1 Carat Moissanite Heart Ring | Silver / 4.5 100100594491162

How to measure

To ensure the perfect fit and to understand the ring's proportions, measure both the finger and the ring components. Below are simple, reliable methods you can do at home and tips for what jewelers measure in the workshop.

Measure your finger (best for sizing)

1. At the end of the day (when fingers are warm and at typical size), wrap a thin strip of paper, thread or dental floss around the base of the finger you plan to wear the ring on.
2. Mark where the material overlaps and lay it flat; measure the length from the start to the mark in millimetres — this is the finger circumference.
3. To convert circumference to diameter: diameter (mm) = circumference (mm) ÷ π (≈3.1416). Use the diameter or circumference with a ring-size chart to find your standard size (US, UK, EU, etc.).
4. If your knuckle is larger than the base, measure both. Choose a size that slides over the knuckle without being loose at the base.
5. If between sizes, opt for the larger size for comfort, especially with wider bands.

Measure an existing ring (quick and accurate)

1. Measure the inner diameter across the center of the ring from inside edge to inside edge (use a digital caliper for best accuracy).
2. Record that measurement in millimetres and compare it to a ring-size conversion chart to determine the correct size.
3. If you don’t have calipers, place the ring over a printed ring-size chart or bring it to a local jeweler for a free measurement.

Measure the stone, band and setting

• Stone width (heart-shaped): measured across the widest point (across the lobes). For a 1.00 ct heart-shaped stone, expect approximately 6.5–7.0 mm across depending on cut proportions.
• Band width: measured across the top of the band (common widths for this style: ~1.6–3.0 mm; thinner for delicate looks, wider for bold looks).
• Setting height: measure from the top of the stone to the underside of the ring where it touches the finger to understand how much the ring will sit off the hand (typical prong settings range ~2.5–4.0 mm).
• Carat weight: 1 carat = 0.20 grams = 100 points (a weight measure; physical size varies by cut).

Tip: For the most reliable results, have a jeweler measure your finger and the ring using calibrated tools before purchase or resizing.

Materials

Center stone

Moissanite (silicon carbide, SiC) — lab-created gemstone known for exceptional brilliance and fire. A conflict-free, durable alternative to mined diamond.

Key moissanite properties

• Hardness: about 9.25 on the Mohs scale (very scratch-resistant; second only to diamond).
• Refractive index: ~2.65–2.69 (gives strong brilliance and dispersion — lively fire).
• Thermal conductivity: high — can behave similarly to diamond on some testers.
• Color & clarity: available in colorless and near-colorless grades; clarity is typically very high for lab-grown moissanite.

Metal options (commonly offered)

• 14K or 18K Gold — available in white, yellow or rose finishes (white gold is often rhodium-plated for extra shine).
• Platinum (commonly 950) — durable and retains natural white sheen without plating.
• Sterling silver (925) — budget option; will oxidize/tarnish over time and may require more upkeep.

Hallmarks & identification

Look for metal stamps (e.g., 14K, 18K, 925, PT950) on the inside of the band. Moissanite is typically accompanied by a product description indicating carat weight and cut; some sellers include a certificate or grading details.

Ethical & environmental note

Moissanite is lab-grown and marketed as a conflict-free alternative to mined stones, with a smaller environmental and ethical footprint compared to traditional mined diamonds.

About this model

This 1 Carat Moissanite Heart Ring is designed as a romantic, eye-catching solitaire style centered on a heart-shaped 1.00 ct moissanite. The silhouette emphasizes the heart motif while keeping an elegant, wearable profile suitable for everyday wear or as an engagement ring.

• Center: heart-shaped moissanite — 1.00 carat (approx. 6.5–7.0 mm depending on cut).
• Setting: classic prong (commonly 3–6 prongs) or bezel options for different security and style.
• Band: slim, polished band for a delicate look (typical width 1.6–2.5 mm) — options for wider bands or pavé accents may be available.
• Finish & customization: available in multiple metals and finishes; engraving and matched wedding band options often offered.
• Weight: total ring weight varies by metal and size; the stone weight is 1.00 ct.

Note: exact dimensions and setting details may vary by manufacturer and customization — refer to the product listing or request specific measurements before purchase.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Moissanite is durable, but following a few simple care steps will keep the stone and metal looking their best for years.

Routine cleaning (safe and effective)

1. Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap.
2. Soak the ring for 10–20 minutes to loosen everyday oils and residue.
3. Gently brush the stone and setting with a soft-bristled toothbrush (work under the stone and around prongs).
4. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.

Deeper cleaning & professional care

• Ultrasonic and steam cleaners: moissanite itself is generally tolerant, but avoid these cleaners if the mounting or any glued elements might be compromised. When in doubt, consult a jeweler.
• Have prongs and settings inspected by a professional every 6–12 months to prevent stone loss.
• Rhodium plating on white gold may wear over time; re-plating can restore the bright white finish.

Daily wear tips

• Remove the ring for heavy manual work, gardening, swimming (chlorine), and when using strong household chemicals or bleach.
• Avoid contact with lotions, hairsprays and perfumes — these can leave a film on the stone and metal.
• Store separately in a soft pouch or a lined compartment to prevent metal scratches and contact with other jewelry.

Tip: If the ring collects stubborn deposits (e.g., sunscreen or grease), repeated gentle cleaning or a professional polish will restore brilliance.

Style Tips

• Romantic classic: wear the heart solitaire alone as an engagement ring for a clean, timeless statement. White metals (platinum/white gold) highlight the moissanite’s brilliance; rose or yellow gold creates a warmer, vintage feel.
• Stacking: pair with slim band(s) — straight or curved contour bands that hug the heart setting work particularly well for a stacked bridal set.
• Pavé or halo: add a pavé or halo band to amplify sparkle and visually increase the apparent size of the center stone.
• Everyday elegance: for daily wear choose a lower-profile setting (bezel or low prong) to reduce snagging and improve comfort.
• Mix-and-match: combine different metals for a modern, layered look (for example, a rose-gold engagement ring paired with a white-gold wedding band).
• Proportion guidance: narrower bands accentuate the heart shape and are flattering on slim fingers; wider bands can balance larger hands and give a bolder look.
