How to Measure

Pendant dimensions

• Height: Measure from the top of the bail to the bottom tip for total drop. Also measure the pendant body only (excluding the bail) for design size.
• Width: Measure at the widest point across the pendant.
• Depth/Thickness: Measure the profile from front to back for how it sits on the chest.
• Bail opening: Measure the inner height and width to confirm your chain’s thickness fits. A typical thin chain is about 0.8–1.2 mm; thicker chains may need a larger bail.
• Tools: Use a millimeter ruler or digital calipers. If you only have inches, 1 inch = 25.4 mm.

Stone size (Moissanite)

• Measure across the widest point of the stone (for round, straight across; for fancy shapes, measure length and width).
• Approximate round-size visual equivalents (DEW = Diamond Equivalent Weight):
  • 5.0 mm ≈ 0.5 ct DEW
  • 6.5 mm ≈ 1.0 ct DEW
  • 8.0 mm ≈ 2.0 ct DEW
  • 9.0 mm ≈ 2.75 ct DEW

Chain length and fit

• String method: Wrap a string where you’d like the pendant to sit, mark it, then measure the string to find your length.
• Common lengths and where they sit (most necks):
  • 14 in: high choker
  • 16 in: at the collarbone
  • 18 in: just below the collarbone
  • 20–22 in: upper bust
  • 24 in: mid-bust
• Comfort tip: For a collarbone look, choose your neck circumference plus about 2 inches.
• Layering tip: Leave 2 inches between layered chains to prevent tangling and to highlight the pendant.

Note: Exact specifications vary by selected options; refer to this page’s product details for the definitive measurements.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Moissanite gemstone

• Composition: Lab-created silicon carbide (SiC) for a brilliant, ethical gemstone.
• Hardness: 9.25 on the Mohs scale for excellent daily-wear durability.
• Brilliance and fire: High refractive index (about 2.65–2.69) and strong dispersion for exceptional sparkle.
• Stability: Resistant to heat and chemicals encountered in normal wear; will not cloud over time.
• Color and clarity: Commonly offered in near-colorless to colorless and high clarity grades; availability depends on the specific variant.

Metals (may vary by variant)

• Sterling silver: 925 sterling (92.5% silver), often finished with rhodium to enhance brightness and help resist tarnish.
• Gold: Solid 10k/14k/18k options may be available (14k = 58.5% gold, 18k = 75% gold). White gold is typically rhodium-finished; yellow and rose gold get their tone from the alloy mix.
• Platinum: Sometimes used for premium settings; naturally white and highly durable.
• Hallmarks: Look for stamps such as 925, S925, Au585 (14k), Au750 (18k), or Pt950, depending on the metal.
• Nickel sensitivity: If you are sensitive, choose nickel-free or hypoallergenic options where offered.

Chain and findings

• Typical chain styles: Cable, box, curb, or snake in fine widths for a refined look.
• Clasp: Usually spring ring or lobster clasp for secure wear.
• Setting: Prong, bezel, or halo designs are common; quality prongs should be smooth, even, and secure.

Materials and finishes depend on the configuration you select; see the product options for exact details.

On‑Model Fit Guide

• Collarbone look: A 16–18 inch chain typically places the pendant at or just below the collarbone for most neck sizes.
• High-neck tops: Choose 20–24 inches to sit over knits or turtlenecks.
• Proportion cue: Larger stones or statement pendants often look balanced at 18–20 inches; petite stones shine at 16–18 inches.
• Unisex styling: For a relaxed, modern drop, many choose 20–24 inches depending on build and preference.
• If viewing on-model photos: Use the neckline and collarbone as reference points to estimate where your chosen length will fall.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Routine clean: Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes. Gently brush with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Avoid harsh chemicals: Remove before swimming, hot tubs, cleaning with bleach/ammonia, or applying hairspray, perfume, or lotions directly onto the piece.
• Plated finishes: Rhodium or other plated surfaces can wear with abrasion—avoid rough contact and store separately.
• Silver care: Store in an anti-tarnish pouch. If tarnish appears, use a silver polishing cloth; avoid abrasive pastes on gemstones or plated areas.
• Ultrasonic/steam: Moissanite itself is generally safe, but avoid these methods if the piece has plating, delicate pavé, or glued components. When in doubt, use the soap-and-water method or consult a jeweler.
• Hardware check: Periodically inspect prongs, bail, and clasp. Have prongs tightened and rhodium re-applied (for white metals) as needed.
• Travel tip: Thread the chain through a straw or use a small pouch to prevent tangles and scratches.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: Wear solo on a 16–18 inch chain for a clean, luminous touch that works with tees, blouses, and blazers.
• Layered look: Pair with a shorter 14–16 inch choker and a longer 20 inch chain. Keep 2 inches between layers to spotlight the pendant.
• Necklines:
  • V-neck and wrap: 16–18 inches highlights the neckline.
  • Crew and boat neck: 16–18 inches for a centered sparkle.
  • Turtleneck or chunky knit: 20–24 inches to sit over fabric.
• Mix or match metals: Coordinate with your watch or ring tone, or mix metals for a modern, curated stack.
• Make it occasion-ready: Elevate with moissanite studs or delicate hoops; keep other pieces minimal to let the pendant shine.
• Gift-ready idea: Add a meaningful charm on a second chain for a personalized layered set.
