925 Sterling Silver 1 Carat Moissanite Chain-Link Necklace | Silver / One Size 100100980897777

How to Measure

Get the perfect fit and visualize the scale of your 1 carat moissanite chain‑link necklace with these quick steps.

• Measure your neck: Wrap a soft tape measure around the base of your neck where the necklace will sit. For a close fit, add 1–2 in (2.5–5 cm); for a looser drape, add 3–4 in (7.5–10 cm).
• Choose chain length:
  • 14 in (35.5 cm): choker
  • 16 in (40.6 cm): sits just above collarbone
  • 18 in (45.7 cm): at collarbone (most popular for pendants)
  • 20–22 in (50.8–55.9 cm): below collarbone
• Include the clasp and extender: Total length is measured end‑to‑end, including clasp and any extender chain. If your necklace has a 2 in extender, the wearable range may be, for example, 16–18 in.
• Chain thickness: If you have calipers or a ruler, measure straight across one link. Typical everyday chain‑link widths are about 1.5–3 mm.
• Stone size (visual scale): A 1 carat (DEW) round moissanite is approximately 6.5 mm in diameter (about 0.26 in). Other shapes can vary slightly in millimeter size for the same DEW.
• Pendant/drop height (if applicable): Measure from the top of the bail or setting to the bottom of the stone/pendant to get the total drop length.

Quick reference: 18 in = 45.7 cm • 1 ct (DEW) round ≈ 6.5 mm • 1 mm ≈ 0.039 in. Measurements are approximate.

Materials & Craftsmanship

This necklace combines precious metal with a high‑brilliance lab‑grown gemstone designed for everyday wear.

• 925 Sterling Silver: Composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% strengthening alloys (commonly copper) for durability. Look for a “925” or “S925” hallmark. Sterling silver offers a bright white luster and a comfortable weight for daily wear. Many pieces are finished with a rhodium layer to enhance shine and help resist tarnish.
• Moissanite (lab‑grown): A gemstone of silicon carbide known for exceptional sparkle.
  • Hardness: ~9.25 on the Mohs scale (highly scratch‑resistant)
  • Refractive index: ~2.65–2.69 (notably brilliant)
  • Dispersion (“fire”): ~0.104 (vivid spectral flashes)
  • Ethical profile: Lab‑grown and conflict‑free
  “1 carat” for moissanite is commonly listed as Diamond Equivalent Weight (DEW). A 1 ct DEW round moissanite typically measures about 6.5 mm across.
• Chain‑link style: Clean, modern links designed to balance a solitaire stone. Comfortable for layering and sturdy enough for frequent wear.
• Skin sensitivity: Sterling silver is generally skin‑friendly. If you are highly sensitive, pieces with rhodium finishing and verified nickel‑safe components are often preferred.

Model & Fit Reference

Use this fit guide to visualize where the necklace sits and how the stone presents at a glance.

• On an average neck circumference of 33–35 cm (13–13.75 in), an 18 in (45.7 cm) chain rests at the collarbone; a 16 in (40.6 cm) sits slightly higher; 20–22 in (50.8–55.9 cm) drapes just below.
• Scale of the stone: A 1 ct (DEW) round moissanite (~6.5 mm) reads as a classic solitaire—substantial sparkle while remaining refined for everyday wear.
• Fit example for reference: An 18 in chain on a 33 cm neck provides a collarbone‑grazing look ideal for most necklines. For a longer, layered effect, add a 20–22 in piece beneath.

Tip: If you prefer a closer fit, choose a chain length 1–2 in longer than your exact neck measurement; for a relaxed drape, add 3–4 in.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: Put your necklace on after skincare, perfume, and hairspray. Remove before workouts, swimming, and showering.
• Daily touch‑up: Wipe gently with a soft, lint‑free cloth after wear to remove oils and keep the silver bright.
• Deeper clean (monthly or as needed): Soak for 5–10 minutes in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap. Brush softly with a baby‑soft toothbrush around the setting and links, rinse well, and pat completely dry.
• Avoid harsh chemicals: Keep away from bleach, chlorine, sulfur, and silver dips—especially if the piece has rhodium finishing.
• Polishing: Use a silver polishing cloth for unplated sterling areas. Avoid abrasive pastes that can micro‑scratch metal or wear thin platings.
• Storage: Store individually in a soft pouch or box with an anti‑tarnish strip. Keep in a dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
• Checkups: Periodically inspect the clasp and stone setting. Have a jeweler tighten prongs or refresh plating if needed.

Style Tips

• Everyday polish: Wear solo with an 18 in length for a clean, collarbone‑skimming sparkle.
• Layering formula: Pair with a 16 in delicate chain above and a 20–22 in chain below for dimension without crowding the centerpiece.
• Necklines: Complements V‑necks and scoop necks; an 18–20 in length also sits beautifully over crew neck knits.
• Mix or match metals: Sterling silver shines next to white gold or platinum pieces; add contrast with a warm gold stack for a modern mixed‑metal look.
• Elevate the set: Team with moissanite studs or small huggie hoops for cohesive sparkle that moves from day to evening.
• Occasion‑ready: The 1 ct DEW moissanite offers eye‑catching brilliance perfect for events, yet remains refined for office wear.
