Handmade Love Knot Moissanite Pendant Necklace — 925 Sterling Silver, Rhodium Plated White Gold Finish, GRA Moissanite

José Lux has been hand-setting Moissanite for over a decade. The Love Knot Pendant is built around a deliberate contrast: four high-polish sterling silver arms sweeping inward from four corners, smooth and unembellished, cradling a single GRA-certified Moissanite at the center — and above the stone, a curved Swiss CZ arc that bridges two of the arms and adds a precise line of sparkle right where the eye goes first. That's the entire design. Four mirror-polished arms. One large Moissanite. One CZ accent arc. Nothing extra.

The design logic is restraint. The four polished arms don't compete with the center stone — they frame it. They catch and reflect light cleanly off their smooth surfaces, directing attention inward toward the Moissanite. The CZ arc above the stone adds just enough sparkle at the top of the pendant to create a focal entry point. The eye follows the arc down to the stone, and the stone delivers. It's a setting built for a 1ct Moissanite to do its work without visual interference.

Every pendant is hand-set and hand-plated at our workshop in Vietnam. The four silver arms require precise forming so they sit at the right angles relative to each other and to the center stone. The CZ arc above the stone requires careful placement — it has to bridge the frame naturally without reading as an afterthought. Our artisans have been doing this work long enough to know where this design fails when it's rushed. Ours isn't rushed.

The Center Stone — 6.3mm Moissanite, 1CT Equivalent

The center stone is GRA-certified Moissanite — Color D, Clarity FL. Colorless and internally flawless. 6.3mm round brilliant cut, 58 facets, 1ct equivalent weight. Each stone ships with its own GRA certificate carrying a unique report ID traceable to your specific stone. Physical certificate, not a card.

Moissanite is lab-created silicon carbide. It is not a diamond and José Lux won't tell you it is. At 6.3mm and 1ct equivalent, this is a stone with real presence — large enough to read clearly at conversation distance, brilliant enough to throw rainbow flashes in any directional light. Moissanite has more fire than diamond. That fire is what makes it the right center stone for this setting: four smooth polished arms create a clean reflective frame around it, and the stone does the rest. In direct sunlight, the center stone throws color from every facet. The polished silver arms reflect that light back inward. The whole pendant fires.

The accent arc is Swiss CZ — cubic zirconia, not Moissanite. It runs in a short curved line of pavé stones positioned above the center stone, spanning between two of the upper frame arms. Its role is specific and limited: it adds a concentrated line of sparkle at the top of the pendant that draws the eye downward to the Moissanite center stone. It is not a full halo. It is not a ring. It is one accent arc, placed where it does the most work. The Moissanite is the certified stone. The Swiss CZ is the accent detail.

How the Pendant Looks in Person

The Love Knot reads as a bold, sculptural pendant on the collarbone. The four polished silver arms create a strong geometric presence — the crossing form reads as a rotated square or diamond shape, with the Moissanite sitting visibly at the center. The polished surfaces of the arms mirror the rhodium white gold finish and catch ambient light cleanly, giving the pendant a bright, substantial look without relying on additional stone coverage to create it.

At 6.3mm, the Moissanite center stone dominates the composition the way it's designed to. In natural light, it fires with strong rainbow flashes. The CZ accent arc above the stone sits at the top of the pendant face as a concentrated sparkle point — it catches light first, draws the eye in, and frames the top of the stone. The overall pendant sits compact against the collarbone with enough visual weight to read clearly on its own. The cable chain lies flat. The rhodium plated white gold finish across the entire piece — arms, arc, prong tips, bail — sits mirror-polished and bright white. It's a clean, intentional design. The center stone is the point. Everything else supports it.

The Chain — 18 Inches, Handcrafted Lobster Clasp

The chain is 925 sterling silver, cable-link style, 18 inches in length. 18 inches is the standard fit for virtually every woman — collarbone length, the right drop for a pendant this size and visual weight. Every customer at José Lux who has purchased a necklace at this length has been satisfied with the fit. The oval cable links move freely and allow the love knot pendant to hang in its intended orientation — the crossing arms and CZ accent arc read correctly only when the pendant hangs plumb.

The lobster clasp is handcrafted at our Vietnam workshop. Not a pressed-out factory clasp. Hand-finished. It holds firm during wear — it does not release under pressure or vibration. When you want to remove the necklace, it opens cleanly with a single thumb press. Easy when you intend it. Secure when you don't. We've been making them long enough to know the difference between a clasp that holds and one that only looks like it will.

The Metal and Plating

The pendant and chain are both 925 sterling silver — 92.5% pure silver, 7.5% copper for structural strength. The four polished arms of the love knot frame require a blank that holds its form precisely after forming and through daily wear. We use a properly gauged blank — thick enough that the arms maintain their angles and don't flex out of position, polished to a mirror finish at the workshop before plating. That polish is what gives the arms their clean reflective quality in the finished piece.

The rhodium plated white gold finish is hand-applied at our Vietnam workshop. Not machine-dipped. Hand-done. The artisans doing this work have been plating silver for years. On a polished-arm pendant like this one, the plating coverage on the arm surfaces is what the customer sees most — an even, consistent rhodium layer that reads bright white across every arm face and holds that appearance over years of wear. Hand-application delivers that. Machine-dipping doesn't, reliably.

Rhodium is harder than gold. The rhodium plated white gold finish sits as a hard barrier between the silver and air — while it holds, the silver underneath stays bright white, mirror-polished, exactly as it left our workshop. The conservative baseline for this finish is three years of regular daily wear. Many customers report five years. The longest we've recorded: eight years of daily wear before the first re-plate. Skin chemistry, wear frequency, and chemical exposure all affect the timeline. When the rhodium eventually wears and you want it restored, ship it back. Re-plating is always free at the José Lux workshop — no time limit, no conditions.

Certification

Every necklace ships with the full GRA gemological certificate for the Moissanite center stone. The report confirms Color D, Clarity FL, Round Brilliant cut, 6.3mm, 1ct equivalent weight — and carries a unique report number traceable to your specific stone. This is the same certificate format used in professional gemological documentation. Physical certificate, not a card.

Warranty and Repairs

Every prong setting and every CZ accent arc stone on a José Lux Love Knot Pendant is adjusted by hand at our Vietnam workshop. Stone loss from normal daily wear is extremely rare. That's by design.

If a stone does come loose or fall out under everyday use — no drops, no hard impacts, just daily wear — José Lux handles it:

• Swiss CZ accent arc stones: Re-setting or replacing accent stones is always free. José Lux imports CZ in volume directly from our suppliers. We absorb the cost entirely.
• Moissanite center stone: If the center stone needs replacement, José Lux charges at our import cost from our Hong Kong supplier — never at retail. Re-setting labor is always free.
• Rhodium re-plating: Always free at the José Lux workshop. No time limit, no conditions.

What's not covered: stones lost due to hard physical impact — a necklace dropped from height, caught and yanked, or showing visible deformation of the frame arms or prongs consistent with a fall or hard strike. José Lux inspects each case individually. If a repair falls outside the warranty, we still fix it — at cost, with a clear quote before anything is done.

Our Workshop

Our workshop is in Vietnam. The artisans who hand-set your Moissanite center stone, hand-set the CZ accent arc, polish the four silver arms, and hand-plate your pendant and chain have been doing this work for years — longer than most jewelry brands have been selling online. Every prong is adjusted by hand. Every arc stone is set by hand. Every arm surface is polished by hand before plating. Every pendant is plated by hand. This is José Lux's own workshop, not a third-party factory.

The Love Knot looks simpler than a fully pavé-covered pendant. It is not simpler to make. Four arms have to be formed to matching curvatures, polished to a consistent mirror finish, and assembled so the crossing reads as intentional geometry rather than an accidental overlap. The CZ arc above the stone has to sit at the right position within the frame. None of that happens correctly at volume production speed. We don't make it at volume production speed.

Your Necklace Arrives Protected — Two-Layer Box Packaging, USPS Insured

Your necklace ships in two layers of packaging. The inner jewelry box holds the necklace securely in place. The outer box protects everything during transit. On top of that, the necklace itself is wrapped in a shock-absorbing layer before it goes into the box — so there's no movement, no impact damage, nothing shifts in transit.

Shipping is via USPS with 100% jewelry insurance on every order. If something goes wrong in transit — lost, delayed, damaged — we cover it. Even if an address was entered incorrectly at checkout, José Lux refunds you in full. You either receive your necklace in perfect condition, or you get your money back. That's the José Lux standard.

FAQ

Are all four arms set with CZ stones?

No. The four arms of the love knot frame are polished sterling silver — smooth, unembellished, mirror-finished. No stones are set on the arm surfaces. The only CZ stones on this pendant are in the accent arc positioned above the center stone, spanning between the two upper frame arms. That arc is a short curved line of pavé CZ — a single accent detail, not a full halo or ring. The design is intentional: polished arms frame the center stone cleanly, and the CZ arc adds one concentrated sparkle point at the top of the pendant face. José Lux states this clearly because we want you to know exactly what you're buying.

What is the CZ accent arc and where does it sit?

The CZ accent arc is a short curved row of Swiss CZ pavé stones positioned at the top of the pendant, above the Moissanite center stone. It spans between two of the upper frame arms, following the curve of the frame at that point. It is not a full halo — it does not encircle the center stone. It adds sparkle at one specific point: the top of the pendant face, where the eye enters the composition. From there, the eye travels down to the Moissanite center stone, which delivers the main visual impact. The arc is an accent. The stone is the feature.

Why polished arms instead of pavé-covered arms?

Polished arms let the center stone work without competition. When every surface of a pendant frame is covered in accent stones, the visual weight distributes across the whole piece and the center stone has to fight to be the focal point. On the Love Knot, the polished arms reflect light cleanly and direct it inward — they act as a mirror frame rather than a competing light source. The result is that the 6.3mm Moissanite reads as the dominant element it's designed to be. The CZ arc above the stone adds a single entry point of sparkle. Everything else steps back. That's the design logic, and it's why this pendant works as well as it does at this stone size.

How does the pendant look on the neck?

The Love Knot sits at collarbone length as a geometric, sculptural pendant with a clear focal point. The four polished arms create a strong rotated-square outline that reads from across the room. Inside that outline, the 6.3mm Moissanite fires with rainbow flashes in any directional light. The CZ accent arc above the stone catches light at the top of the pendant and frames the entry to the stone. The rhodium plated white gold finish across the entire piece — arms, arc, prong tips, bail — sits bright white and mirror-polished. The cable chain lies flat at collarbone length. It's a bold design with a restrained palette. The stone is the point. The arms make the point.

Is 18 inches the right length for me?

18 inches is the standard collarbone length — it sits just above the sternum on most women and positions a pendant at exactly the right drop point on the neckline. Every customer at José Lux who has purchased a necklace at this length has been satisfied with the fit. For a pendant the size and visual weight of the Love Knot, 18 inches puts the stone at collarbone center: visible, in full light, with the crossing arm silhouette reading correctly against the neckline.

How secure is the lobster clasp?

The lobster clasp on every José Lux necklace is handcrafted at our Vietnam workshop — not a standard factory-pressed clasp. The mechanism holds firm during wear. It does not release under pressure or vibration. When you want to remove the necklace, it opens cleanly with a single thumb press. Easy when you intend it. Secure when you don't.

Does the necklace tarnish?

Not while the rhodium plating holds. The rhodium plated white gold finish is a hard barrier between the 925 sterling silver and air — while it's intact, the silver underneath stays bright white and doesn't tarnish. The finish holds for at least 3 years under regular daily wear. Many José Lux customers go 5 years. Some have gone 8. When the plating eventually wears through, you'll notice the finish losing its brightness — that's your signal to send it back. Re-plating is always free at the José Lux workshop, no time limit, no conditions.

How long does the plating last?

The rhodium plated white gold finish is hand-applied at our Vietnam workshop — not machine-dipped. Conservative baseline: three years of regular daily wear. Many José Lux customers come back to re-plate after five years. We've recorded eight years of daily wear before the first re-plate. Skin chemistry, how often you wear it, and whether you take it off around chemicals all affect the timeline. Re-plating is always free at the José Lux workshop — whenever the time comes, we take care of it.

What does the warranty cover?

The center stone prongs and CZ accent arc settings on José Lux Love Knot Pendants are built to hold — stone loss from normal daily wear is extremely rare. If it happens with no evidence of impact damage: Swiss CZ accent arc stones are re-set for free. José Lux imports these in volume and absorbs the cost entirely. Moissanite center stone replacement is charged at our import cost from our Hong Kong supplier — never at retail. Re-plating is always free. What's not covered: impact damage — visible deformation of the frame arms or center prongs consistent with a fall or hard strike. José Lux still fixes impact damage, at cost, with a clear quote before anything is done.

How does shipping work?

Free USPS to the United States and Europe. Tracking sent the day your order ships. Estimated 7–14 business days. European orders can see customs delays — José Lux is honest about that rather than promising a window we can't control. Every shipment is 100% insured. If something goes wrong in transit for any reason, including an incorrect delivery address, a full refund is issued.

Where is this necklace made?

Handmade at the José Lux workshop in Vietnam. Our artisans specialize in silver. The four polished arms require precise forming so they sit at the correct angles and produce the intended crossing silhouette. The CZ accent arc requires careful placement to bridge the upper frame naturally. The high-polish finish on the arm surfaces is applied at our workshop before rhodium plating — both steps matter to the final appearance. The lobster clasp is handcrafted at the same workshop. This is José Lux's own operation. The origin isn't a footnote — it's why the quality is consistent.
