Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Heart Necklace | Gold / One Size 100500686671498

How to measure this necklace

Use a soft measuring tape (or string + ruler) and a millimeter ruler for the pendant and stone. Record all measurements in millimeters (mm) for accuracy.

• Neck size and chain length
  • Wrap a soft tape around the base of your neck for your neck circumference.
  • Choose a chain length 2–4 in (5–10 cm) longer than your neck measurement for a comfortable fit.
  • Typical lengths and where they sit on most wearers: 14 in (tight choker), 16 in (base of neck), 18 in (collarbone, the most popular for pendants), 20 in (just below collarbone), 22–24 in (upper to mid‑chest).
  • If the chain includes an extender (often 2 in), you can adjust within that range.
• Pendant dimensions (heart)
  • Width: measure the heart at the widest point from left to right.
  • Height (without bail): measure from the bottom tip of the heart to the top of the heart shape.
  • Height (with bail): measure from the bottom tip of the heart to the top of the bail/opening.
  • Tip: 25 mm ≈ 1 inch. Petite hearts are often 8–12 mm, medium 13–18 mm, statement 19–25 mm+.
• Stone size (moissanite)
  • Moissanite is sized by millimeter diameter (for round stones) and often listed with a Diamond Equivalent Weight (DEW).
  • Approximate round size guide: 4.0 mm ≈ 0.25 ct DEW; 5.0 mm ≈ 0.50 ct; 5.5 mm ≈ 0.60 ct; 6.0 mm ≈ 0.80 ct; 6.5 mm ≈ 1.00 ct; 7.0 mm ≈ 1.25 ct; 7.5 mm ≈ 1.50 ct; 8.0 mm ≈ 2.00 ct; 8.5 mm ≈ 2.50 ct; 9.0 mm ≈ 3.00 ct; 10.0 mm ≈ 4.00 ct.
  • Note: DEW is an equivalence; actual moissanite weight differs from diamond of the same size.
• Chain thickness
  • Lay the chain flat and measure its width with a mm ruler. Everyday pendant chains are commonly 0.8–1.5 mm.
• Drop length (overall hang)
  • Fasten the chain, lay it flat, and measure from the clasp center to the bottom of the pendant to estimate how low it will hang.

Small variations are normal due to hand finishing. Refer to the product’s specifications for exact dimensions when available.

Materials & craftsmanship

• Moissanite (lab‑grown silicon carbide)
  • Brilliance and fire: exceptionally sparkly, with high refractive index (~2.65–2.69) and strong dispersion (~0.104).
  • Durability: very hard (about 9.25 on the Mohs scale), suitable for daily wear.
  • Stability: resists clouding; safe with gentle cleaning and normal temperatures encountered in wear.
  • Ethical choice: lab‑grown and conflict‑free.
• 925 Sterling Silver
  • Alloy: 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% alloy (commonly copper) for strength; typically stamped “925” or “S925”.
  • Look and feel: bright white luster, comfortable for everyday wear.
  • Tarnish: natural over time due to the copper content; easily refreshed with a silver polishing cloth.
  • Nickel: quality sterling silver is generally nickel‑free; check product notes if you have sensitivities.
  • Finish: some pieces are rhodium‑finished for extra brightness and tarnish resistance; care for rhodium finishes as plated jewelry.

Model fit guide

How this heart pendant typically sits by chain length (on most women):

• 16 in: at the base of the neck (choker‑like).
• 18 in: at the collarbone; ideal showcase length for pendants.
• 20 in: just below the collarbone for a slightly longer, elegant drop.
• 22–24 in: upper to mid‑chest; creates a more dramatic, elongated line.

Tip: Try a piece of string cut to 16, 18, 20, and 22 inches to preview where each length will fall on you. For petite pendants (10–15 mm), 16–18 in highlights the heart; for larger hearts (18–25 mm), 18–20 in balances the look.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• After each wear: wipe gently with a soft, lint‑free cloth to remove oils and fingerprints.
• Routine clean: soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 5–10 minutes; brush softly (especially behind the stone), rinse, and dry completely.
• Avoid chemicals: keep away from bleach, chlorine (pools, hot tubs), sulfur (hot springs), and harsh cleaners. Put jewelry on after perfumes, lotions, and hairspray.
• Water & workouts: remove before swimming, spa, or high‑sweat activities to minimize tarnish and residue buildup.
• Storage: keep in an individual pouch or box, ideally anti‑tarnish. Store pieces separately to prevent scratching.
• Polishing: use a silver polishing cloth for sterling silver. Avoid abrasive pastes. Liquid “silver dips” can be harsh on stones and plated finishes—use with caution or opt for professional cleaning.
• Ultrasonic/steam: moissanite is generally safe, but delicate settings and plated finishes may not be. When in doubt, consult a jeweler.
• Safety checks: periodically inspect prongs, bail, and clasp; have a jeweler tighten or re‑tip prongs as needed.

Style tips

• Everyday shine: wear the heart on a 16–18 in chain with tees or blouses; moissanite adds a bright, crisp sparkle.
• Layering: try a 16 in choker, 18 in heart pendant, and a 20–22 in simple chain. Mix chain textures (cable, box) while keeping the metal tone cohesive.
• Dress it up: pair with moissanite or diamond‑look studs and a sleek tennis bracelet for evening or events.
• Neckline guide: V‑necks and sweetheart necklines love 18 in; crew necks pair well with 16 in; for boat or scoop necks, try 20 in.
• Gifting: the heart motif is perfect for anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, birthdays, and bridal party gifts—an adjustable chain adds flexibility.
• Metal mixing: sterling silver blends effortlessly with white gold and platinum; for mixed‑metal looks, add a single rose‑ or yellow‑tone accent piece.
