Moissanite necklaces in 925 sterling silver: solitaire and halo pendants, station and tennis styles, statement pieces and Cuban chains, from EUR 24.

The necklace collection includes 117 moissanite designs in five groups: solitaire and halo pendants, tennis necklaces and chokers, station and layering necklaces, statement pendants and Cuban chains. Most pieces are 925 sterling silver, often finished with rhodium, white gold or yellow gold plating, and a few solitaire pendants are made in solid 14k gold. Prices run from EUR 24 to EUR 1,231, and half of the designs cost EUR 96 or less.

Total carat weights range from under 0.5 ct to 2 ct and above, and 97 of the 117 designs carry 1 ct or more. Chain lengths vary by design, from a 14-inch choker to pendants on chains of about 16 to 18 inches (40 to 46 cm). A single pendant suits daily wear, while a tennis necklace or a pavé chain gives more presence for evenings and celebrations.

Necklaces take fewer knocks than rings or bracelets, and at 9.25 on the Mohs scale, lab-created moissanite is hard enough for everyday wear while showing high brilliance and fire. Fasten the clasp before putting a necklace away so the chain does not tangle, and take it off before swimming or sleeping. A necklace needs no sizing, which makes it an easy gift to choose.
