Heart Shape Inlaid Zircon 925 Sterling Silver Necklace | 100500587871190

How to Measure Your Necklace

Use these quick steps to confirm fit and scale before purchasing:

1. Find your ideal chain length
   • Wrap a soft measuring tape (or a string you can measure afterward) around your neck at the spot you want the pendant to rest.
   • Add 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 in) for comfort and clothing ease.
   • Common lengths and where they sit on most necks:
     • 14 in (35 cm): choker, high on the neck
     • 16 in (40 cm): base of neck
     • 18 in (45 cm): at the collarbone (most popular)
     • 20 in (50 cm): just below collarbone
     • 22–24 in (55–60 cm): mid-chest layering length
2. Measure the pendant
   • Height: top to bottom of the heart (note if this includes or excludes the bail/loop).
   • Width: the widest point across the heart.
   • Thickness: side profile of the pendant.
   • Bail opening: inner height/width of the loop to ensure it fits alternative chains (if you plan to swap chains).
3. Check extender and clasp
   • If an extender is included (commonly 5 cm / 2 in), measure from the last chain link to the end ring to know your maximum wearable length.
   • Confirm clasp style (spring ring or lobster) and that it passes through the end ring easily.

Quick conversions: 1 in = 2.54 cm; 10 mm = 1 cm ≈ 0.39 in.

Materials & Composition

• Metal: 925 Sterling Silver
  • Content: 92.5% pure silver alloyed with 7.5% other metals (commonly copper) for strength.
  • Look for hallmark: “925” or “S925” on the chain, clasp, or pendant.
  • Finish: Many sterling pieces are rhodium plated for extra shine and improved tarnish resistance (finish may vary by batch or style).
  • Skin-friendliness: Generally considered suitable for sensitive skin; however, individuals may react differently to alloys or plating.
• Stone: Zircon (often used in fashion jewelry to describe high-quality cubic zirconia)
  • Brilliance: Bright, diamond-like sparkle with excellent light return.
  • Durability: Typically 8–8.5 on the Mohs hardness scale for cubic zirconia; suitable for everyday wear with proper care.
  • Clarity/Color: Usually near-flawless clarity and can be colorless or tinted; heart shape enhances scintillation at the center.
  • Note: “Zircon” (a natural mineral, ZrSiO4) and “cubic zirconia” (a lab-grown crystal, ZrO2) are distinct materials; many fashion listings use “zircon” to refer to cubic zirconia.

On‑Model Fit Guide

This heart pendant is designed to sit delicately and draw light to the neckline. Here’s how it typically looks when worn:

• At 16 in (40 cm) the pendant rests at the base of the neck—ideal for minimalist, everyday styling or layering above longer chains.
• At 18 in (45 cm) it sits around the collarbone—our most versatile and gift-friendly length for most neck sizes.
• With a 2 in (5 cm) extender you can fine-tune placement for different necklines or stack with other necklaces without tangling.
• Tip: If your neck circumference is 36–39 cm, most people prefer 18–20 in for a similar collarbone look.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• After each wear, wipe gently with a soft, lint-free or silver polishing cloth to remove oils and moisture.
• Keep it dry: remove before showering, exercising, or swimming; avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, hairspray, and household cleaners.
• Store individually in a pouch or anti-tarnish bag; minimize air exposure when not in use.
• If cleaning is needed: use mild soap in lukewarm water, a soft brush around settings, rinse well, and pat dry completely.
• Avoid abrasive powders, paper towels, or rough fabrics that can scratch metal and stones.
• Do not use silver dip or ultrasonic cleaners on pieces with glued or micro‑pavé stones; stick to gentle hand cleaning.
• If rhodium plated, polish lightly—over‑polishing can thin the plating over time.
• Travel tip: fasten the clasp when storing to prevent tangling, and keep away from hard items that could scuff the pendant.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: wear alone at 16–18 in with a plain tee or blouse for a bright, refined focal point.
• Layered look: pair with a choker (14–15 in) above and a longer chain (20–22 in) below for dimension.
• Necklines: complements V‑necks and sweetheart cuts by echoing the heart silhouette; sits cleanly over crew necks.
• Mix and match: sterling silver pairs beautifully with white gold or platinum tones; add small zircon/diamond‑style studs to echo the sparkle.
• Occasions: romantic dinners, bridal parties, anniversaries, and everyday shine—heart motifs are timeless gift choices.
• Stack smart: combine with delicate chains of varying textures (box, cable, snake) to prevent visual clutter while keeping the heart front and center.
