1 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Ring | Silver / 5 100500853691007

How to measure

Use these simple methods to get accurate measurements for ordering or verifying this 1 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Ring.

Ring size — two easy methods

1. Measure an existing ring: Place the ring on a millimeter ruler and measure the inner diameter (the widest inner distance). Compare the measurement to the quick chart below to find the corresponding size.
2. Measure your finger (paper/string method): Wrap a thin strip of paper or non-stretch string around the base of the finger where the ring will sit. Mark where the ends meet, measure that length in millimeters (this is the inner circumference). Convert circumference to diameter by dividing by π (3.1416) or use the chart below to find the closest size. Measure at the end of the day when fingers are warm; avoid measuring when cold or after heavy exercise.

Stone and band measurements

• Stone diameter: A 1.00 carat round brilliant moissanite is typically ≈ 6.4–6.6 mm (commonly ~6.5 mm). Measure across the widest point with calipers for the most accurate result.
• Band width: Measure across the top of the band (in mm). Typical solitaire bands are often between 1.5–3 mm wide—wider bands may feel tighter and can change the fit.
• Band thickness & weight: Thickness and overall weight vary with size and style; expect a lightweight ring in sterling silver (commonly 2–5 g depending on size).

Materials

• 1 Carat Moissanite (lab-grown silicon carbide)
  • Composition: silicon carbide (SiC), created in controlled laboratory conditions.
  • Durability: very hard—approximately 9.25 on the Mohs scale—excellent for daily wear.
  • Optical properties: high refractive index and dispersion means exceptional brilliance and "fire".
  • Ethical & environmental note: moissanite is typically lab-grown and therefore conflict-free and resource-efficient compared with mined stones.
• 925 Sterling Silver
  • Composition: 92.5% pure silver + 7.5% other metals (usually copper) for strength.
  • Appearance: bright white finish; many sterling silver items are rhodium-plated for extra whiteness and tarnish resistance (if plating is present it will be noted on the product page).
  • Care & sensitivity: sterling silver can tarnish over time and may cause reactions in people with extreme metal sensitivities (copper content). Rhodium plating reduces tarnish and reaction risk.

Model information

Typical characteristics of this 1 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Ring model:

• Center stone: 1.00 ct round brilliant moissanite, ~6.5 mm diameter.
• Setting: classic solitaire prong setting (commonly 4 or 6 prongs) to maximize light and sparkle.
• Band: 925 sterling silver, high-polish finish; typical top width ~1.8–2.5 mm (varies by size).
• Finish & construction: precision cast with hand-finished prongs; available in standard ring sizes.
• Use: suitable as an engagement or fashion ring — durable enough for frequent wear when cared for properly.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Everyday precautions: Remove the ring for heavy manual work, gardening, swimming in chlorinated pools, or when using strong household chemicals.
• Cleaning at home: Soak the ring in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for 5–10 minutes, gently brush with a soft-bristled brush (soft toothbrush), rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth. Use a dedicated silver polishing cloth on the band if needed.
• Tarnish removal: For light tarnish on sterling silver, use a silver polishing cloth or a gentle silver cleaner according to manufacturer instructions. Avoid aggressive abrasive pastes on the stone or settings. If your ring is rhodium-plated, avoid harsh dips that can remove the plating.
• Ultrasonic & steam cleaners: Moissanite itself is generally resistant to ultrasonic and steam cleaners, but these processes can stress delicate settings. If the ring has been glued or has fragile detailing, have a jeweler advise before using such equipment.
• Storage: Store separately in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent scratching and to slow silver tarnishing. Anti-tarnish strips in storage can help extend the finish.
• Professional care: Have prongs and settings inspected by a jeweler at least once a year; re-rhodium plating may be needed over time to restore bright white finish.

Style Tips

• Classic solitaire styling makes this ring a versatile centerpiece—wear it alone for a minimalist look or stack it with slim bands for texture.
• Pair with sterling silver or white gold accessories for a cohesive cool-tone palette; mix with rose gold for a modern contrast.
• For everyday wear, match with simple stud earrings and a thin chain; for evening looks, layer with a statement bracelet or chandelier earrings to enhance the moissanite’s brilliance.
• If used as an engagement ring, consider a matching wedding band with a gentle curve or a slim pave band to sit flush against the solitaire.
• Choose band widths carefully when stacking—thinner guards (1.5–2 mm) layer best with a solitaire of this size without overpowering it.
