Adored Show Off 1 Carat Moissanite Pendant Necklace | Gold / One Size 100100659109009

How to Measure Your Adored Show Off 1 Carat Moissanite Pendant Necklace

• Understand the stone size: A 1 ct diamond-equivalent round moissanite typically measures about 6.5 mm in diameter (often listed as 1 ct DEW). Actual size can vary by cut/shape.
• Measure pendant drop: With a ruler or caliper, measure from the top of the bail (the loop) to the bottom of the pendant. Note the measurement in millimeters.
• Measure pendant width: Measure across the widest point of the pendant to get overall width.
• Check bail opening: Measure the inner height and width of the bail to ensure your chain fits. Choose a chain whose thickness is at least 0.3 mm smaller than the smallest bail dimension.
• Find your best chain length:
  • Wrap a string where you want the pendant to sit, mark, then measure the string and choose the nearest standard length (16, 18, 20, 22, 24 in).
  • Common placements: 16 in = high at the base of neck; 18 in = at the collarbone; 20 in = just below collarbone; 22–24 in = upper bust.
• Choose chain thickness: 0.8–1.2 mm for delicate, 1.3–1.8 mm for everyday, 2.0+ mm for a statement. Confirm it passes through the bail comfortably.

Layering tip: Leave about 2 inches between chain lengths to minimize tangles and keep each pendant visible.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Moissanite (Center Stone)

• Composition: Lab-created silicon carbide (SiC).
• Hardness: ~9.25 on the Mohs scale for excellent daily-wear durability.
• Brilliance & fire: High refractive index (~2.65–2.69) and dispersion (~0.104) for exceptional sparkle.
• Color & clarity: Created to high standards for a bright, white look; will not cloud with proper care.
• Ethical choice: Lab-created, avoiding traditional mining.

Metal & Chain

This style is commonly offered in precious metals such as sterling silver (often rhodium plated), solid gold (10k/14k/18k), gold vermeil, or platinum. The exact metal, chain type, and length vary by variant. Please confirm your selection in the options above.

• Sterling silver (925): Bright white look; may feature rhodium plating to enhance shine and reduce tarnish.
• Gold (solid): Durable, classic; available in yellow, white, or rose tones depending on variant.
• Gold vermeil: Thick gold over sterling silver; offers a luxe look at a lighter weight.
• Platinum: Naturally white, hypoallergenic, and highly durable.
• Common chains: Cable or box with spring-ring or lobster clasp for secure wear.

Note: Nickel content, plating thickness, and exact specifications depend on the selected variant. If you have sensitivities, verify the metal details before purchase.

About This Model

• Design focus: A clean solitaire pendant that “shows off” the 1 ct moissanite as the centerpiece.
• Setting: A secure, minimal profile (commonly prong or bezel depending on variant) designed to maximize light return and everyday comfort.
• Balance & wear: A well-positioned bail helps the pendant lay flat and reduces flipping during movement.
• Proportion: The 1 ct DEW center offers a noticeable sparkle while remaining refined for daily wear.
• Versatility: Pairs easily with casual looks, office outfits, and evening attire; a timeless gift choice.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Everyday care:
  • Put jewelry on last, after lotions, perfume, hairspray, and sunscreen.
  • Remove before swimming, hot tubs, gym sessions, or household cleaning.
• Cleaning:
  • Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes.
  • Gently brush with a soft toothbrush (especially behind the stone), rinse, and dry with a lint-free cloth.
  • For extra shine, use a non-abrasive jewelry cloth. Ultrasonic/steam cleaning is generally safe for moissanite; avoid if your piece has delicate plating, adhesives, or other sensitive gemstones.
• Storage:
  • Store separately in a soft pouch or compartment to prevent scratches.
  • Keep away from humidity; anti-tarnish tabs are helpful for silver and plated finishes.
• Maintenance:
  • Inspect prongs, bail, and clasp every 3–6 months. If you notice snagging, bending, or rattling, have it checked by a jeweler.
  • Rhodium plating (on white metals) can be refreshed as needed to restore brightness.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: Wear solo on an 18 in chain at the collarbone for effortless sparkle.
• Layered look: Pair with a 16 in choker above and a 20–22 in chain below to frame the pendant.
• Necklines: V-necks and wrap tops spotlight the pendant; crew and scoop necks work well with 18–20 in lengths.
• Metal matching: Coordinate with your rings/earrings, or mix metals for a modern contrast.
• Occasions: Perfect for gifting (birthdays, anniversaries, graduations) and bridal styling for brides or bridesmaids.
