925 Sterling Silver 1 Carat Moissanite Key Pendant Necklace | 100100686383202

How to Measure This Necklace

Use a millimeter ruler or caliper for accuracy. A soft tape measure and a piece of string can help visualize length.

• Pendant height:
  • Measure from the top of the bail (the loop) to the very bottom tip of the key.
  • “Drop length” refers to how far the pendant hangs below the chain; this is the pendant height minus the portion of the bail covered by the chain.
• Pendant width:
  • Measure the widest point (usually across the key bow/head).
• Pendant thickness:
  • Measure the side profile from front to back at the thickest area.
• Stone size:
  • Moissanite is commonly listed in diamond-equivalent carat (DEC). A 1 ct round typically measures about 6.5 mm in diameter.
  • If the stone is not round, check the listed millimeter size for that shape.
• Chain length:
  • Lay the chain flat and measure end-to-end including the clasp.
  • Fit guide (approximate): 16 in sits at the base of the neck, 18 in at the collarbone (most popular), 20 in just below the collarbone, 22–24 in mid-chest.
• Chain thickness & bail opening:
  • Measure the inside height and width of the bail to ensure your chain fits.
  • Compare to your chain’s thickness (in mm). Allow a little extra clearance so the chain moves freely.
• Weight:
  • If needed, weigh the pendant and/or necklace in grams on a jewelry scale for reference.
• Visualizing size:
  • 6–7 mm is roughly the width of a standard pencil eraser; use a ruler to picture the stone and pendant proportions.

Note: Hand measurements may vary slightly. When in doubt, compare against a pendant or chain you already own.

Materials & Key Properties

925 Sterling Silver

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver, 7.5% strengthening alloys for durability.
• Color: Bright white metal with a high-polish finish.
• Tarnish: Sterling naturally oxidizes over time; regular wear and simple care minimize tarnish.
• Plating: Many sterling pieces are rhodium-plated for extra shine and tarnish resistance; plating can soften with wear and be re-plated if desired.
• Skin sensitivity: Alloys vary; if you have nickel sensitivity, confirm alloy details before prolonged wear.

Moissanite (1 Carat Equivalent)

• Origin: Lab-grown and conflict-free.
• Hardness: 9.25 on the Mohs scale (excellent for daily wear).
• Brilliance & fire: High refractive index (~2.65) and strong dispersion, giving exceptional sparkle.
• Heat & chemical stability: Generally resilient; still avoid harsh chemicals and extreme thermal shock.
• Size reference: A 1 ct round is typically ~6.5 mm diameter (DEC). Actual millimeter size may vary by cut/shape.

Model & Fit Information

• On-body photos (where shown) are for scale. The same pendant can look smaller or larger based on body proportions and neckline.
• Most product styling uses 16–18 in chains for a classic collarbone look; choose 20–22 in for a longer drape or layering.
• Key pendants are versatile: petite sizes feel minimal and delicate; larger keys read as a statement. Refer to the measurement guide above to match your preference.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: Put jewelry on after lotions, perfume, hairspray, and sunscreen.
• Avoid moisture & chemicals: Remove before swimming, showering, exercising, or cleaning (chlorine, bleach, ammonia, and sulfur accelerate tarnish).
• Daily wipe-down: After wear, gently wipe with a soft lint-free cloth to remove oils.
• Deep clean (safe method): Soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes. Use a soft brush around the setting. Rinse and pat dry.
• Polish the silver: Use a treated silver polishing cloth on the metal only; avoid rubbing treated cloth over the stone.
• Silver dips: Not recommended for set jewelry as they can affect settings and plating; reserve for plain silver pieces only.
• Ultrasonic cleaners: Moissanite is sturdy, but delicate or glued silver components may not be. When uncertain, use the mild soap method.
• Storage: Keep in an anti-tarnish pouch or box, away from humidity and direct sunlight. Separate from other pieces to prevent scratches.
• Plating care: If rhodium-plated, avoid abrasive cloths and compounds; re-plate through a jeweler if the finish softens over time.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: Wear solo on a 16–18 in chain with a simple tee or blouse.
• Layered look: Stack with a shorter choker (14–16 in) and a longer chain (20–24 in) for dimension.
• Dress-up glow: Pair with moissanite or diamond stud earrings and a sleek bracelet for evening or occasion wear.
• Mix textures: Combine with a paperclip or rope chain for contrast while keeping the key as the focal point.
• Meaningful gifting: Keys symbolize new beginnings, achievements, and milestones—ideal for graduations, promotions, and anniversaries.
• Neckline guide: V-necks and scoop necks showcase the pendant; choose longer lengths for high necks and turtlenecks.
