1 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Side Stone Ring | Silver / 4.5 101300055193393

How to measure this ring

Use these simple methods to get an accurate ring size and to measure the ring or stones if you need exact dimensions for fittings, resizing or to compare with other jewelry.

1. Measure your finger (recommended)

1. Measure at the end of the day when your fingers are warm and at a normal temperature.
2. Wrap a thin strip of paper, a piece of string, or a flexible measuring tape around the base of the finger where the ring will sit.
3. Mark where the ends meet, then measure that length with a ruler in millimetres (mm). This length is the inner circumference of the ring.
4. Compare the measured circumference with the table below to find the closest US size. If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort. Wide bands typically require a half-size larger.

2. Measure an existing ring

1. Lay the ring flat and measure the inside diameter (the widest interior point across the ring) in millimetres using a caliper or a ruler.
2. Match that diameter to the table below to find the equivalent ring size.

3. Other options

• Use a printable ring sizer or a plastic ring gauge for the most reliable at-home read.
• Visit a jeweller for a professional sizing — recommended if the ring is for an engagement or if you are between sizes.

Quick size reference (approx.)

Measuring the center stone and band

• Center stone: a round 1.00 carat moissanite is typically about 6.5 mm in diameter (approximate — exact diameter varies by cut and manufacturer).
• Band width: measure across the top of the band in mm with a caliper or ruler. Narrow bands are 1–2.5 mm; medium 2.5–4.5 mm; wide bands above 5 mm may fit tighter.
• Side stones: accent stones are usually much smaller (often 0.01–0.10 ct each) — measure individual accent stone diameter in mm for precise matching.

Materials

Moissanite (center stone)

Moissanite used in this ring is a lab-grown silicon carbide (SiC) gemstone, valued for its brilliance and durability.

• Composition: silicon carbide (lab-grown)
• Hardness: about Mohs 9.25 (very durable for everyday wear)
• Optical properties: very high refractive index (≈ 2.65–2.69) and strong dispersion — gives extra "fire" and sparkle
• Ethics & sustainability: lab-created and conflict-free
• Size reference: 1 carat round moissanite ≈ 6.5 mm diameter (approx.)

925 Sterling Silver (band & setting)

The setting and band are crafted from 925 sterling silver — a widely used, bright white precious metal.

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver + 7.5% other metals (commonly copper)
• Marking: typically stamped "925" to indicate sterling silver
• Properties: attractive bright finish, comfortable to wear; softer than gold and prone to tarnish over time
• Allergies: generally well tolerated; some people with metal sensitivities may react to alloying metals (rare)

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Daily care

• Remove the ring for heavy lifting, sports, gardening, or any work that risks knocks or abrasions.
• Avoid exposure to chlorine, bleach and household chemicals which can damage the metal and finish.
• Apply lotions, perfumes and hairspray before putting the ring on to reduce buildup on the stones and metal.

Regular cleaning (safe and effective)

1. Prepare warm water with a drop of mild dish soap.
2. Soak the ring for 5–10 minutes to loosen dirt.
3. Gently brush with a soft toothbrush around prongs and under the stones.
4. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Polish with a silver polishing cloth if needed.

Deep cleaning & professional care

• Moissanite itself is durable and generally safe in ultrasonic and steam cleaners, but sterling silver settings and delicate prongs can be affected by professional cleaning methods — when in doubt, use gentle soap-and-water cleaning or consult a jeweller.
• For heavy tarnish on sterling silver, use a silver polishing cloth or consult a jeweller. Avoid abrasive pastes that could scratch the metal or loosen stones.
• Have prongs and settings checked by a jeweller annually to ensure stones are secure.

Storage

• Store in a soft pouch or a separate compartment in a jewelry box to prevent scratches from other pieces.
• Keep in a cool, dry place; an anti-tarnish strip or silica packet can help reduce silver tarnishing.

Style Tips

• Engagement set: pair with a slim, plain sterling silver or matching pavé band so the 1 ct center remains the focal point.
• Stacking: choose thin bands (1.5–2.5 mm) with similar finishes; avoid very wide stacks that can overpower the center stone.
• Metal mixing: sterling silver pairs beautifully with other white metals (white gold, platinum). Mixing with warm metals (rose or yellow gold) can create a modern, mixed-metal look.
• Outfits: moissanite's lively fire looks striking against darker colors (black, navy) and adds sparkle to evening wear; for daytime, keep other jewelry minimal.
• Comfort & proportion: a 1 carat center is versatile — it looks elegant on both slender and fuller fingers. If you prefer a low-profile look, choose a lower-set prong setting.
