Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Necklace | Gold / One Size 100500603951461

How to Measure

Find your ideal chain length

1. Wrap a string where you want the necklace to sit (base of neck, collarbone, or lower).
2. Mark the meeting point and measure the string against a ruler to get the length in inches or centimeters.
3. If your necklace has an extender, the total wearable range is base length + extender (for example, 16 in + 2 in extender = 16–18 in).

• 14 in: choker (high at the neck)
• 16 in: sits at the base of the neck (princess)
• 18 in: just below the collarbone (most popular everyday length)
• 20–22 in: upper bust; great for layering and higher necklines

Measure the pendant and stone

1. Use a ruler or caliper to measure the pendant’s height and width in millimeters (mm). Note: many listings measure the pendant without the bail.
2. For a round moissanite, measure the diameter (mm). Round size guides (approximate Diamond Equivalent Weight, DEW):

• 5.0 mm ≈ 0.50 ct DEW
• 6.0 mm ≈ 0.75–0.80 ct DEW
• 6.5 mm ≈ 1.00 ct DEW
• 7.0 mm ≈ 1.25 ct DEW
• 7.5 mm ≈ 1.50 ct DEW
• 8.0 mm ≈ 2.00 ct DEW

Tip: To predict how it will sit, measure your neck circumference and add 2 inches for a close fit at the collarbone.

Materials

Moissanite (lab-created silicon carbide)

• Brilliance: high refractive index ~2.65–2.69 for exceptional sparkle.
• Durability: 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, suitable for daily wear.
• Fire/dispersion: ~0.104 for vivid rainbow flashes under light.
• Heat and chemical stability: handles everyday temperature changes; clean with mild soap and water.
• Ethical profile: lab-grown, requiring no mining.

925 Sterling Silver

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% alloy (commonly copper) for strength.
• Hallmark: typically stamped 925 or S925.
• Finish: may be high-polish or rhodium plated to enhance shine and slow tarnish.
• Care: like all silver, can develop a natural patina; easily brightened with appropriate cleaning.

Model & Fit Notes

• Length guide on body: 16 in sits at the base of the neck; 18 in rests just below the collarbone; 20–22 in falls to the upper bust.
• Stone scale on the neckline: 4–5 mm reads dainty; 6–7 mm classic everyday presence; 8+ mm leans statement.
• Photos may be shown close-up to highlight detail. Use the measurements above for true-to-life scale.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: apply lotions, perfume, and hairspray before putting on your necklace.
• Remove before showering, swimming, exercising, or cleaning to protect the finish.
• Daily wipe: polish gently with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and fingerprints.
• Quick clean: soak 10–15 minutes in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap; brush softly (especially behind the stone), rinse, and dry completely.
• Sterling silver care: store in a dry, airtight pouch or box with an anti-tarnish strip; occasional silver polishing cloth restores shine.
• If rhodium plated: avoid abrasive polishes and “silver dips”; stick to mild soap and water.
• Avoid harsh chemicals (bleach, ammonia, chlorine) that can dull metal finishes.
• Check periodically that the bail, setting prongs, and clasp are secure.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: wear solo at 16–18 in for crisp, bright sparkle with tees, blouses, and blazers.
• Layering: combine with a short choker and a 20–22 in chain; mix textures for depth.
• Necklines: V-necks and wrap styles flatter a centered pendant; crew necks pair well with longer lengths.
• Earring pairings: moissanite studs or simple hoops keep the focus clean and cohesive.
• Metal mix: sterling silver complements white-gold tones and cool palettes for a modern look.
• Occasions: a classic gift for birthdays, anniversaries, graduation, bridal parties, and everyday elegance.
