925 Sterling Silver Moissanite Pendant Necklace | 101300747968258

How to Measure

Use these quick steps to get the right fit and understand the pendant’s scale.

1. Decide where you want the pendant to sit. Wrap a soft measuring tape (or a string you can measure afterward) around your neck to that point. - 14 in (35.5 cm): high choker - 16 in (40 cm): base of neck on most - 18 in (45 cm): at the collarbone (most popular) - 20–22 in (50–55 cm): just below collarbone
2. If you already have a favorite chain length, lay it flat and measure end-to-end including the clasp.
3. Understand stone and pendant size: - Stone size is usually listed in millimeters (mm). Visual diamond-size equivalents for round stones:
   • 5.0 mm ≈ 0.50 ct diamond equivalent
   • 6.0 mm ≈ 0.75 ct diamond equivalent
   • 6.5 mm ≈ 1.00 ct diamond equivalent
   • 7.5 mm ≈ 1.50 ct diamond equivalent
   • 8.0 mm ≈ 2.00 ct diamond equivalent
   Note: Moissanite weighs differently than diamond; the “ct equivalent” refers to visual size, not actual carat weight.
4. Pendant dimensions: measure height (top of bail to bottom of pendant) and width (widest part). This helps visualize how it will sit on your neckline.
5. Check chain compatibility: - Chain thickness (gauge): fine everyday chains are commonly 0.8–1.2 mm; more substantial look 1.2–1.5 mm. - Bail opening (the loop on the pendant): ensure your chain’s end cap/clasp can pass through the bail’s inner width and height.
6. Adjustability: extenders typically add 1–2 in (2.5–5 cm) for flexible layering and different necklines.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: put your necklace on after skincare, perfume, and hairspray; remove before workouts, swimming, or showering.
• Daily wipe-down: use a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and keep the stone sparkling.
• Cleaning at home: soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes; brush gently with a soft toothbrush; rinse and pat dry.
• Tarnish prevention: store in a dry pouch or an anti-tarnish bag; keep away from rubber bands and sulfur sources.
• Polishing: use a silver polishing cloth for light tarnish. Avoid abrasive powders, toothpaste, or harsh chemicals.
• Professional check: if prong-set, have settings inspected periodically to ensure the stone remains secure; re-polish or re-rhodium as needed with wear.
• Travel tip: pack separately to prevent tangling and scratches.

Style Tips

• Everyday classic: wear at 16–18 in to sit at the collarbone—perfect with tees, blouses, and button-downs.
• Layering: pair with a shorter 14–16 in choker and a longer 20–22 in chain; vary textures (cable + box) for depth.
• Necklines: 16 in suits crew and boat necks; 18–20 in complements V-necks and wrap dresses.
• Pairing: moissanite studs or a delicate tennis bracelet echo the pendant’s brilliance without overpowering it.
• Mixed metals: sterling silver layers beautifully with white-gold pieces for a cohesive, luminous stack.
• Occasions: minimal for day, elevated at night—just add a brighter lip or sleek blazer for instant polish.
