- Define Your Personal Style: Are you drawn to minimalist and modern designs, or do you prefer pieces with classic romance and symbolism? For a contemporary look, consider the clean lines of the Three Stone Moissanite Bar Pendant Necklace or the Moissanite Curved Bar Necklace with its chic Cuban chain. If your taste leans more towards the symbolic, explore our many heart, star, and cross motifs, such as the exquisite Layered Moissanite Moon And Star Necklace or the timeless Classic Moissanite Cross Necklace in Silver.

For a touch of warmth and classic luxury, opt for a piece with a rich 14K gold plated finish, such as the radiant 14K Gold Plated Moissanite Pave Cross Necklace, which brings a golden glow to your complexion.
- Select a Scintillating Centerpiece: The heart of your necklace is its focal point. Do you envision the unmatched fire of a single, brilliant moissanite stone, like the stunning 2ct Moissanite Four-Claw Solitaire Necklace? Perhaps you are captivated by the unique charm of a colorful moissanite solitaire or the intricate sparkle of a halo design, found in our Moissanite Square Halo Pendant Necklace. For a touch of organic elegance, consider a piece that incorporates the soft iridescence of freshwater pearls, like the beautiful Freshwater Pearl Pendant Necklace with Moissanite Heart.

Celebrate love with a Moissanite Infinity Heart Lariat Necklace or a Pavé Moissanite Heart Pendant. Or, reach for the stars with celestial-themed pieces like the Moissanite Starburst Charm Pendant Necklace or the Moissanite Four-Point Star Pendant Necklace.
The Unmatched Brilliance of Moissanite
At the heart of the Lynore collection lies the extraordinary beauty of moissanite. This remarkable gemstone is celebrated for its exceptional fire and brilliance, possessing a refractive index higher than that of many other jewels, which allows it to bend light into a dazzling rainbow of sparkle. Each moissanite stone in our 18 inch necklaces, from the delicate accent stones in the Paved Moissanite Star Pendant to the commanding centerpiece of the Round Solitaire Moissanite Pendant Necklace, is chosen for its clarity and superior cut, ensuring a captivating display of light. Unlike softer stones, moissanite is incredibly durable and resistant to scratching, making it a practical and lasting choice for jewelry you intend to wear and love every day. Its ethical, lab-created origin also offers peace of mind, providing a responsible and beautiful alternative. When set in lustrous 925 sterling silver or warm gold plating, the cool fire of moissanite creates a breathtaking contrast, resulting in a piece of fine jewelry that exudes luxury and sophistication. Whether it is the subtle shimmer of the Moissanite Vertical Line Lariat Necklace or the full radiance of the Moissanite Bezel Set Tennis Necklace, the moissanite in your Lynore piece promises a lifetime of brilliance that will never fade or grow cloudy. This commitment to quality ensures your necklace remains as stunning as the day you first wore it.
Styling Your 18 Inch Princess Length Necklace
The 18 inch necklace is a cornerstone of jewelry styling due to its incredible versatility. Its princess length hits the sweet spot on the décolletage, making it a perfect partner for a wide variety of necklines. For a classic crew neck or a high neckline, an 18 inch necklace like the Claw Set Moissanite Clover Pendant Necklace sits perfectly against the fabric, adding a pop of sparkle and a point of interest. With a scoop neck or a square neckline, it follows the curve of the collar, beautifully framing the space. For lower necklines like a V-neck or a sweetheart, this length draws the eye downward, and a Y-shape or lariat style, such as the Graduated Moissanite Bar Y-Drop Necklace, becomes particularly flattering, accentuating the elegant line. This length is also the ideal foundation for layering. Start with your 18 inch moissanite necklace as the centerpiece and add a shorter 16 inch chain or a longer 20 inch chain to create a curated, dimensional look that is uniquely your own. Pair the Moissanite Moon And Star Disc Pendant Necklace with a simple silver chain for a celestial-themed stack that tells a story. For a truly elegant statement, allow a piece like the Three Stone Moissanite V-Shape Pendant Necklace to shine all on its own, its simple sophistication requiring no further adornment for a polished and complete look.
Your Questions About Our 18 Inch Necklaces, Answered
We understand that choosing a piece of fine jewelry is a considered purchase. To help you in your decision, we have gathered answers to some of the most common questions about our collection of 18 inch chain necklaces. We believe in complete transparency regarding our materials and craftsmanship, so you can feel confident and delighted with your Lynore selection.
What is an 18 inch chain necklace typically called?
An 18 inch chain necklace is most commonly known in the jewelry world as the "princess length". This is considered the most classic and universally flattering necklace length for women. It is designed to rest just below the collarbone, making it an ideal choice for showcasing pendants. Unlike a choker, which sits snugly on the neck, or a longer opera length chain, the 18 inch princess length offers a perfect balance that complements almost any outfit or neckline without being too high or too low. Its popularity stems from this versatility, as it can easily be dressed up for a formal event or worn casually for an everyday touch of elegance. It is the go-to length for gifting because it suits a wide range of body types and personal styles, ensuring it will be a well-loved and frequently worn piece.
Are Lynore necklaces made from real silver?
Absolutely. Every silver necklace in the Lynore collection is crafted from genuine, high-quality 925 sterling silver. The "925" stamp signifies that the metal is composed of 92.5 percent pure silver, which is blended with 7.5 percent of other metals, typically copper, to enhance its strength and durability for jewelry making. Pure silver on its own is too soft for everyday wear, so this alloy is the global standard for premium silver jewelry. This ensures your necklace is not only beautiful with its bright, white luster but also strong enough to be a lasting part of your collection. For our gold-toned pieces, such as the 14K Gold Plated Moissanite Pave Cross Necklace, we use this same solid 925 sterling silver as the base, layering it with a thick, durable coating of 14K gold to achieve a rich, warm finish. You are always receiving a precious metal piece when you choose Lynore.
What is moissanite and why is it used in your jewelry?
Moissanite is a stunning and brilliant gemstone that is prized for its exceptional visual properties. It is composed of silicon carbide and is known for having more fire, brilliance, and sparkle than any other gemstone. "Fire" refers to the beautiful rainbow-like flashes of light that are visible when the stone moves, and moissanite's dispersion is significantly higher than that of other jewels, creating this dazzling effect. Its brilliance, or sparkle, is also unparalleled due to its high refractive index. We choose moissanite for our jewelry not only for its breathtaking beauty but also for its remarkable durability. It scores a 9.25 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it second only to a diamond in terms of toughness. This means it is highly resistant to scratching, chipping, and breaking, making it an ideal stone for necklaces that will be worn daily. As a lab-created gemstone, it is also an ethical and sustainable choice, offering incredible beauty without the environmental and social concerns associated with mining.
How do I care for my 18 inch moissanite and silver necklace?
Caring for your Lynore 18 inch moissanite and sterling silver necklace is simple and will ensure it remains brilliant for years to come. We recommend storing your necklace in a soft pouch or a separate compartment in your jewelry box to prevent it from being scratched by other pieces. Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time when exposed to air and humidity. To minimize this, gently wipe your necklace with a soft, lint-free polishing cloth after each wear to remove oils and moisture. For a more thorough cleaning, you can use a mild soap and warm water solution, gently brushing the moissanite and chain with a soft toothbrush, then rinsing thoroughly and patting dry. Avoid exposing your necklace to harsh chemicals such as chlorine from swimming pools, bleach, and certain cleaning agents, as these can damage the metal's finish. With this minimal, regular care, both the 925 sterling silver and the scintillating moissanite stones will maintain their original, beautiful appearance.
