Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Necklace | Silver / One Size 100100238738233

How to Measure Your Necklace

Use a soft measuring tape or a piece of string and a ruler. These quick steps help you choose the right chain length, pendant size, and stone size.

• Chain length
  • Wrap a string around your neck to where you want the pendant to sit. Mark the point where the ends meet, lay flat, and measure — that is your ideal chain length.
  • If you already own a necklace you like, measure end-to-end from clasp to ring.
  • Common fits: 16 in (choker/collarbone on many), 18 in (classic everyday), 20–22 in (below collarbone), 24–30 in (long/statement).
• Pendant size & drop
  • Measure from the top of the bail to the bottom of the pendant for total drop length.
  • Measure width at the widest point of the setting.
  • Check that your chain’s thickness fits through the pendant bail opening.
• Chain thickness (gauge)
  • Typical daily-wear chains are about 0.8–1.2 mm; more substantial looks start ~1.5 mm.
  • Match chain thickness to pendant size so the proportions feel balanced.
• Stone size (mm to diamond-equivalent weight)
  • Approximate round size guide: 5.0 mm ≈ 0.5 ct, 6.0 mm ≈ 0.75 ct, 6.5 mm ≈ 1.0 ct, 7.5 mm ≈ 1.5 ct, 8.0 mm ≈ 2.0 ct.
  • These are approximate; actual spread and setting style can make stones appear larger or smaller.

Materials & Quality

This piece combines a lab-grown moissanite gemstone with solid 925 sterling silver.

• Moissanite (Lab-Created)
  • Composition: silicon carbide (SiC); ethically lab-grown and conflict-free.
  • Durability: 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale; suitable for everyday wear.
  • Brilliance: very high refractive index (~2.65–2.69) and strong fire/dispersion (~0.104) for exceptional sparkle.
  • Color/clarity: typically near-colorless and eye-clean; exact grade may vary by stone.
  • Care: resistant to heat and doesn’t cloud with proper cleaning.
• 925 Sterling Silver
  • Alloy: 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% copper or similar metals for strength; often stamped “925” or “S925.”
  • Finish: many fine silver pieces are rhodium plated to enhance shine and reduce tarnish (finish may vary by batch).
  • Skin sensitivity: sterling silver is generally nickel-safe; those with severe sensitivities should confirm metal details before prolonged wear.
  • Tarnish: normal over time; easily refreshed with a silver polishing cloth.

Model & Fit Guide

• For a classic look that sits around the collarbone on many people, choose 18 in (45 cm). For higher or lower placement, size down to 16 in or up to 20–22 in.
• How to estimate your best length: measure your neck circumference and add 2 in for a fitted choker, 4 in for a relaxed collarbone length.
• Visual reference: many lookbook photos of similar necklaces use 16–18 in chains. Select longer lengths for layering or higher necklines.
• Stone presence: smaller stones (4–5.5 mm) read minimal and delicate; 6–7.5 mm feel classic and noticeable; 8 mm+ creates a statement.

Care Guide (Keep It Lovely Longer)

• Last on, first off: put your necklace on after skincare, perfume, and hair products; remove before workouts, swimming, or showering.
• Avoid chemicals: keep away from bleach, chlorine, sulfur, sprays, and household cleaners.
• Daily clean: rinse with lukewarm water and mild soap; gently brush behind the stone and setting; rinse well and pat dry.
• Deep clean (as needed): soak in warm water with a drop of dish soap for 10–15 minutes, brush softly, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
• Polish silver: use a soft silver polishing cloth; avoid abrasive powders on plated finishes.
• Storage: keep dry, stored separately in a pouch or box; use anti-tarnish tabs or a small silica gel pack to reduce humidity.
• Professional check: if prongs or clasps feel loose, have a jeweler inspect and tighten.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: pair a 16–18 in chain and a petite stone with simple studs or huggie hoops.
• Layering: mix lengths (e.g., 15–16 in choker + 18 in + 20–22 in) for depth; keep one focal pendant to avoid visual clutter.
• Necklines: V-neck or wrap tops pair beautifully with 16–18 in; higher crew necks suit 20–22 in; strapless or sweetheart necklines highlight 16 in.
• Occasion-ready: choose a larger moissanite or halo setting for formal events; balance with understated earrings.
• Metal harmony: sterling silver complements cool tones, whites, greys, blues, and black; it also layers well with white gold pieces.
