1 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Necklace | 101300255913106

How to Measure This Necklace

Use these simple steps to understand the size and fit before you buy:

• Chain length: Wrap a soft measuring tape (or a piece of string you later measure with a ruler) around your neck to where you want the pendant to sit. Common lengths:
  • 16 in (40 cm): base of neck
  • 18 in (45 cm): at the collarbone (most popular)
  • 20–22 in (50–55 cm): just below collarbone/high neckline
• Pendant drop: Measure from the top of the bail (where the chain passes through) to the bottom of the pendant. Compare to a ruler to visualize where it will land on your chest.
• Stone size: A “1 Carat Diamond Equivalent” round moissanite is approximately 6.5 mm in diameter. Place a ruler on a flat surface and compare 6–7 mm to get a feel for the face-up size.
• Neck reference: If your neck circumference is 13–14 in (33–36 cm), 16 in chains sit higher; if 15–16 in (38–41 cm), 18 in typically sits at the collarbone.
• Layering spacing: For stacking, choose lengths 2 in (5 cm) apart (for example, 16 in + 18 in + 20 in).

Materials & Craft

Moissanite (1 Carat Diamond Equivalent)

• Composition: Lab-created silicon carbide (SiC); ethical and conflict-free.
• Approximate size guide: ~6.5 mm round equals 1 CT DEW (Diamond Equivalent Weight).
• Hardness: 9.25 on the Mohs scale for excellent scratch resistance.
• Optics: Exceptional brilliance and fire (refractive index ~2.65–2.69).
• Stability: Resistant to heat and everyday wear; suitable for daily jewelry.

925 Sterling Silver

• Alloy: 92.5% pure silver balanced with 7.5% copper for strength.
• Look & feel: Bright white luster; comfortable for daily wear.
• Skin sensitivity: Generally hypoallergenic for most; if you have a nickel sensitivity, confirm the alloy is nickel-safe.
• Patina: Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time; it’s easily restored with a polishing cloth.

Note on “carat”: Moissanite is often sized by millimeters and listed with a diamond-equivalent carat. Weight may differ from a diamond of the same size due to different density.

Model & Fit Guide

• Visual scale: A 6.5 mm round center stone offers a classic “one-carat” look—refined for daily wear, noticeable enough for occasions.
• Where it sits:
  • 16 in: high at the base of the neck; ideal for open necklines.
  • 18 in: rests at the collarbone; versatile for most outfits.
  • 20–22 in: lower drape; pairs well with high or crew necks.
• Tip: If you have broader shoulders or prefer more drop, size up one chain length from what you usually wear.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: Put jewelry on after skincare, perfume, and hairspray; remove before workouts, swimming, or showering.
• Daily clean: Rinse with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap; gently brush behind the stone with a soft toothbrush; rinse and pat dry.
• Polish: Use a non-abrasive silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish. Avoid harsh dips or abrasive pastes.
• Plating awareness: If your piece is rhodium-plated, avoid chemical dips and stick to mild soap and a soft cloth.
• Storage: Keep in a dry, closed pouch or box, ideally with an anti-tarnish strip; store pieces separately to prevent scratches.
• Maintenance: Periodically check the setting and bail; if you notice looseness, have a jeweler tighten prongs.
• Ultrasonic cleaners: Generally safe for moissanite, but only if the setting is secure; when in doubt, consult a jeweler.

Style Tips

• Everyday essential: Wear solo with tees, blouses, or knits for a clean, polished look.
• Layering: Stack with a 16 in choker and a 20 in pendant for a chic three-tier set; keep metals consistent for a sleek finish.
• Necklines: Pair 18 in with V-necks and scoop tops to center the sparkle; choose 20–22 in for higher or crew necklines.
• Occasion ready: Elevate evening looks with matching moissanite studs or a tennis bracelet for cohesive brilliance.
• Mix & match: Sterling silver plays well with white gold and platinum; add delicate chains for texture without overwhelming the pendant.
• Gifting: A timeless solitaire look suits birthdays, anniversaries, and bridal parties—classic, versatile, and easy to style.
