1 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace | 100500862201048

How to Measure

• Pendant height: Measure from the top of the bail (loop) to the bottom tip of the pendant.
• Pendant width: Measure the widest point of the pendant.
• Stone size: Measure the stone’s diameter across the top (exclude prongs). A 1 ct diamond-equivalent round moissanite is approximately 6.5 mm.
• Bail opening (inner): Measure the inner height and width of the bail to ensure your chain can pass through.
• Chain length: Unclasp and lay flat; measure end-to-end including the clasp. Adjustable chains are listed as a range (e.g., 16–18 in / 40–45 cm).
• Where it sits: As a guide, 16 in typically sits higher at the base of the neck, 18 in at the collarbone, and 20 in slightly below the collarbone (fit varies by neck circumference).

Conversion: 25.4 mm = 1 in. “1 carat” for moissanite usually refers to diamond-equivalent weight (DEW); actual moissanite weight is slightly lighter due to lower density.

Materials & Craftsmanship

• Moissanite (lab-created silicon carbide)
  • Hardness: ~9.25 on the Mohs scale for excellent scratch resistance.
  • Brilliance: High refractive index (~2.65–2.69) and vivid fire (dispersion ~0.104).
  • Ethical & sustainable: Lab-grown and conflict-free.
  • Care-friendly: Durable for daily wear; resists clouding and heat better than many gemstones.
• 925 Sterling Silver
  • Composition: 92.5% pure silver alloyed with 7.5% other metals (commonly copper) for strength.
  • Hallmark: Typically stamped “925” or “S925”.
  • Finish: Some sterling pieces are rhodium plated for extra shine and tarnish resistance. If present, plating may gradually wear and can be re-plated.
  • Skin sensitivity: Many sterling alloys are nickel-free, but alloy content can vary; check product details if you are nickel-sensitive.

Model & Fit Information

• Stone scale: A 1 ct diamond-equivalent round moissanite (~6.5 mm) offers a bright but refined presence—ideal for daily wear and special occasions.
• Necklace drop: Expect the pendant to rest at or just below the collarbone on an 18 in chain for most wearers; choose 16 in for a closer, higher look or 20 in for a lower drape.
• Photo scale tip: Compare the listed measurements to a ruler at home to visualize size; on-model images provide scale reference but individual fit varies.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• After wear: Wipe with a soft lint-free cloth to remove oils and moisture.
• Routine clean: Soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap; gently brush (soft brush), rinse well, and dry completely.
• Avoid: Chlorine, bleach, sulfur, hot tubs, and harsh chemicals (they accelerate silver tarnish and can damage finishes).
• Last on, first off: Apply lotions, sunscreen, and perfume before putting on the necklace; remove before workouts, swimming, or showering.
• Storage: Keep in a dry, closed pouch or box; use anti-tarnish strips and store pieces separately to prevent scratches.
• Polishing: Use a silver polishing cloth for tarnish. Avoid abrasive pastes and dip cleaners around set stones or plated finishes.
• Professional care: Ultrasonic/steam cleaning can be suitable for moissanite in sturdy settings, but consult a jeweler if plating, adhesives, or other gems are present.

Style Tips

• Everyday elegance: Wear solo for a clean, luminous look that elevates basics and workwear.
• Layering: Pair with delicate chains at 14–16 in and 20–22 in for a tiered effect; keep metals consistent for a sleek finish.
• Occasions: Perfect for bridal, anniversaries, graduations, and gifting—effortlessly pairs with moissanite or diamond stud earrings.
• Necklines: Complements V-neck, scoop, and off-shoulder styles; choose chain length to sit just above the neckline.
• Mixed metals: Sterling silver shines with white-gold and platinum tones; add a slim tennis bracelet for extra sparkle.
