Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Heart Shape Necklace | Gold / One Size 101300257594144

How to Measure

Chain length

• Using a soft tape or string: wrap at the point you want the pendant to sit, mark it, then measure. Add 1–2 cm (0.5–0.75 in) for comfort.
• Using an existing necklace: lay it flat and measure end-to-end, including the clasp.
• Where common lengths sit on most necks:
  • 40 cm (16 in): base of neck/choker
  • 45 cm (18 in): at the collarbone (most popular)
  • 50 cm (20 in): just below collarbone
  • 55–60 cm (22–24 in): upper chest
• Extenders: note the min–max (e.g., 40–45 cm / 16–18 in) for versatile styling.
• Quick sizing: for a close fit, chain length ≈ neck circumference + 5 cm (2 in); for a looser drape, add 10 cm (4 in).

Pendant size (heart)

• Height: measure from the top of the bail/loop to the bottom point of the heart. If you want just the heart, exclude the bail.
• Width: measure across the widest part of the heart.
• Thickness: check the side profile at the thickest point.
• Bail opening: measure the inside height/width to ensure your chain or clasp fits.

Stone size (moissanite)

• Measure stone diameter in millimeters at the widest point.
• Diamond-equivalent visual guide (DEW):
  • 4.0 mm ≈ 0.25 ct DEW
  • 5.0 mm ≈ 0.50 ct DEW
  • 6.5 mm ≈ 1.00 ct DEW
  • 8.0 mm ≈ 2.00 ct DEW
• Note: DEW is a visual comparison; moissanite’s actual carat weight differs from diamond due to density.

Hallmarks

• Look for “925” or “S925” stamped on the clasp or pendant back to indicate sterling silver.

Tip: If you don’t have a ruler, a credit card is ~54 mm wide and can serve as a quick reference.

Materials

Moissanite

• Lab-grown gemstone prized for high brilliance and rainbow fire.
• Mohs hardness about 9.25 for excellent daily-wear durability.
• Refractive index ~2.65–2.69; dispersion higher than diamond for vivid sparkle.
• Ethically produced in laboratories and conflict-free by origin.

925 Sterling Silver

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% alloy (commonly copper) for strength.
• Finish: many sterling pieces are rhodium plated to enhance shine and resist tarnish (finish may vary by item).
• Color: bright, cool-toned white metal that complements clear moissanite.

Model & Fit Guide

• 16 in (40 cm): sits at the base of the neck; delicate, choker-style look for petite heart pendants.
• 18 in (45 cm): falls at the collarbone; classic everyday length and ideal for layering.
• 20–22 in (50–55 cm): drops below the collarbone; great for higher necklines.
• Pendant scale guide: 8–10 mm feels dainty; 12–15 mm is classic everyday; 18–20 mm reads as a statement heart.
• Layering tip: keep ~5 cm (2 in) between chains so the heart remains centered and visible.

Note: Fit varies by neck circumference and pendant size. When in doubt, choose a slightly longer length or add an extender.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• After each wear: wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and perspiration.
• Clean: soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes; brush gently with a soft toothbrush; rinse and pat dry.
• Avoid: chlorine, bleach, hot tubs, sulfur springs, harsh chemicals, and abrasive cloths that can dull silver or wear plating.
• Last on, first off: put on after lotions, perfume, hairspray, and sunscreen; remove before exercising, swimming, or showering.
• Storage: keep in an individual pouch or zip bag with an anti-tarnish tab; store away from humidity and direct sunlight.
• Ultrasonic/steam: moissanite is generally suitable, but sterling settings and any plating may not be; consult a jeweler if unsure.
• Checkups: have prongs and settings inspected annually or after any impact/snags.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: wear solo at 40–45 cm (16–18 in) with simple studs or small hoops.
• Layered set: combine with a shorter choker and a longer 50–55 cm (20–22 in) chain; mix chain textures for depth.
• Necklines: heart pendants flatter V- and scoop-necks; for high necks, choose 50–55 cm so the heart rests on the fabric.
• Metal mix: sterling pairs well with white gold and platinum; keep finishes similar for a cohesive stack.
• Gifting: the heart silhouette is timeless for anniversaries, birthdays, and bridal parties—add an extender for an easy, adjustable fit.
