Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Heart Shape Necklace | Gold / One Size 100500474141794

How to Measure Your Necklace

• Chain length: Lay the necklace flat and measure end‑to‑end, including the clasp. If the chain is adjustable, note the full range (e.g., 16–18 in / 40–45 cm).
• Pendant size: Measure the heart from the highest point to the lowest tip (height) and the widest point side‑to‑side (width). If there is a bail (the loop), note pendant height both excluding and including the bail.
• Stone size (moissanite): Heart stones are commonly listed in millimeters (mm). Measure across the widest part of the heart. Approximate diamond‑equivalent weights (DEW) for reference: 5 mm ≈ ~0.5 ct, 6.5 mm ≈ ~1.0 ct, 8 mm ≈ ~2.0 ct (varies by cut depth and shape).
• Chain thickness: Measure the widest point of the chain in millimeters (common delicate chains are ~0.8–1.2 mm).

Fit tips: Use a string to test lengths. Wrap it around your neck to your preferred drop, mark it, then measure the string. Typical placements: 16 in (40 cm) sits at the base of the neck, 18 in (45 cm) at the collarbone, 20 in (50 cm) just below the collarbone.

Note: Manual measurements can vary by ±1–2 mm.

Materials Information

Moissanite (Heart‑Cut)

• Origin: Typically lab‑created and conflict‑free.
• Brilliance & fire: Very high sparkle with a refractive index ~2.65–2.69 and dispersion ~0.104 (more “fire” than diamond).
• Durability: Mohs hardness ~9.25 for excellent scratch resistance and daily wear.
• Clarity & color: Often offered in colorless to near‑colorless grades; maintains clarity and luster with simple cleaning.
• Care compatibility: Safe with light, warm‑soapy‑water cleaning and soft brushes; avoids damage from normal hand washing when removed during cleaning process.

925 Sterling Silver

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver alloyed with 7.5% other metals (commonly copper) for strength.
• Hallmark: Look for “925” or “S925” stamping indicating sterling purity.
• Finish: Many sterling pieces are rhodium‑plated to enhance shine and help resist tarnish (plating care differs from bare silver; see Care Guide).
• Wear & skin: Generally hypoallergenic for most wearers; alloy blends can vary. If sensitive to nickel, confirm alloy specifics with the seller.
• Tarnish: Sterling naturally oxidizes over time; proper storage and gentle polishing help maintain brightness.

Model & Fit Guide

• Common on‑model chain lengths for heart pendants are 16–18 in (40–45 cm), placing the heart at or near the collarbone.
• Average fit reference: 16 in sits at the base of the neck; 18 in at the collarbone; 20 in just below. For higher necklines, consider 20–22 in; for low or V‑necklines, 16–18 in highlights the heart shape.
• How to replicate the look: Match your preferred string‑measured length to the chain options. Compare the pendant’s stated height/width to a coin or ruler to visualize its presence on your frame.

Care Guide (To Keep It Lovely Longer)

• Daily wear: Put the necklace on last (after lotions, perfume, hairspray) and take it off first.
• Cleaning: Soak briefly in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, gently brush the stone and metal with a soft brush, rinse, and pat dry with a lint‑free cloth.
• Polishing: Use a soft silver or jewelry polishing cloth. If rhodium‑plated, avoid abrasive polishes and silver dips that can strip plating.
• Avoid: Pools, hot tubs, saltwater, bleach, chlorine, sulfur springs, and harsh chemicals. Remove before exercising, showering, or sleeping.
• Storage: Keep dry and separate in a pouch or box; add an anti‑tarnish strip or airtight bag to slow oxidation.
• Checkups: Periodically inspect the setting and bail. If heavily tarnished or if prongs need tightening, let a professional jeweler clean and service it.

Style Tips

• Everyday sparkle: Wear solo at 16–18 in for a clean, heart‑at‑the‑collarbone look. Pair with simple sterling studs or huggies.
• Layering: Stack with a 14–15 in choker and a 20–22 in chain. Mix textures (rope, box, paperclip) while keeping metals in the same tone for cohesion.
• Necklines: The heart shines with V‑necks and sweetheart necklines, complements scoop and off‑shoulder, and can go longer over high crew or turtlenecks.
• Occasions: Perfect for date nights, gifting, bridal parties, anniversaries, and everyday romance‑forward styling.
• Match set: Coordinate with a slim sterling bracelet or a moissanite solitaire ring for a refined, luminous set.
• Gifting size tip: If unsure, choose an adjustable 16–18 in chain—universally flattering and easy to style.
