Moissanite North Star Pendant 925 Sterling Silver Necklace | Gold / One Size 101300516961670

How to Measure Your Necklace

Use a ruler or calipers for the most accurate results. A soft measuring tape also works. For quick scale, a U.S. dime is ~18 mm wide and a quarter is ~24 mm.

• Pendant (North Star)
  • Height with bail: measure from the top of the bail to the bottom tip of the star.
  • Height without bail: measure from the top star point to the bottom star point.
  • Width: measure the widest point-to-point span across the star.
  • Thickness: measure side profile at the thickest part.
  • Stone size (if measuring center moissanite): measure the diameter across the widest part of the stone.
• Bail opening (where the chain passes)
  • Inner height and inner width: this determines the maximum chain size that will fit.
  • Tip: choose a chain that is slimmer than the smallest internal bail measurement.
• Chain
  • Total length: lay flat and measure end to end, including clasp. If there is an extender, note both the shortest and longest wearable lengths.
  • Thickness/gauge: measure the width of the link at its widest point.

Conversion reference: 1 inch = 25.4 mm.

Materials & Craftsmanship

• Moissanite
  • Lab-grown gemstone known for exceptional brilliance and fire (refractive index ~2.65–2.69).
  • Durability: 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale for everyday wear.
  • Stable under typical household temperatures and light; safe for gentle cleaning.
• 925 Sterling Silver
  • Composition: 92.5% pure silver + 7.5% strengthening alloy (commonly copper).
  • Look for “925” or “S925” hallmark where applicable.
  • Natural tarnish can occur over time with exposure to air and moisture; it is normal and can be polished away.
  • Some sterling pieces are rhodium plated for extra brightness and tarnish resistance. If yours is plated, avoid abrasive polishing compounds that could thin the plating.
  • Allergy note: sterling silver is generally nickel-safe when alloyed with copper, but sensitivities vary. If you have metal sensitivities, check the listing or with the seller for any nickel or plating details.

Model & Fit Notes

If product photos include a model, the images are for scale guidance. Chain length and body proportions affect where the pendant sits:

• Choker (14–15 in / 35–38 cm): sits at the base of neck.
• Classic (16–18 in / 40–46 cm): usually around or just below the collarbone for most neck sizes.
• Longer (20–22 in / 50–56 cm): below the collarbone; layers well with shorter chains.

Fit tip: measure your neck with a soft tape and add 2 inches (5 cm) for a close fit, or 4 inches (10 cm) for a looser drape. The pendant’s visual size increases slightly on shorter chains because it sits higher on the chest.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: put your necklace on after lotions, perfume, hairspray; remove before workouts, showering, swimming, or sleeping.
• Daily care: wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove skin oils and moisture.
• Deep clean (as needed): soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 5–10 minutes, brush gently with a soft toothbrush (front and back of stone and around prongs/bail), rinse, and pat dry.
• Silver care: use a non-abrasive silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish. Avoid silver “dips” on pieces with stones or plating.
• Plating note: if rhodium plated, avoid abrasive cloths or pastes that can wear the plating; use gentle soap-and-water and a soft cloth.
• Storage: keep dry and store individually in a soft pouch or box. An anti-tarnish strip or zip bag reduces silver tarnish.
• Chemical caution: avoid chlorine, bleach, sulfur-rich hot springs, and household cleaners.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: wear solo on a 16–18 in chain so the North Star rests at the collarbone and catches light.
• Layered look: pair with a shorter choker (14–15 in) and a longer chain (20–22 in). Mix textures (box, cable, or paperclip) to frame the pendant.
• Celestial set: match with star or moon studs/ear climbers for a cohesive theme.
• Occasion dressing: amplify sparkle by layering with a delicate tennis necklace or station chain; keep earrings simple to let the pendant shine.
• Metal mix: sterling silver pairs seamlessly with white gold or platinum tones for a modern, cool-metal stack.
• Gifting symbolism: the North Star represents guidance, hope, and direction—thoughtful for milestones like graduations, new jobs, or birthdays.
• Necklines: V-neck and scoop highlight the star point; boat and crew necklines suit mid-length layers.
