How to Measure

Pendant Size

• Height (pendant only): Measure from the top of the cross to the bottom tip, excluding the bail/loop.
• Height (with bail): Measure from the top of the bail to the bottom tip of the cross.
• Width: Measure from the far left to the far right ends of the cross arms.
• Bail opening: Measure the inner height and width of the bail to ensure your preferred chain fits (add 0.5–1 mm of clearance).
• Stone size: If stones are listed in millimeters, use a ruler or calipers. Common reference: 3 mm ≈ 0.10 ct, 4 mm ≈ 0.25 ct, 5 mm ≈ 0.50 ct, 6.5 mm ≈ 1.00 ct (per round stone).

Chain Length

• Use a soft measuring tape (or string + ruler) around your neck where the chain will sit. Add the desired drop for the pendant.
• Common looks (approximate):
  • Women: 16 in = choker; 18 in = at collarbone; 20 in = just below collarbone.
  • Men: 20 in = at collarbone; 22 in = just below collarbone; 24 in = mid-chest.
• Consider pendant drop: total hang = chain length/2 + pendant height (with bail).
• Chain thickness: For a refined look, 1–2 mm chains complement most cross pendants; ensure the bail can accommodate the chain.

Materials & What to Expect

Moissanite (Lab-Created)

• Composition: Silicon carbide (SiC), lab-grown and conflict-free.
• Brilliance & fire: Exceptionally sparkly; dispersion ~0.104 (often more colorful fire than diamond).
• Durability: Hardness ~9.25 on the Mohs scale; suitable for daily wear with proper care.
• Color & clarity: Typically colorless to near-colorless with high clarity; exact grades vary by batch.
• Heat resistance: Stable under normal wear and cleaning conditions.

Platinum Plating

• Appearance: Bright white, high-luster finish that enhances shine and provides a smooth feel.
• Protection: Helps resist tarnish and surface dulling versus unplated finishes.
• Wear over time: As with all plating, the layer can gradually wear—especially at edges and contact points; re-plating can restore the finish.

Base Metal

• Common bases for platinum-plated jewelry include sterling silver, stainless steel, or brass (the exact base varies by listing).
• If you have metal sensitivities, choose pieces specifically labeled nickel-free or sterling silver-based.
• Check the product specifications for confirmed base metal, chain type, and clasp style.

Fit & Model Reference

• Pendant scale: Cross pendants typically range ~20–35 mm tall. Smaller (20–25 mm) reads delicate; larger (30–35 mm) reads statement.
• Women’s reference: 18 in generally rests at the collarbone; a 20 in chain gives a little extra drop for layering.
• Men’s reference: 20–22 in commonly suits everyday wear; 24 in offers a more relaxed, mid-chest look.
• Layering tip: If layering, space chain lengths by ~2 in for a clean stack (e.g., 16 + 18 + 20 in).

Care Guide (To Keep It Lovely Longer)

• Daily wear: Put jewelry on last, after lotions, perfume, and hair products.
• Cleaning: Soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 2–3 minutes. Gently brush the stone and setting with a soft brush; rinse and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Avoid: Harsh chemicals, chlorine, bleach, hot tubs, and abrasive cleaners or polishing pastes.
• Ultrasonic cleaners: Generally fine for moissanite, but may accelerate wear on plated finishes—hand cleaning is safest for plating.
• Storage: Keep separately in a soft pouch or compartment to prevent scratches and minimize friction that can wear plating.
• Activities: Remove before exercising, swimming, or heavy tasks to reduce impact and abrasion.
• Maintenance: Periodically check prongs and settings; re-plate as needed to refresh luster.

Style Tips

• Minimalist: Wear solo on an 18–20 in chain for a clean, everyday look.
• Layered: Stack with a shorter cable or box chain and a longer pendant for dimension.
• Mixed textures: Pair with a tennis chain or bead chain to contrast the cross silhouette.
• Earrings: Match with simple studs or small hoops to keep the focus on the pendant.
• Necklines: Complements V-necks, scoop necks, and button-downs; adjust chain length to sit just above the neckline.
• Gifting: A meaningful choice for milestones, confirmations, anniversaries, and holidays.
