Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Necklace

How to Measure

• Chain length:
  • Wrap a soft measuring tape (or a piece of string) around your neck to the point you want the pendant to rest. Measure the string and select the closest chain length.
  • Typical fall points for most necks: 16 in (40 cm) sits at the base of the neck; 18 in (45 cm) near the collarbone; 20 in (50 cm) just below the collarbone; 22–24 in (55–60 cm) mid-chest.
• Pendant size:
  • Measure total height from the top of the bail (the loop) to the bottom of the pendant, and width at the widest point using a millimeter ruler.
• Stone size:
  • For a round center stone, measure diameter in millimeters. Common visual equivalents (diamond-equivalent size): 5.0 mm ≈ 0.5 ct DEW, 6.5 mm ≈ 1.0 ct DEW, 8.0 mm ≈ 2.0 ct DEW.
• Chain thickness:
  • Measure the width of the chain in mm. Delicate everyday chains are commonly around 1.0–1.5 mm.

Tip: If layering, choose lengths spaced 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) apart for a clean, tangle‑resistant stack.

Materials

Moissanite

• Origin: Lab-created gemstone; optically brilliant and conflict‑free.
• Durability: 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale for excellent scratch resistance suitable for daily wear.
• Sparkle: High refractive index (about 2.65–2.69) and exceptional fire for vivid brilliance.
• Clarity and color: Typically crafted for high clarity; available in colorless to near‑colorless grades.
• Care friendly: Will not turn cloudy; easy to clean with mild soap and water.

925 Sterling Silver

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver blended with 7.5% alloy (commonly copper) for strength.
• Finish: Often rhodium‑plated for extra shine and improved tarnish resistance.
• Skin sensitivity: Generally nickel‑free and hypoallergenic for most wearers.
• Hallmark: Stamped “925” to denote sterling purity.

About This Model

• Design intent: A timeless, minimal silhouette that highlights the brilliance of moissanite on a refined sterling silver chain for effortless, everyday elegance.
• Fit guide on a model:
  • 16 in typically rests at the base of the neck for most; 18 in sits at the collarbone; 20 in falls just below. Choose longer lengths for higher necklines or layering.
• Comfort and wear: Lightweight and suitable for daily use; smooth edges and polished surfaces help prevent snagging on knitwear.
• Closure: Commonly fitted with a spring ring or lobster clasp for secure fastening.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Everyday care:
  • Put on jewelry after makeup, perfume, hairspray, and lotions.
  • Remove before swimming, showering, exercising, or household cleaning.
• Cleaning:
  • Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 5–10 minutes. Gently brush with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and pat dry with a lint‑free cloth.
  • Use a silver polishing cloth to restore shine to sterling; avoid abrasive cleaners and paper towels.
  • Ultrasonic cleaners are generally safe for moissanite; avoid if the piece has glued components or delicate antique finishes.
• Storage:
  • Store in an airtight pouch or box, ideally with anti‑tarnish strips. Keep pieces separate to prevent scratches.
• Maintenance:
  • Periodically check prongs and settings. If rhodium‑plated, consider professional re‑plating over time to refresh brightness.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: Wear solo over a crew or V‑neck for a clean, bright focal point.
• Layered look: Pair with shorter chokers (14–16 in) or longer chains (20–22 in) for dimension without overpowering the centerpiece.
• Occasion dressing: Complement with simple moissanite or diamond‑equivalent studs for cohesive sparkle.
• Metal mix: Sterling silver stacks well with white gold and platinum pieces for a modern, tonal look.
• Neckline matching: Choose 16–18 in for scoop and V‑necks; 20–22 in for high neck and turtleneck styles.
