1 Carat Moissanite Heart-Shaped Pendant Necklace

How to Measure Your Necklace and Fit

Use a ruler or calipers for the pendant and a flexible measuring tape or string for the chain. Record all dimensions in millimeters (mm) for accuracy.

• Pendant height (without bail): measure from the top curves of the heart to the tip of the point.
• Pendant height (with bail): measure from the top of the bail to the tip of the heart.
• Pendant width: measure the widest distance across the heart’s lobes.
• Pendant thickness: measure the depth at the thickest point (setting + stone).
• Bail inner size: measure the opening’s height and width to confirm which chains will fit.
• Chain length: lay the chain flat and measure end-to-end, including the clasp.
• Chain thickness: measure the diameter of the chain links (important for bail compatibility).
• Drop length (on body): measure from the back of your neck (nape) to where you want the pendant tip to sit.

Quick measuring steps:

1. Wrap a string around your neck where the chain will sit, mark where it meets, then measure the string against a ruler to find your ideal length.
2. Compare with standard lengths to visualize fit:
   • 14 in (35.5 cm): choker
   • 16 in (40.6 cm): base of neck
   • 18 in (45.7 cm): at the collarbone (most popular)
   • 20 in (50.8 cm): just below the collarbone
   • 22–24 in (55.9–61 cm): décolleté; great for layering
3. Ensure the bail opening is larger than both the chain thickness and the clasp end. As a rule of thumb, the bail’s inner width should be at least 0.5–1.0 mm larger than the chain’s thickest point.

Approximate size reference for a 1 ct heart moissanite (DEW):

• Stone face size: typically around 6.0–6.7 mm wide (varies by cut and brand).
• Pendant face (stone + setting): commonly about 7–10 mm wide.
• Note: Moissanite “carat” is often listed as Diamond Equivalent Weight (DEW). Millimeter size is the most reliable way to compare actual face-up size.

Materials & Gemstone Information

• Gemstone: Lab-created moissanite, heart brilliant cut, 1.0 ct DEW.
  • Mohs hardness: ~9.25 (excellent scratch resistance for daily wear).
  • Optics: High brilliance and fire (refractive index ~2.65–2.69; dispersion ~0.104).
  • Ethics: Lab-grown and conflict-free.
• Metal (varies by version):
  • 925 Sterling Silver, often rhodium plated for added brightness and tarnish resistance.
  • 14K Gold Vermeil (thick gold over sterling) for a richer tone with fine-jewelry feel.
  • Solid Gold (commonly 14K/18K) in premium versions.

  Please refer to your specific product options to confirm the exact metal and finish.

• Setting: Typically a protective V-tip or prong arrangement to shield the heart’s pointed tip, with a classic or hidden bail.
• Chain: Usually a fine cable or box chain (approx. 0.8–1.2 mm) with spring-ring or lobster clasp.
• Allergy note: If you’re nickel sensitive, choose nickel-free sterling or solid gold options when available.

Model & Fit Information

• Visual scale: A 1 ct heart moissanite appears similar in presence to a ~6.5 mm round stone; the setting can add 0.5–2.0 mm to the overall width.
• On-neck look by chain length:
  • 16 in: a refined, close-to-neck look—great for open necklines.
  • 18 in: classic everyday position at the collarbone.
  • 20–22 in: more relaxed drape; ideal for higher necklines and layering.
• Tip: Adjustable 16–18 in chains offer the most versatility for styling and gift giving.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: Put jewelry on after skincare, perfume, and hairspray; remove before sleep.
• Daily clean: Soak 10–15 minutes in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap. Brush gently with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Deep clean: Moissanite tolerates ultrasonic/steam cleaning, but avoid these methods if your setting is plated (rhodium or vermeil) or includes glued components—hand clean instead.
• Avoid chemicals: Remove before swimming, hot tubs, cleaning, or applying sunscreen—chlorine and harsh agents can dull finishes.
• Storage: Keep separately in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches and reduce silver tarnish.
• Maintenance: Periodically inspect prongs—especially around the heart’s point—and have a jeweler tighten or replate as needed.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: Wear solo on 16–18 in with simple studs for a clean, bright look.
• Layered set: Combine with a 14–15 in choker and a 20–22 in chain; mix chain textures (cable + box) for depth.
• Date-night shine: Pair with heart or halo studs and a delicate tennis bracelet.
• Match your metal:
  • Silver/rhodium: cool, crisp finish—pairs well with white, blue, and monochrome looks.
  • Yellow gold: warm and classic—elevates neutrals and black.
  • Rose gold: soft and romantic—beautiful with blush and earth tones.
• Gift-ready: A timeless choice for anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine’s Day, and bridal parties.
