Two-Tone 1 Carat Moissanite Round Pendant Necklace | 100100915760330

How to Measure Your Necklace and Pendant

1. Find your ideal chain length:
   • Use a soft measuring tape or a string. Wrap it around your neck to where you want the pendant to sit and measure the length.
   • Common lengths and where they sit on most necks:
     • 16 in (40 cm) – high at the collarbone
     • 18 in (45 cm) – at the collarbone (most popular)
     • 20 in (50 cm) – just below the collarbone
     • 22–24 in (55–60 cm) – upper chest
2. Understand the stone size:
   • This design features a 1 ct diamond-equivalent round moissanite, which is approximately 6.5 mm in diameter.
   • The setting typically adds about 1–2 mm to the overall face size of the pendant.
3. Estimate pendant drop:
   • Drop is how far the pendant hangs from the back of the neck. As a quick check, try on a chain of your chosen length (or a string cut to length) and mark where the pendant would rest.
   • Include the pendant’s total height (stone + setting + bail). Many round solitaire pendants measure roughly 12–18 mm tall including the bail, depending on the design.
4. Check the bail opening (if you plan to use your own chain):
   • Measure your chain’s thickness; most bails accommodate chains up to about 2–3 mm, but this can vary by pendant.
5. Layering tip:
   • For a tidy layered look, space chains 2 inches (5 cm) apart (for example, 16 in + 18 in + 20 in).

Note: All measurements are approximate and may vary slightly due to hand-finishing and setting style.

Materials and Gem Information

• Moissanite (center stone):
  • Cut and size: Round brilliant, ~1 ct diamond-equivalent (≈6.5 mm diameter).
  • Origin: Lab-grown and conflict-free.
  • Performance: Exceptional brilliance and fire; high refractive index (≈2.65–2.69).
  • Durability: Very hard (≈9.25 on the Mohs scale) and suitable for daily wear.
  • Color/clarity (typical for premium moissanite): Near-colorless to colorless; high clarity.
• Two-tone metal setting:
  • Two contrasting precious metal tones for versatile styling (a cool white tone paired with a warm yellow or rose tone).
  • The white tone is often achieved with rhodium-finished white metal; the warm tone may be solid gold or gold-plated, depending on the specific style.
  • Two-tone construction lets you effortlessly mix silver- and gold-toned accessories.
• Chain (if included with this style):
  • Typically a fine cable or box chain matched to the pendant’s tones.
  • Common gauges are ~0.8–1.2 mm for an elegant, everyday look.

If you need the exact metal composition (e.g., sterling silver with rhodium finish, 14K/18K gold accents, or solid gold), please refer to the product’s metal specification on this page.

Model Information

• On-model reference length: 18 in (45 cm), which typically sits at the collarbone for a classic solitaire look.
• For a higher, more minimal look similar to a choker, choose 16 in (40 cm). For a lower, slightly elongated drop, choose 20 in (50 cm).
• If your neck circumference is fuller or you prefer extra ease, consider sizing up by 2 inches from your measured collarbone length.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Daily care:
  • Put jewelry on last, after lotions, perfumes, and hairspray.
  • Remove before swimming, showering, exercising, or cleaning.
• Cleaning:
  • Soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap, then gently brush with a soft toothbrush; rinse and pat dry.
  • Moissanite tolerates ultrasonic cleaning, but if your piece is plated, hand-cleaning is safer to preserve the finish.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals, silver dips, or abrasive cloths on plated surfaces.
• Storage:
  • Store in a soft pouch or a separate compartment to prevent scratches and tangling.
  • Use anti-tarnish strips if storing sterling silver.
• Long-term care:
  • Check prongs and the bail periodically; have a jeweler tighten or re-polish as needed.
  • Rhodium or gold plating can be refreshed by a jeweler if it shows wear over time.

Style Tips

• Two-tone versatility: Mix and match with both silver/white gold and yellow/rose gold pieces without clashing.
• Layering: Pair the pendant at 18 in with a 16 in choker and a 20–22 in longer chain for depth and dimension.
• Neckline pairing:
  • V-neck and scoop necklines showcase the round pendant beautifully.
  • Button-downs: Fasten one or two buttons lower and let the pendant sit at the collarbone.
• Everyday to evening: Wear solo for minimal polish by day; add hoops or moissanite studs for an elevated evening set.
• Gifting: A classic round solitaire appeals to many styles and makes a timeless anniversary, birthday, or bridal gift.
