1 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Halo Ring | Hot Pink / 4.5 101300014744335

1 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Halo Ring

This halo ring features a 1 carat moissanite center set in a 925 sterling silver band. The halo design amplifies sparkle and gives the center stone a larger visual presence while the sterling silver provides a bright, classic finish.

How to measure

Ring size (three easy methods)

1. Use an existing ring: Measure the inner diameter (across the center) in millimetres with a ruler or caliper. Match that measurement to a size chart below.
2. String or paper strip method: Wrap a thin strip of paper or non-stretchy string around the finger where the ring will sit. Mark the meeting point, measure that length in millimetres (this is the inner circumference), then convert to a ring size using the chart.
3. Professional sizing: Visit a jeweller for the most accurate measurement—especially recommended if you are between sizes or ordering a fitted wedding stack.

Tips: Measure at the end of the day when fingers are warm, measure the knuckle too — if the knuckle is significantly larger than the base of the finger, pick a size that will slide over the knuckle comfortably. If you are between sizes, sizing up is usually recommended for comfort.

Measuring the center stone and settings

• Center stone diameter: Use calipers and measure across the widest part (girdle) for round stones. A typical 1 carat round center measures approximately 6.3–6.6 mm in diameter.
• Halo / overall face size: Measure the full outer edge of the halo across the center to get the visual face size of the ring. For a 1 carat halo style this is commonly around 8.5–9.5 mm (varies by design).
• Band width & thickness: Measure across the top of the band in millimetres. Halo rings commonly have band widths between 1.5–3.0 mm; note the thickness (depth) if you need to match with other bands.

Materials — what it is and what to expect

Moissanite (center stone)

• Composition: silicon carbide (SiC); the gem material sold today is lab-created for consistent quality.
• Hardness: about 9.25 on the Mohs scale — very durable for everyday wear (second only to diamond among commonly used gemstones).
• Optical properties: very high refractive index (approx. 2.65–2.69) and high dispersion (fire), which gives strong brilliance and rainbow flashes.
• Color and clarity: usually marketed in near-colorless to colorless grades; may show slightly different optical behavior than diamond (more fire/refraction in some lighting).
• Practical note: moissanite is extremely hard and scratch-resistant, but like any faceted gem it should be protected from hard knocks.

925 Sterling Silver (band and setting)

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% mixed alloy (commonly copper) — the standard "925" hallmark.
• Appearance: bright white-silver finish; often finished in high polish and sometimes rhodium-plated to enhance whiteness and resist tarnish.
• Durability: sterling silver is softer than gold or platinum and can scratch or bend under impact; it is easily resized or repaired by a jeweller.
• Tarnishing: sterling silver can tarnish over time when exposed to sulfur, moisture, or chemicals — proper care limits tarnish and maintains shine.

Model information

Design highlights of this model:

• Center stone: 1 carat moissanite (round brilliant silhouette, approx. 6.3–6.6 mm).
• Setting: Classic halo setting to intensify sparkle and create a larger visual face; secure prong setting for the center stone.
• Accent stones: A halo of smaller stones (matching moissanite or similar accents depending on the exact variant) surrounds the center to add brilliance.
• Metal: 925 sterling silver band with high-polish finish; some variants may include rhodium plating for increased whiteness.
• Sizing & customization: Available in standard ring sizes. Sterling silver can be resized by a jeweller (small adjustments typically possible).
• Approximate face & band dimensions: Center approx 6.3–6.6 mm; halo face commonly ~8.5–9.5 mm; band width typically 1.5–3.0 mm (varies by design).

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Daily wear: Remove the ring for heavy manual work, sports, swimming (chlorine), and cleaning with chemicals. Avoid lotions, hairspray and perfumes directly on the ring.
2. Quick clean at home: Soak in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for 5–10 minutes, gently brush with a soft-bristled brush (around prongs and halo), rinse in warm water and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
3. Polishing sterling silver: Use a silver polishing cloth to remove light tarnish. For heavier tarnish, use a professional silver cleaner or a gentle baking soda paste (rinse thoroughly afterwards).
4. Ultrasonic & steam cleaners: Moissanite itself tolerates ultrasonic and steam cleaning, but because this ring has sterling silver and a halo of small accents, use these cleaners only if recommended by a jeweller to avoid loosening stones or affecting plating.
5. Rhodium plating: If your ring is rhodium-plated, avoid abrasive polishes and strong chemical dips; plating may wear over time and can be re-plated by a jeweller.
6. Storage: Store the ring separately in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent scratches and minimize exposure to air and humidity (which speeds tarnish).
7. Professional care: Have the setting and prongs checked annually by a jeweller to ensure stones are secure and to perform any necessary cleaning, polishing, or re-plating.

Style tips

• Engagement classic: This halo ring is perfect as an engagement ring—pair it with a simple polished sterling silver or white gold wedding band for a timeless look.
• Stacking: Choose thin bands (1.5–2.5 mm) to stack beside the halo without competing; curved or contoured bands can sit flush with the halo profile.
• Metal matching: For a cohesive set, match other jewellery (earrings, necklace, bracelet) in sterling silver or rhodium-plated white metals. For a modern contrast, pair with warm metals (rose or yellow gold) for a mixed-metal statement.
• Occasion dressing: Daytime: keep other accessories minimal to let the ring sparkle. Evening: add moissanite stud earrings or a delicate silver pendant for coordinated glamour.
• Manicure & presentation: A clean, neutral or classic manicure highlights the ring’s brilliance—pale pinks, nudes, French tips or deep reds all work well depending on your style.

Note: Measurements and appearance can vary slightly by production batch and exact design variant. For specific dimensions or custom requests, consult product specifications or contact customer service before purchase.
