1 Carat Moissanite Necklace in Sterling Silver

A single moissanite stone on a fine sterling silver chain, which is really all a necklace like this needs to do. Moissanite throws a lot of light for its size, so a one carat stone reads clearly across a room without ever tipping into costume. It is the piece you put on first and stop thinking about.

The setting and chain are 925 sterling silver and the stone is moissanite at a carat weight of 1ct. It is sold as a single piece and arrives in a matching box, which makes the gifting decision easy. Because the stone is over 0.3 carats, it also comes with a certificate of stone properties. The chain measures 15.7 inches, which sits high on the collarbone on most people. That is worth knowing before you buy: this is a choker length rather than a princess length, and it layers beautifully above a longer pendant rather than competing with one.

Silver stays quiet against almost everything, so this works with a white shirt on a Tuesday just as well as it works with black on an evening out. If you wear it alone, let a neckline stay open so the stone has space. If you layer, put this one closest to the neck and let anything longer fall below it. One note worth taking seriously is the care instruction below, because silver and sweat are genuinely not friends over the long run.
