Adored 925 Sterling Silver Cross Moissanite Necklace

How to Measure the Necklace

Use a soft tape measure (or a piece of string and a ruler) and a small ruler or caliper for millimeters. Record measurements in millimeters for accuracy.

1. Chain length:
   • Lay the chain flat and measure end-to-end from the tip of the clasp to the opposite end. This is the stated length (e.g., 16 in / 18 in / 20 in).
   • If the chain is adjustable, note the range (e.g., 16–18 in) and any extension length.
2. Pendant size (Cross):
   • Overall height: measure from the top of the bail (the loop) to the bottom of the cross.
   • Cross height (without bail): measure from the top of the cross to the bottom, excluding the bail.
   • Width: measure the widest horizontal point of the cross.
   • Thickness: measure the side profile at the thickest point.
3. Bail opening (for swapping chains):
   • Measure the inner height and inner width of the bail. Choose a chain whose thickness is slightly smaller than the bail’s inner width so it slides freely.
4. Drop length on the body:
   • Drop length is approximately half the chain length, plus the pendant height (including bail). Example: 18 in chain (9 in drop) + 1 in pendant ≈ 10 in drop.
5. Tips:
   • 1 inch = 25.4 mm. Allow for a 1–3 mm variance due to hand measuring.
   • Measuring with a piece of string around your neck helps visualize where the pendant will sit.

Materials & Gem Information

Model & Fit Guide

• On most women:
  • 16 in chain: sits near the base of the neck (choker to high-collarbone).
  • 18 in chain: rests at the collarbone (most popular everyday length).
  • 20 in chain: falls just below the collarbone.
• On most men:
  • 20 in chain: at or slightly below the collarbone.
  • 22–24 in chain: upper chest.
• Pendant presence: A cross adds visual length; if you prefer the pendant higher on the chest, choose the shorter of your usual lengths.
• Layering: Try 16 + 18 in for a subtle stack, or 18 + 20 in for more separation between chains.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Everyday care:
  • Last on, first off: put the necklace on after skincare, perfume, and hairspray; remove before workouts, showering, or swimming.
  • After wearing, wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove oils.
• Cleaning:
  • Occasional soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap; brush lightly with a soft toothbrush; rinse and pat dry completely.
  • Use a silver polishing cloth for tarnish; avoid abrasive powders or tissues.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals (bleach, ammonia), strong ultrasonic cleaners, or steam unless you’re certain they’re safe for your exact finish and setting.
• Storage:
  • Store in a dry, closed pouch or box, ideally anti-tarnish, away from humidity.
  • Keep pieces separate to prevent scratches.
• Periodic check:
  • Inspect the bail, clasp, and stone settings for any looseness; have a jeweler tighten prongs if needed.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: Wear solo on an 18 in chain for a clean, polished look with tees, blouses, or knits.
• Layered shine: Pair with a shorter box or cable chain (14–16 in) and a longer pendant (20–22 in) to create dimension.
• Neckline pairing:
  • V-neck and scoop: 18–20 in complements the opening and centers the cross.
  • Crew neck: 16–18 in keeps the pendant visible above the collar.
• Mixed metals: Sterling silver plays well with white gold and platinum; for a mixed-metal stack, anchor with the silver cross and add a warm-toned chain.
• Occasions: Subtle enough for daily wear; adds refined sparkle for events. Makes a thoughtful keepsake gift.

Note: Actual measurements vary by piece. If you plan to use your own chain, confirm the bail’s inner dimensions are larger than your chain thickness.
