1 Carat Moissanite Heart Pendant Chain Necklace | 100100253378089

How to Measure

Use these quick steps to confirm pendant size and choose the right chain length at home.

• Pendant width (heart): Measure horizontally at the widest part of the heart.
• Pendant height (without bail): Measure from the top cleft of the heart straight down to the tip. The bail (loop) adds extra height; measure that separately if you need total drop.
• Bail opening: Measure the inner height and width of the bail to ensure your other chains will fit.
• Chain length: Lay the chain flat and measure end‑to‑end (excluding any extender). If using an extender, note the shortest and longest wearable lengths.
• Find your ideal length: Wrap a string around your neck where you want the pendant to sit, mark it, and measure the string. Common lengths and where they sit for most necks:
  • 14 in / 35 cm: choker (high at the base of the neck)
  • 16 in / 40 cm: near the collarbone
  • 18 in / 45 cm: just below the collarbone
  • 20–22 in / 50–55 cm: upper chest
• Stone size reference: A 1 ct moissanite (diamond‑equivalent weight, DEW) heart typically faces up around ~6.5 mm across at the widest point. Settings may make the overall pendant appear slightly larger.

Note: Manual measurements can vary by 1–2 mm. “1 ct” in moissanite usually refers to diamond‑equivalent size (DEW), not actual moissanite carat weight.

Materials & Craftsmanship

• Gemstone: Lab‑created moissanite, approx. 1.00 ct DEW, heart cut with brilliant faceting for maximum sparkle.
• Moissanite highlights:
  • Exceptional brilliance and fire (refractive index ~2.65–2.69)
  • Durable for daily wear (Mohs hardness ~9.25)
  • Ethical and conflict‑free, lab grown
• Metal (varies by variant): Fine jewelry metal such as 925 sterling silver (often rhodium plated for shine and tarnish resistance) or gold‑tone options (e.g., 14K/18K plating over sterling). Nickel‑safe, skin‑friendly construction is typically used.
• Chain & clasp: A delicate everyday chain (commonly cable or box style) with a secure clasp; some variants include a length extender for adjustable fit.

Good to know: Because moissanite is less dense than diamond, the same “face‑up” size weighs fewer carats; that’s why moissanite is quoted in DEW to indicate its diamond‑size equivalent.

On‑Model Fit Guide

The heart pendant offers a refined, petite look at 1 ct DEW. On most necks:

• 16 in / 40 cm sits near the collarbone for a classic everyday look.
• 18 in / 45 cm rests just below the collarbone and layers easily with 14–16 in chokers.
• 20–22 in / 50–55 cm gives a relaxed, low‑neckline look and pairs well with shorter chains.

If browsing on‑model images, note the chain length shown and compare to your neck measurement using the string method above for the most accurate visual match.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Remove before showering, swimming, workouts, and applying lotions, perfumes, or hairspray.
• Clean regularly with warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, and a soft brush; rinse and pat dry with a lint‑free cloth.
• For sterling silver, store in an airtight pouch to minimize tarnish; gently polish with a silver or jewelry cloth as needed.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, paper towels, or ultrasonic cleaners on plated pieces; if plating wears over time, consider professional replating.
• Store separately to prevent scratches and tangling; fasten the clasp before storing.
• Have prongs and settings checked periodically if worn daily.

Style Tips

• Everyday elegance: Wear solo on a 16–18 in chain for a clean, timeless look.
• Layering: Stack with a 14 in choker and a 20–22 in pendant for depth. Mix textures (box + cable) for visual interest.
• Necklines: Complements V‑neck, scoop, and sweetheart cuts; choose a length that centers the heart just above the neckline.
• Match your metals: Pair with similar‑tone studs or hoops; moissanite’s sparkle pairs especially well with minimalist bands and tennis bracelets.
• Gift ready: 16–18 in lengths fit most; add an extender for versatility across outfits and seasons.
