2 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Necklace

How to Measure the Necklace

Use a soft measuring tape or a piece of string and a ruler. Measure on a flat surface for accuracy.

• Chain length: Lay the chain flat and measure end-to-end, including the clasp.
• Pendant height: Measure from the very top of the bail (the loop that the chain passes through) to the very bottom of the pendant.
• Pendant width: Measure the widest part of the pendant from side to side.
• Bail opening: Measure the inner height and width of the bail to confirm the chain (or a different chain you may use) can pass through.
• Drop length on the body: Wrap a string around your neck to the desired drop, mark it, then measure the string. This equals your ideal chain length.

Quick reference for where common lengths sit on most necks:

• 14 in (35 cm): Choker
• 16 in (40 cm): High collarbone
• 18 in (45 cm): Classic pendant length (just below collarbone)
• 20–22 in (50–55 cm): Upper chest

Note: A 2.0 ct diamond-equivalent round moissanite is commonly about 8 mm in diameter. Actual measurements may vary by cut and setting.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Moissanite (approx. 2.0 carat diamond equivalent)

• Origin: Lab-created, conflict-free, and ethically sourced.
• Brilliance: High refractive index (approx. 2.65–2.69) and exceptional fire (dispersion ~0.104) for a vivid sparkle.
• Durability: 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale—excellent for everyday wear.
• Color and clarity: Typically colorless to near-colorless with excellent clarity in fine jewelry.
• Care: Resistant to heat and scratching; oils and lotions can dull sparkle—simple cleaning restores brilliance.

925 Sterling Silver

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver blended with 7.5% alloy for strength and longevity.
• Finish: Sterling silver naturally develops patina over time; many pieces are protected by anti-tarnish treatments or rhodium flash—treat as delicate if plated.
• Comfort: Generally nickel-safe; if you have metal sensitivities, confirm compatibility before extended wear.
• Marking: Often stamped “925” to indicate sterling purity.

Model & Fit Notes

• Most necklines: An 18 in chain typically places the pendant just below the collarbone for a classic look.
• Petite frames or high necklines: 16 in offers a higher, refined placement.
• Layering: Choose 16 in + 18 in + 20–22 in lengths to create a tiered stack with the pendant as the focal point.
• If you know your neck circumference: Aim for a chain length 2–4 in longer than your neck measurement for a comfortable pendant drop.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Daily: Wipe with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove oils and sunscreen residue.
• Weekly clean: Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes. Gently brush the stone and setting with a soft toothbrush, rinse well, and pat dry.
• Silver shine: Use a quality silver polishing cloth for the metal. If your piece is plated, avoid abrasive polishes and pastes.
• Avoid: Chlorine, bleach, hot tubs, sulfur-rich hot springs, and harsh household cleaners.
• Last on, first off: Put jewelry on after lotions, perfume, and hair products; remove before exercising or swimming.
• Storage: Keep in a dry, airtight pouch or box, ideally with anti-tarnish tabs. Store pieces separately to prevent scratches.
• Professional care: Moissanite generally tolerates ultrasonic cleaning, but avoid if the setting includes adhesives or delicate accent stones. When unsure, ask a jeweler.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: Wear solo on an 16–18 in chain for a bright, clean sparkle that pairs with tees, blouses, and button-downs.
• Evening shine: Layer with a delicate choker above and a longer chain below (20–22 in) to frame the moissanite center.
• Neckline match: V-necks and wrap dresses draw the eye to the pendant; scoop and sweetheart necklines add a classic touch.
• Metal mix: Sterling silver pairs well with white gold or platinum-tone pieces for a cohesive, cool-metal stack.
• Set it off: Complement with simple studs or small hoops to keep the stone as the focal point.

Note: Measurements can vary slightly due to hand-finishing. If you need precise dimensions for the pendant, chain, or bail opening, measure directly as outlined above.
