How to Measure This Necklace

Use a soft measuring tape or a piece of string and a ruler. Convert inches to centimeters by multiplying by 2.54.

1. Chain length:
   • Lay the chain flat and measure end-to-end, including the clasp.
   • If you don’t have the chain yet, wrap a string around your neck to your preferred drop point, mark it, then measure the string.
   • Typical fit guide (approximate on an average neck): 14 in (35.5 cm) choker; 16 in (40.5 cm) at high collarbone; 18 in (45.7 cm) just below collarbone; 20–22 in (50.8–55.9 cm) mid-chest.
2. Pendant size:
   • Height: Measure from the top of the bail (the loop) to the very bottom of the pendant.
   • Width: Measure the widest horizontal point of the pendant.
3. Stone size (moissanite):
   • Measure across the widest point of the stone (diameter for a round cut) in millimeters.
   • For reference (approximate diamond-equivalent weights, DEW): 4.0 mm ≈ 0.25 ct, 5.0 mm ≈ 0.50 ct, 6.0 mm ≈ 0.80 ct, 6.5 mm ≈ 1.00 ct, 7.0 mm ≈ 1.25 ct, 8.0 mm ≈ 2.00 ct.
4. Drop on neck:
   • Measure from the base of your neck to where you want the pendant to sit; choose the chain length that reaches that point.
5. Hallmark:
   • Look for a “925” or “S925” stamp on the clasp or pendant to confirm sterling silver purity.

Materials

925 Sterling Silver

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver alloyed with 7.5% other metals (commonly copper) for strength.
• Why it’s great: Bright luster, durable for everyday wear, and generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin.
• Tarnish care: Sterling silver naturally oxidizes over time; gentle cleaning restores shine.
• Hallmark: Stamped “925”/“S925” on the metal.

Moissanite (Lab-Grown)

• Origins: Lab-grown silicon carbide engineered to maximize brilliance; a responsible, conflict-free choice.
• Durability: 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale; suitable for daily wear.
• Optics: Refractive index ~2.65–2.69 with high dispersion for exceptional fire and sparkle.
• Color/clarity: Commonly offered in colorless (D–F) or near-colorless (G–H) with VVS–VS clarity in minimalist settings. Check your selected variant for exact grade.

Design & Model Information

This Minimalist 925 Sterling Silver Moissanite Pendant Necklace focuses on clean lines and a single high-sparkle stone. The understated setting keeps the look modern and versatile for everyday wear, layering, or special occasions.

• Setting style: Minimal, designed to showcase the stone (often bezel or prong; varies by variant).
• Drape and fit: Most minimalist pendants sit best at 16–18 in for a just-at or just-below collarbone look; select longer lengths for layering or higher necklines.
• Occasions: Daily wear, work, casual events, gifting, bridal party accessories.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Put jewelry on last, after lotions, perfume, and hairspray have dried.
• Remove before showering, swimming, hot tubs, gym, or household cleaning.
• Wipe with a soft, non-abrasive cloth after each wear to remove oils and sweat.
• For a deeper clean: soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 5–10 minutes, brush gently with a soft toothbrush (especially behind the stone), rinse, and pat dry.
• Use a treated silver-polishing cloth to lift tarnish from sterling silver. Avoid harsh chemical dips that may affect finishes or settings.
• Store separately in a soft pouch or anti-tarnish bag to prevent scratches and slow oxidation.
• Avoid extreme heat and sudden temperature changes. If the piece has any glued components, skip ultrasonic or steam cleaning.
• Have prongs and settings checked by a professional jeweler annually (or after impact) to keep the stone secure.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: Wear solo on a 16–18 in chain with a plain tee or blouse for effortless polish.
• Layering: Combine with a shorter choker and a longer simple chain (20–22 in) for dimension without clutter.
• Neckline match: Crew necks pair well with 18 in; V-necks and wrap dresses shine with 16–18 in to center the pendant.
• Mix & match: Pair with moissanite or plain silver stud earrings and a slender bracelet for a cohesive, minimal set.
• Gifting: 18 in is a versatile default length for most recipients.
