Choose your metal

• 925 sterling silver. The most accessible option, and a bright white metal that suits the near colorless look of moissanite.
• 10K gold. The hardest wearing of the gold options and the most affordable solid gold choice.
• 14K gold. The usual balance between durability and gold content, and the karat most often chosen for daily wear.
• 18K gold. The deepest color and the highest gold content offered here, suited to occasion wear and gifting.
• Yellow, rose and white. Yellow gold gives a warm classic finish, rose gold adds a soft pink tone, and white gold keeps attention on the stones.

Choose your necklace length

• 14 inches. A close choker fit that sits at the base of the neck.
• 16 inches. The classic length, resting at the collarbone and the most popular choice.
• 18 inches. Sits just below the collarbone and suits most necklines.
• 20 inches. A longer drape that layers well.

About moissanite

Moissanite is silicon carbide, first identified by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893. Natural moissanite is extremely rare, so the moissanite used in fine jewelry today is created in a laboratory. Its refractive index of about 2.65 is higher than that of diamond, so it throws more fire, which means more colored flashes of light. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it is second only to diamond in hardness, so it resists scratching and holds its polish. Because it is created rather than mined, moissanite is a conflict free choice and costs a fraction of a mined diamond with a comparable look.

Styling and occasions

A tennis necklace works on its own for a clean evening look and layers well with a plain chain or a pendant. It suits weddings, engagement parties, anniversaries, birthdays and special occasions, and it is a lasting gift for a partner, a wife, a mother or a friend.

Care and cleaning

• Put the necklace on after perfume, hand cream and hairspray.
• Clean it in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush, then rinse and dry with a lint free cloth.
• Remove it before swimming, cleaning and the gym.
• Store it flat in a soft pouch so the chain does not tangle.
• Keep sterling silver in a closed pouch between wears, and restore the shine with a silver polishing cloth.
