Crisp and square with notched corners, this frame holds a round moissanite and hangs from a tall bail lined with small stones. The clean geometry feels modern and a little architectural, a good match for work shirts and simple dresses.

Why it's special
The 1.0 ct DEW center is lab-grown moissanite graded D color and VVS1, and a GRA report comes with it. It rates 9.25 on the Mohs scale, so the stone stays bright under daily wear.
Care
Hand-polished and nickel-free. Avoid contact with perfume, lotion, and chlorinated water. Wipe with a soft cloth after wear and store in the jewelry box it ships in.
Why moissanite outshines diamond
Same chemistry as a lab-grown gem. Higher brilliance, more fire, 95% less to own.
| Moissanite | Diamond | |
|---|---|---|
| Brilliance (refractive index) | 2.65 | 2.42 |
| Fire (dispersion) | 0.104 | 0.044 |
| Hardness (Mohs scale) | 9.25 | 10 |
| Price for 1ct equivalent | $59 – $200 | $2,000 – $10,000 |
Higher numbers in the first two rows mean more sparkle. Moissanite literally throws more light than diamond. That's not opinion, it's optics.
Every stone is GRA-certified
Every moissanite ships with its GRA certificate stating cut, clarity, color and carat. Documented, not just promised.

D colour VVS1 clarity 9.25 Mohs GRA certified
What these grades mean
- Colour D
- The top of the colourless scale (D–E–F): no yellow or grey cast next to a white metal.
- Clarity VVS1
- Inclusions are invisible to the naked eye and hard to find even at 10× magnification.
- Fire 0.104
- Moissanite splits light about 2.4× more than a diamond (0.044). That is the rainbow flash you see when you move your hand.
- Brilliance 2.65–2.69
- Its refractive index beats a diamond's 2.42, so more light comes back to your eye.
- Hardness 9.25 Mohs
- Second only to diamond (10). It takes daily wear without scratching or clouding.
- Carat weight = DEW
- Weight is quoted as diamond equivalent weight: a 1.0 ct DEW stone measures 6.5 mm, the same face-up size as a one-carat diamond. Moissanite is about 10% lighter, so its own weight is nearer 0.88 ct. We print the millimetres on every option so you know the real size.
- Lab-grown, certified
- Silicon carbide grown in a lab, cut and graded by GRA. The report card ships in the box with the piece.
Moissanite is its own gemstone, not a diamond and not cubic zirconia. It is harder and brighter than CZ, and it does not cloud over time.
Necklace length guide
See where each length falls on the body. Most everyday necklaces are 18″ (46 cm): they sit just below the collarbone. Pick longer for V-necks, shorter for high necklines.
Where each length falls
| Length | cm | Style name | Best with |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14″ | 36 | Collar | Off-shoulder, deep V |
| 16″ | 41 | Choker | Boat neck, scoop, off-shoulder |
| 18″ | 46 | Princess | Anything, most versatile |
| 20″ | 51 | Matinee | Crew neck, button-up, V-neck |
| 24″ | 61 | Matinee | V-neck, blouses, business |
| 30″ | 76 | Opera | Sweaters, dresses, layering |
| 34–35″ | 86–89 | Rope / Lariat | High necks, long pendants |
Tips & styling
- Not sure where to start? 18″ (46 cm) is the safest universal length. It suits almost every neckline and frame.
- Match neckline. Higher tops call for longer chains (20″+); open necklines look best with shorter (16–18″).
- Layering. Stack with at least 2″ (5 cm) of difference (e.g. 16″ + 18″ + 20″), so each piece sits clearly.
- Heavy pendants drop. A bold pendant on a fine chain effectively shortens the look by ~0.5″ (1–2 cm). If between sizes, size up.
- Frame. Petite frames flatter shorter chains (16–18″). Taller frames carry longer (20–24″) beautifully. Plus-size frames often look elongated by 20″+.
- How to measure your own chain. Lay it flat and measure from end to end including the clasp. That's the standard length quoted on the product page.
