1 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Ring | Silver / 4 100500628261395

How to measure

Measure your finger (recommended)

1. Measure at the end of the day when your finger is its largest and warm (cold fingers read smaller).
2. Use a non-stretchy string or a strip of paper and wrap it snugly around the base of the finger where the ring will sit. Mark where the ends meet.
3. Measure the marked length with a millimetre ruler — that length (in mm) is the inner circumference of the ring.
4. Find the corresponding ring size in the chart below. If your measurement is between sizes, choose the larger size. If you plan a wide band (6 mm or wider), consider sizing up by ½ size.
5. Repeat the measurement 2–3 times to confirm consistency.

Measure an existing ring

1. Place the ring on a flat surface and measure the inner diameter across the widest inside points using a ruler or digital caliper (mm).
2. Match the measured diameter with the chart below to find the ring size.

Measure the stone and band

• To measure the center stone diameter, use a caliper from edge to edge across the widest point. (A round 1 carat moissanite is typically about 6.5 mm in diameter.)
• Measure the band width by placing the caliper on the outside edges of the band. Typical delicate bands are 1.5–2.5 mm; wider bands will affect fit.

Values are approximate. For the most accurate fit, use a jeweller’s sizing tool or consult the product specifics.

Materials

Moissanite (center stone)

• Composition: lab-created silicon carbide (SiC) — the commercial moissanite used in jewellery is manufactured in a lab to ensure consistent quality.
• 1 carat equivalent: a round 1.00 ct moissanite is typically about 6.4–6.6 mm in diameter (approx. 6.5 mm).
• Durability: Mohs hardness ≈ 9.25 — very scratch resistant and suitable for daily wear (diamonds are 10).
• Optical properties: very high brilliance and fire (dispersion), often appearing slightly more sparkly than diamond in certain lights.
• Ethics: lab-grown moissanite is conflict-free and considered a responsible alternative to mined gemstones.
• Testing note: moissanite can register on some diamond testers (thermal conductivity) — specialized testers or professional appraisal are needed to distinguish it from diamond.

925 Sterling Silver (band and setting)

• Meaning: "925" indicates 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% other metals (typically copper) added for strength.
• Appearance: bright white metal; may be rhodium-plated to enhance whiteness and resist tarnish.
• Care & durability: sterling silver can tarnish over time when exposed to sulfur/air and can scratch more easily than harder metals—regular gentle care keeps it bright.
• Skin sensitivity: usually well tolerated; if you have a specific metal allergy consult product details (some alloys can irritate very sensitive skin).

Model & design details

Key characteristics of this piece:

• Center stone: 1.00 carat moissanite (approx. 6.5 mm diameter for a round cut).
• Metal: 925 sterling silver (may be offered with a high-polish finish or rhodium plating — check the product listing for exact finish).
• Setting: commonly prong-set to maximize light return and brilliance; band width for this style is typically slim (1.5–2.5 mm) for a classic look.
• Available sizes: standard ring sizes (refer to the size chart above or the product page for exact size availability).
• Weight and exact dimensions: vary by model — see the product specifications or SKU details for precise measurements.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Daily wear: remove the ring when doing heavy manual work, cleaning with chemicals, swimming (chlorine), or applying lotions/perfumes to avoid buildup and chemical damage.
• Routine cleaning: soak in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for 10–20 minutes, gently brush with a soft toothbrush around the stone and setting, rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Silver tarnish: use a silver polishing cloth for light tarnish. Avoid abrasive powders and harsh dipped cleaners if the piece is plated or has delicate settings.
• Ultrasonic & steam cleaning: moissanite itself is generally safe in ultrasonic and steam cleaners, but use caution—loose or delicate settings, glued stones or plated finishes may be damaged. When in doubt, ask a jeweller.
• Prong & setting checks: have prongs and settings checked by a jeweller annually or sooner if the ring is worn daily to ensure the stone remains secure.
• Storage: store separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to avoid scratches and reduce tarnishing; consider anti-tarnish strips for long-term storage.
• Rhodium plating: if the silver is rhodium-plated, the plating will wear over time; re-plating restores the bright white finish.

Style tips

• Everyday elegance: the bright white sheen of 925 silver combined with a 1 ct moissanite gives a striking, modern look for daily wear.
• Engagement & stackability: pair with slim, plain metal bands or milgrain bands for a classic engagement set. For a bolder look, stack with textured or pavé bands.
• Metal pairing: this ring coordinates best with other white metals (sterling silver, white gold, platinum). Mixing metals can work as a contemporary statement—try a thin yellow-gold accent band for contrast.
• Band width & finger shape: narrower bands (1.5–2.5 mm) visually lengthen fingers. Wider bands suit larger hands or when you want a bolder profile.
• Occasion styling: wear solo for minimalist elegance, add a halo or accent bands for more sparkle at formal events.
• Careful layering: stack delicate rings above and below to accent the center stone without overwhelming it—keep the focus on the 1 ct moissanite.
