A CZ Solitaire Necklace Needs a Chain
This pendant is sold alone, so a CZ solitaire necklace only comes together once you add a chain. The bail is sized for a fine chain, roughly 1 mm wide. A thicker rope or curb chain will not pass through. An 18 inch box or cable chain is the usual choice, and it places the stone just below the collarbone.
How Big Is the Stone on the Neck
At 9/32 inch wide and 19/32 inch tall, the pendant is small. About the size of a pencil eraser. It reads as a quiet point of light, not a statement piece, which is why it works under a shirt collar at the office and again at dinner.
If you want something with more presence, a simulated diamond solitaire necklace in a larger cut is the next step up. Keep this one if you like to layer, since it will not fight with other chains.
If you like the look of a classic setting, this CZ solitaire pendant pairs well with a simulated diamond solitaire necklace for layering.
Care for Rhodium-Plated Silver
Rhodium keeps the silver bright and slows tarnish, but it does wear thin over time. Expect a year or two of daily wear before the finish dulls. Take the pendant off before swimming, showering or using hand lotion, because chlorine and oils cloud both the plating and the stone.
- Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wearing.
- Store it in the custom box, away from other jewelry.
- Use warm water and mild soap on the stone, never a harsh polish.
Other Styles to Compare
Prefer a bit more sparkle? A triple simulated diamond pendant has three stones in a row. For a touch of playfulness, the ballerina pendant is a favorite for gifts. And if you want a different kind of shine, take a look at a swarovski crystal necklace, which has a slightly icier glow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the cubic zirconia a real diamond?
No. It is a lab-made stone that looks very close to a diamond at a glance. It costs a small fraction of the price and is harder to scratch than most glass or crystal.
Can I wear it every day?
Yes. The prong setting holds the stone firmly and the sterling silver is sturdy at this size. Just remove it for workouts and water.
What chain length suits it best?
Most people choose 16 to 18 inches. Sixteen sits close to the base of the neck, while eighteen drops slightly and suits open necklines.
