1 Carat Moissanite Iris Pendant Necklace in Sterling Silver

An iris rendered in sterling silver with a one carat moissanite at its heart. The flower is the reason to choose this over a plain solitaire. It gives the stone a setting with actual shape and character, so the piece reads as designed rather than simply expensive. It sits at the collarbone and does the quiet work of finishing whatever you happen to be wearing.

The materials are 925 sterling silver and moissanite, with a carat weight of 1ct. Moissanite is the reason this throws so much light. It has more dispersion than most stones, meaning it splits light into color rather than just bouncing it back, and set into the center of the iris that fire has petals to play against. The 925 sterling silver keeps the whole thing cool and bright and holds the flower shape crisply. This is a one piece necklace and it arrives in a matching box. Because the stone is over 0.3 carats, it includes a certificate of stone properties documenting exactly what you are wearing.

The chain measures 15.7 inches, which sits close to the base of the neck rather than dropping onto the chest. That length is a deliberate choice on a pendant with detail, because it keeps the iris high where people can actually see the shape of it. Wear it with a plain crew neck and let it be the only thing happening. Wear it with an open collar and it sits perfectly in the gap. It layers beautifully under a longer chain if you want depth. Take it off before the gym, keep it dry, and it will stay bright for years.
