Moissanite Pearl Rhodium-Plated Necklace | 101300893959424

How to Measure

• Chain length: Wrap a soft measuring tape (or a string you then measure) around your neck to the point you want the necklace to sit. Common lengths:
  • 14 in / 35 cm: choker (high at the base of the neck)
  • 16 in / 40 cm: at the collarbone (classic short length)
  • 18 in / 45 cm: just below the collarbone
  • 20–22 in / 50–56 cm: above the bust; great for layering
• Pearl size: Measured across the widest point of the pearl in millimeters (mm). For visual scale, ~6–7 mm = delicate, ~7.5–8.5 mm = classic, 9+ mm = statement.
• Moissanite size: Typically listed by millimeter (mm) diameter for rounds. Diamond-equivalent look (approx): 5.0 mm ≈ 0.5 ct, 6.5 mm ≈ 1.0 ct, 8.0 mm ≈ 2.0 ct. Millimeters give the most accurate idea of size.
• Pendant drop (if applicable): Measure from the top of the bail to the bottom of the pearl/setting.
• Chain thickness: Measure the width of the chain in mm. ~1.0–1.3 mm = fine, ~1.4–1.8 mm = medium, 2.0+ mm = sturdier look.
• Extender length: If the necklace includes an extender, measure it end-to-end and add it to the base chain length to know the full wearable range.

Materials & Properties

Moissanite

• Lab-grown silicon carbide (SiC) known for exceptional sparkle and fire.
• Hardness: ~9.25 on the Mohs scale for excellent everyday durability.
• High brilliance: refractive index approx. 2.65–2.69 for a bright, lively look.
• Color and clarity: Typically crafted to high standards; exact grading may vary by stone and cut.

Pearl

• Genuine cultured pearl (type and shape may vary by style); loved for its natural luster and glow.
• Composition: layers of nacre; softer than gemstones (Mohs ~2.5–4.5), so handle with care.
• Each pearl is unique; subtle variations in tone, surface and shape are normal and part of its character.

Rhodium Plating

• Rhodium (a platinum-group metal) is plated over a base metal to deliver a bright, white, high-polish finish and added tarnish resistance.
• Plating naturally wears on high-friction areas over time; avoid abrasives to keep it brilliant longer.
• For exact base metal (e.g., sterling silver or gold), please refer to the product’s specifications.

Model & Fit Notes

• Classic-collarbone look: Choose 16–18 in (40–45 cm).
• More relaxed/longer drape: Choose 20–22 in (50–56 cm).
• If layered: Stagger by 2–4 inches (e.g., 16 + 18 + 20 in) to keep each piece visible and to minimize tangling.
• Neck size guide: Measure your neck and add ~2 in (5 cm) for a close fit; add ~4 in (10 cm) for a longer drape.
• Pearl and pendant size affect perceived length: Larger centers sit a touch lower; allow a little extra length if you prefer more space at the neckline.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: Put the necklace on after makeup, perfume, hairspray and sunscreen; remove before gym, swimming, or showering.
• Daily wipe-down: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove skin oils and residue.
• Avoid chemicals: Keep away from perfumes, alcohol-based products, household cleaners, chlorine, and saltwater.
• Storage: Store separately in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches; avoid extreme heat or very dry environments for pearls.

Cleaning

• Moissanite: Clean with lukewarm water, a drop of mild soap, and a very soft brush. Rinse well and pat dry.
• Pearl: Do not soak. Wipe gently with a slightly damp soft cloth; let air-dry before storing. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
• Rhodium-plated areas: Do not use abrasive polishes or treated cloths; a gentle microfiber cloth is best. Replating by a professional jeweler can restore brightness if wear occurs over time.

Style Tips

• Everyday elegance: Wear solo for a clean, luminous look that elevates tees, knits, and button-downs.
• Layering: Pair with a fine cable or box chain at 14–16 in and a longer chain at 20–22 in. Keep pearls from rubbing against textured pieces.
• Occasions: A refined choice for bridal, black-tie, and milestone celebrations; moissanite adds sparkle while the pearl keeps it timeless.
• Necklines: Highlights V-necks and sweetheart cuts; adds polish to crew and boat necks; layers beautifully over slip dresses.
• Coordinate: Team with petite moissanite studs, classic pearl earrings, or a slim rhodium/white-gold bracelet for a cohesive set.
• Gifting: Pearls are the June birthstone—this piece makes a thoughtful birthday, anniversary, or thank-you gift.
