designs add rhodium plating for enhanced shine and tarnish resistance (if specified).
• Hypoallergenic for most wearers; nickel content depends on alloy—look for “nickel-free” where noted.
• Normal silver develops a gentle patina over time and can be refreshed with a polishing cloth.

Model Information & Fit Guide

• Visual scale: a 6.5 mm heart center stone appears roughly 1/4 inch wide; with the setting, the pendant commonly presents around 8–10 mm across.
• Typical necklace appearance by length:
  • 16 in: base of neck; heart sits near or at the collarbone.
  • 18 in: classic everyday length; heart rests at or just below the collarbone.
  • 20–22 in: lower drape; ideal for layering or higher necklines.
• If shown on a model, scale photos often use an adjustable 16–18 in chain. Fit can vary with neck circumference.

All measurements are approximate and may vary slightly with design and hand-setting. Refer to product options for exact chain length and any extender included.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: apply lotions, perfume, sunscreen, and hairspray before wearing.
• Remove before showering, swimming, exercising, cleaning, or sleeping.
• Clean moissanite: soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap; gently brush with a soft toothbrush; rinse and dry. Moissanite generally tolerates ultrasonic cleaning; avoid if the setting is delicate.
• Clean sterling silver: use a soft silver polishing cloth. If unplated, a brief dip in gentle silver cleaner can help—rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive pastes and bleach.
• For rhodium-plated pieces: stick to mild soap and water plus a soft cloth; avoid chemical dips and abrasives.
• Storage: keep dry in a soft pouch or separate compartment; add anti-tarnish strips for silver.
• Maintenance: have prongs/settings inspected periodically; rhodium plating can be refreshed over time by a jeweler.

Style Tips

• Everyday elegance: wear solo on an 18 in chain for a clean, romantic look.
• Layering: pair with a shorter 14–16 in choker or a longer 20–22 in chain for dimension.
• Necklines that flatter: V-neck, scoop, sweetheart, and off-shoulder silhouettes.
• Match with minimal studs or a slim tennis bracelet to keep the heart pendant as the focal point.
• Stick to cool metals (sterling silver, white gold, platinum) for a cohesive palette, or mix subtly for a modern twist.
• Gift-ready: the heart motif makes a thoughtful choice for anniversaries, birthdays, and bridal parties.
