How to measure your necklace
- Find your chain length:
- Wrap a soft measuring tape (or a string) around the base of your neck where the chain will sit. Add 2–5 cm (0.8–2 in) for comfort.
- If using string, mark your preferred length, lay it flat, and measure end‑to‑end including the clasp area.
- Decide where you want the pendant to rest:
- Use a string to test the drop point from the base of your neck to your desired spot on the chest.
- Choose the nearest standard chain length (remember: drop ≈ half the chain length plus the pendant’s height).
- Measure the pendant (if dimensions are provided in photos/specs):
- Height: top of bail to bottom of pendant.
- Width: widest point across the pendant.
- Small 12–16 mm = subtle, 18–22 mm = everyday, 24–30 mm = statement.
- Layering guide:
- Start with 40–45 cm (16–18 in) as a base; add layers in 5 cm (2 in) steps to keep pieces from tangling.
- Keep 5–7 cm (2–3 in) between each layer for a clean cascade.
- Extender tip:
- If the necklace includes an extender, you’ll have a range (e.g., 45–50 cm / 18–20 in). Measure both the shortest and longest wearable points.

Materials & craftsmanship
The Titanium Steel Sun & Moon Necklace is made from titanium steel—a jewelry trade term commonly used for high‑grade 316L stainless steel.
- 316L stainless steel core: renowned for durability and corrosion resistance; ideal for daily wear.
- Skin friendly: 316L is known for low nickel release and is comfortable for most skin types.
- Finish options: natural steel tone or PVD color finishes (e.g., gold‑tone). PVD (physical vapor deposition) bonds the color in a vacuum for better longevity than standard electroplating.
- Tarnish resistant: unlike many base metals, 316L resists rust and maintains its shine with minimal upkeep.
- Meaningful symbolism: sun (energy and clarity) + moon (intuition and calm) for a balanced, celestial touch.
If your piece is a gold‑tone variant, treat it like a plated finish—avoid abrasives and harsh chemicals to preserve the color.
Model & fit notes
On‑body appearance depends on neck size and chosen chain length. Use these guidelines to match the look you want:
- Close, everyday look: 40–45 cm (16–18 in) sits near the collarbone.
- Layer‑friendly drape: 50–55 cm (20–22 in) falls over tees and light knits.
- Statement length: 60 cm (24 in) creates a longer, dramatic drop or fits comfortably over higher necklines.
- Unisex fit: choose longer lengths for broader frames or for wearing over clothing.
Care guide — to keep it lovely longer
- After wear: wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove sweat and skin oils.
- Avoid chemicals: keep away from perfume, hairspray, lotions, chlorine, and cleaning agents.
- Water: 316L handles water well, but rinse and dry thoroughly after contact with salt/chlorinated water to keep the finish pristine.
- Cleaning: use mild soap and lukewarm water; pat dry completely. Avoid silver dips, ultrasonic cleaners, and abrasive polishes—especially on PVD finishes.
- Storage: keep dry in a pouch or jewelry box; store pieces separately to prevent scratches. Add a small silica packet in humid climates.
- Handling: remove before heavy workouts, contact sports, or sleep to prevent snags. Check clasp and connections periodically.
Style tips
- Layer the celestial look: pair with a shorter choker (35–40 cm) and a longer chain (50–60 cm) for dimension.
- Everyday minimalism: wear solo with a crisp tee or open‑collar shirt to let the sun & moon motif shine.
- Mix your metals: titanium steel pairs well with both silver and gold tones—balance with simple hoops or celestial studs.
- Dress it up: add delicate chains or a tiny gemstone pendant above/below for evening polish.
- Seasonal styling: shorter lengths for tanks and dresses; longer lengths over sweaters and turtlenecks.
