How to Measure Your Necklace

Use these quick steps to get the right fit and understand the size of your Alloy Inlaid Zircon Heart Pendant Necklace.

Measure chain length

• Use a soft measuring tape (or a string and a ruler).
• Wrap around your neck where the chain will sit; note the number.
• Add 2 in (5 cm) for a close pendant fit, or add 4 in (10 cm) for a looser, lower drop.

Common chain lengths and where they typically sit on most necks:

• 16 in (40 cm): base of neck
• 18 in (45 cm): at collarbone (most popular)
• 20 in (50 cm): just below collarbone
• 22 in (55 cm): upper chest

Measure pendant size

• Pendant height: measure from the top of the bail to the bottom of the heart.
• Pendant width: measure at the widest point of the heart.
• Note: product pages may list dimensions without the bail; check which is stated.

Check the bail opening

• Measure the inner height/width of the bail if you plan to swap chains.
• Ensure your replacement chain’s thickness is smaller than the bail opening.

Tip: When layering, choose lengths spaced 2 in (5 cm) apart (for example: 16 in + 18 in + 20 in) to avoid tangling and to show each piece clearly.

Materials Information

Base metal: Alloy

• Alloy refers to a blend of metals (commonly zinc alloy, brass, or copper-based) that provides strength and formability for detailed pendants.
• Often finished with a plated coating (gold-tone or silver-tone). Plating adds color and shine but can wear over time with friction or chemicals.
• Sensitivity note: Some fashion alloys may contain nickel. If you are sensitive to nickel or require nickel-free or lead-free jewelry, check the product’s compliance details before purchase.

Stones: Zircon (commonly Cubic Zirconia in fashion jewelry)

• In many fashion listings, “zircon” typically refers to cubic zirconia (CZ), a lab-created crystal known for diamond-like sparkle.
• Hardness: about 8–8.5 on the Mohs scale (resists everyday scratches better than glass but softer than sapphire/diamond).
• Care: CZ maintains brilliance when kept clean and free from oils and lotions.

Finish and hardware

• Plating: electroplated color (gold-tone/silver-tone) over the alloy base.
• Typical clasp styles: lobster clasp or spring ring (actual clasp may vary by batch).

Model & Fit Guide

Use these general on-body references to visualize where the heart pendant will sit.

• Neck circumference 12–13 in (30–33 cm): 16 in chain sits at base of neck; 18 in at collarbone.
• Neck circumference 13–14.5 in (33–37 cm): 18 in at collarbone; 20 in just below.
• Neck circumference 15–16.5 in (38–42 cm): 20 in near collarbone; 22 in below.

Style intent:

• Choker-like look: choose a chain close to your neck measurement (add ~1–2 in / 2.5–5 cm).
• Everyday pendant: add ~4 in (10 cm) to your neck measurement.
• Layering base: start at 16 or 18 in, then add 2 in (5 cm) increments.

Care Guide (Keep It Lovely Longer)

• Last on, first off: put your necklace on after skincare, perfume, and hairspray; remove before workouts, swimming, or showering.
• Avoid moisture and chemicals: keep away from pools, hot tubs, cleaning products, and hand sanitizers to help preserve the plating.
• Daily clean: wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove oils and restore shine.
• Deep clean (as needed): briefly wash with lukewarm water and a drop of mild dish soap; rinse and dry completely. Do not soak for long periods.
• Storage: keep in a dry pouch or box, ideally in an anti-tarnish bag, and store pieces separately to prevent scratches on the CZ and wear on plating.
• Avoid abrasive tools: no paper towels, polishing wheels, silver dips, or ultrasonic cleaners on plated alloy jewelry.
• Re-plating: with heavy wear, plating can thin over time. Professional re-plating can refresh the finish.

Style Tips

• Everyday sparkle: pair the heart pendant with a simple tee or blouse on an 18 in chain for a flattering, collarbone-level shine.
• Romantic layers: stack with fine chains at 16 in and 20 in to frame the heart shape without tangling.
• Neckline matching: V-neck and scoop necklines highlight the heart silhouette; for crew necks or sweaters, opt for 20–22 in.
• Mix-and-match metals: a heart pendant complements both gold-tone and silver-tone pieces—mix finishes for a modern layered look.
• Special occasion: amplify with CZ stud or huggie earrings to echo the pendant’s sparkle without overpowering it.
• Gift-ready: heart motifs are timeless for birthdays, anniversaries, and bridal parties—choose a versatile 18 in length if you’re unsure of the recipient’s preference.
