Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Necklace | Gold / One Size 101300378113084

How to Measure Your Necklace

1. Measure your ideal chain length:
   • Wrap a soft measuring tape (or a piece of string you can later measure) around your neck.
   • Adjust it to where you want the necklace to sit (choker, collarbone, below collarbone, etc.).
   • Note the length in inches or centimeters. If using string, lay it flat against a ruler to read the measurement.
2. Measure an existing necklace (if comparing):
   • Lay it flat and measure end-to-end from the tip of the clasp to the end ring. Include the clasp in the total.
   • If there is an extender, note the minimum and maximum lengths (e.g., 16–18 in / 40–45 cm).
3. Measure pendant size and drop:
   • Pendant height: measure from the top of the bail (the loop) to the bottom of the pendant.
   • Pendant width: measure the widest point across the pendant.
   • Drop (how low it hangs): add the pendant height to the point on your chest where the chain rests.
4. Measure the stone (moissanite) size:
   • Round stones are measured by diameter (mm). Other shapes use length × width (mm).
   • Moissanite is often referenced by diamond-equivalent weight (DEW). See size guide below for an approximate look.
5. Note hardware details:
   • Clasp type (spring-ring or lobster) and extender length (commonly +2 in / 5 cm).
   • Chain thickness (mm) if you need to match or layer with other pieces.

Common Chain Lengths and Where They Fall

• 14 in (35.5 cm) – choker fit
• 16 in (40.5 cm) – sits at the base of the neck/collarbone on most
• 18 in (45.5 cm) – just below the collarbone (most popular everyday length)
• 20 in (51 cm) – upper chest
• 22–24 in (56–61 cm) – mid-chest, ideal for layering

Moissanite Size Guide (approximate diamond-equivalent look)

• 3.0 mm ≈ 0.10 ct DEW
• 3.5 mm ≈ 0.15–0.17 ct DEW
• 4.0 mm ≈ 0.25 ct DEW
• 4.5 mm ≈ 0.35 ct DEW
• 5.0 mm ≈ 0.50 ct DEW
• 5.5 mm ≈ 0.65 ct DEW
• 6.0 mm ≈ 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
• 9.0 mm ≈ 2.70–2.80 ct DEW
• 10.0 mm ≈ 3.8–4.0 ct DEW

Notes: DEW is an appearance-based comparison to a diamond of similar size, not the actual weight of moissanite. Actual measurements and appearance can vary slightly by cut and setting.

Materials

Moissanite (Lab-Created)

• Composition: silicon carbide (SiC), ethically grown in a lab and conflict-free.
• Hardness: ~9.25 on the Mohs scale for excellent scratch resistance.
• Brilliance and fire: refractive index ~2.65–2.69 with high dispersion (~0.104) for a vivid sparkle.
• Durability: tough and heat-resistant; suitable for daily wear with proper care.
• Clarity and color: typically offered in near-colorless to colorless ranges; grade may vary by specific piece.

925 Sterling Silver

• Alloy: 92.5% pure silver + 7.5% copper (or similar) for strength and durability.
• Look and feel: bright white luster; comfortable and lightweight for everyday wear.
• Tarnish: natural silver may oxidize over time with air/sulfur exposure; easily refreshed with a silver polishing cloth.
• Plating: some sterling silver jewelry is rhodium-plated for extra shine and tarnish resistance; if applicable, clean gently to preserve plating.
• Sensitivity: generally hypoallergenic for most wearers; confirm nickel content if you have known sensitivities.

About This Necklace (Model Information)

• Design: a refined moissanite focal stone set in solid 925 sterling silver for a bright, elegant profile.
• Feel: lightweight and comfortable for daily wear or special occasions.
• Closure: typically a spring-ring or lobster clasp; some variants include a 2 in (5 cm) extender for flexible fit.
• Finish: high-polish sterling silver; some versions may feature rhodium plating for added shine.
• Hallmark: sterling silver jewelry is commonly stamped “925”; check product photos/details for your specific piece.
• Fit guidance: 16–18 in is popular for everyday and layering; choose 20+ in for a longer, more relaxed drop or to accommodate higher necklines.

Exact specifications (stone size/cut, chain style, extender length) may vary by variant. Refer to the product options and images for the precise configuration.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Daily care:
  • Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove oils and perspiration.
  • Put jewelry on last—after lotions, perfumes, hairsprays, and sunscreen.
• Cleaning:
  • Soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 5–10 minutes. Gently brush with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
  • Silver-specific polishing cloths refresh tarnish; avoid tissue or paper towels that can scratch.
  • Ultrasonic/steam cleaners: generally safe for moissanite; if your piece is plated or has delicate/glued components, use only mild soap-and-water cleaning.
• Storage:
  • Store in a dry, closed container—ideally an anti-tarnish pouch or box.
  • Keep pieces separate to prevent scratches and tangling.
• What to avoid:
  • Harsh chemicals (bleach, chlorine, sulfur, ammonia), hot tubs, and pools.
  • Rough activities or impacts that may stress the setting.
  • Abrasive cleaners and toothpaste on silver or plated finishes.
• Professional care:
  • Have prongs and settings checked periodically if worn daily.
  • If rhodium-plated, re-plate as needed to maintain a bright white finish.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: wear solo on a 16–18 in chain for a clean, luminous look.
• Layering: mix with a shorter choker and a longer 20–24 in chain. Vary chain styles and thicknesses for depth.
• Necklines:
  • V-neck/sweetheart – 16–18 in places the stone at the point of the V.
  • Crew neck – 18–20 in to sit just below the collar.
  • Plunge or off-shoulder – 18–22 in depending on where you want the pendant to land.
• Mix metals thoughtfully: sterling silver pairs beautifully with white gold and platinum tones.
• Occasion-ready: elevate with matching moissanite studs or a simple tennis bracelet for cohesive sparkle.
• Gifting: timeless, size-flexible, and easy to style—ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, and bridal parties.
