Moissanite Evil Eye Pendant 925 Sterling Silver Necklace | 101300167293327

How to Measure Your Necklace

Use a soft measuring tape or a piece of string plus a ruler. A small ruler or calipers help for the pendant.

1. Chain length:
   • Wrap a tape around your neck where you want the pendant to rest. Note the length and add 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 in) for comfort.
   • Common lengths: 14 in (35 cm) choker, 16 in (40 cm) collarbone, 18 in (45 cm) just below collarbone, 20–22 in (50–55 cm) décolletage.
2. Pendant size:
   • Height: measure from the top of the pendant (exclude the jump ring/bail if you want just the motif) to the bottom tip.
   • Width: measure the widest point across the Evil Eye motif.
   • Thickness/Depth: measure the side profile to understand how it will sit on the chest.
3. Bail opening (chain compatibility):
   • Measure the inner height and width of the bail (the loop). Ensure your preferred chain’s clasp and thickness can pass through. As a guide, most fine chains fit a ≥2 mm inner width bail.
4. Stone size (if noted in millimeters):
   • Moissanite is usually listed by diameter in mm. Approx. diamond-equivalent sizes for round stones: 5.0 mm ≈ 0.5 ct DE, 6.5 mm ≈ 1.0 ct DE, 8.0 mm ≈ 2.0 ct DE (DE = diamond equivalent).

Materials & Craftsmanship

• Moissanite:
  • Lab-grown, ethically produced gemstone known for exceptional brilliance and fire.
  • Hardness: ~9.25 on the Mohs scale for excellent daily-wear durability.
  • Refractive Index: ~2.65–2.69 and Dispersion (fire) ~0.104, giving more rainbow sparkle than many natural gems.
  • Heat and chemical stability suitable for routine cleaning; will not cloud with normal wear.
• 925 Sterling Silver:
  • Composition: 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% strengthening alloys (commonly copper).
  • Hallmark: Look for “925” stamp as an authenticity indicator.
  • Finish: Some sterling pieces are rhodium-plated for extra shine and tarnish resistance (finish may vary by batch).
  • Generally considered skin-friendly; store dry to minimize tarnish over time.
• Evil Eye Design:
  • Symbolic motif believed across Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and global cultures to offer protection and ward off negativity.
  • Balanced proportions designed to sit flat and catch light from multiple angles for added sparkle.

Model & Fit Reference

• Where it sits:
  • 16 in (40 cm): high at or near the collarbone for most; great for everyday.
  • 18 in (45 cm): just below the collarbone; versatile for most necklines.
  • 20–22 in (50–55 cm): lower on the chest; ideal for layering or higher necklines.
• Neck size guide:
  • Petite necks often prefer 16 in for a similar visual fit; average necks 18 in; broader necks 20–22 in for comfort and balance.
• Pendant presence:
  • For a delicate, subtle look, choose a shorter chain (16–18 in). For a bolder, talisman-style statement, opt for 20–22 in or layer with shorter chains.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Daily wear:
  • Put on after skincare, perfume, and hairspray to avoid residue on stones and silver.
  • Remove before exercising, swimming, showering, or cleaning.
• Cleaning at home:
  • Soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes.
  • Gently brush with a soft toothbrush (especially behind the stone), rinse, and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
  • Buff silver with a non-abrasive jewelry polishing cloth. Avoid paper towels or abrasive pastes.
  • If your design includes enamel or glued elements, avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
• Storage:
  • Store in an anti-tarnish pouch or box, individually, to prevent scratches.
  • Keep away from humidity; add a silica gel packet or anti-tarnish strip for extra protection.
• Professional care:
  • Have prongs and settings checked periodically if worn daily.
  • Rhodium finishes (if present) can be refreshed by a jeweler over time.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: Wear solo on a 16–18 in chain to let the Evil Eye be the focal point.
• Layered look: Pair with a shorter choker and a longer 20–22 in chain for dimension and a modern talisman stack.
• Neckline match: Scoop and V-necks flatter 16–18 in; crew and high necklines pair well with 20–22 in.
• Mix and match: Combine with slim silver huggie hoops or a tennis bracelet to echo the moissanite sparkle.
• Gifting: A meaningful symbol with high sparkle makes a timeless, protective keepsake for birthdays, graduations, and milestones.
