1 Carat Moissanite Platinum-Plated Ring | Silver / 4.5 101300188240244

How to measure this ring

Measure your finger (easy at-home method)

1. Use a strip of non-stretch paper or a piece of thin string. Wrap it snugly around the base of the finger where the ring will sit and mark where the ends meet.
2. Lay the paper or string flat and measure the length from the start to the mark in millimetres (mm).
3. That measurement is the inner circumference of the ring. To get the inner diameter, divide the circumference (mm) by π (3.1416).
4. Compare your measurement to the size chart below. Measure your finger at the end of the day and when it's warm (fingers are smallest when cold).

Measure an existing ring

1. Place the ring on a flat surface and measure the inner diameter across the widest point with a ruler or caliper in mm.
2. Use the diameter (mm) to find the corresponding size in the chart below (or convert to circumference: diameter × π).
3. If you can, use a jeweller’s caliper or take the ring to a jeweller for the most accurate sizing.

Quick conversion (approximate)

Common US ring sizes with their approximate inner diameters and circumferences:

Half sizes are about 0.4 mm difference in diameter. For exact sizing, a professional jeweller’s sizing is recommended.

Stone & band measurements to look for

• 1 carat moissanite (round brilliant) — face-up diameter is typically around 6.3–6.6 mm (approximate, varies by cut).
• 1 carat = 0.20 grams (stone weight).
• Band width for solitaire designs commonly ranges from about 1.5 mm to 3.0 mm; measure with calipers if you need a precise fit or stacking plan.

Materials — what this ring is made of

Moissanite (center stone)

• Chemistry: silicon carbide (SiC), typically lab-grown for jewelry use.
• Durability: very hard and durable — Mohs hardness ≈ 9.25 (close to diamond), excellent for everyday wear.
• Optical properties: high refractive index (≈ 2.65–2.69) and strong dispersion (fire) — brilliant sparkle and lively fire.
• Color & clarity: usually sold as near-colorless to colorless grades depending on supplier; clarity and cut quality affect the visual performance more than minor color differences.
• Environment: moissanite is lab-created (ethical and resource-efficient compared with mined stones).

Platinum plating and base metal

• "Platinum-plated" means a thin layer of platinum (or platinum-like finish) has been applied to a base metal. The base metal may be sterling silver, brass, or another alloy — check the product listing or ask the seller for the exact base metal.
• Appearance: plating gives the bright white, high-luster look of platinum at a lower cost.
• Durability: plating is thin and will wear over time, especially on high-contact surfaces (band bottom, edges); re-plating may be required after years of wear.
• Hypoallergenic note: solid platinum is hypoallergenic; plating helps but if the base metal contains reactive alloys, worn plating may expose them. If you have metal sensitivities, confirm the base metal before purchasing.

Model information — 1 Carat Moissanite Platinum-Plated Ring

• Design overview: classic solitaire-style ring featuring a 1.00 ct round lab-grown moissanite set in a polished platinum-plated band (solitaire/prong setting typical for this style).
• Stone: 1 carat (lab-created) moissanite — approximate face-up diameter ~6.3–6.6 mm depending on the exact cut and maker.
• Band: polished platinum-plated finish; width commonly in the 1.5–3 mm range (exact width varies by production batch or size).
• Sizes: usually available in full and half sizes — confirm availability for custom sizing or resizing policies.
• Weight & dimensions: total ring weight and exact dimensions depend on chosen size. For precise specs (band width, profile, prong count), refer to the seller’s technical sheet or contact them for the model number and measurements.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

Daily care

• Remove the ring before using household chemicals, swimming in chlorinated pools, exercising heavily, or doing rough/manual tasks.
• Avoid spraying perfume, hairspray, or lotions directly onto the ring; these build up film and dull the plating finish over time.
• Store the ring separately (soft pouch or lined jewelry box) to prevent scratches to the stone or abrasion of the plating.

Cleaning at home

1. Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap.
2. Soak the ring for 5–15 minutes.
3. Gently brush under the stone and around the setting with a soft toothbrush to remove dirt and oils.
4. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Note: moissanite itself tolerates ultrasonic and steam cleaning, but because the metal is platinum-plated, avoid ultrasonic and steam methods unless a jeweller confirms the plating and setting can handle it.

Maintenance

• Check prongs and settings every 6–12 months to ensure the stone is secure; have a jeweller tighten prongs if needed.
• Plating will eventually wear; re-plating is a normal service (frequency depends on wear — commonly every 1–5 years for frequently worn rings).
• For polishing or repairs, use a reputable jeweller who understands plated jewellery to avoid excessive metal removal during polishing.

Style tips

• Classic solitaire: the clean white-metal look of platinum plating pairs beautifully with white gold or silver wedding bands for a cohesive set.
• Stacking: choose thin stacking bands (1.5–2.5 mm) in the same tone for a modern stacked look; contrast with a warm metal (rose gold) for mixed-metal styling.
• Occasions: the bright fire of moissanite reads especially striking in evening wear and formal outfits — try darker fabrics to make the stone pop.
• Everyday wear: for an everyday engagement style, pick a low-profile setting or four-prong option to reduce snagging and protect the stone.
• Nail & accessory pairing: neutral or deep polish colors (nude, burgundy, navy) complement the white sparkle; pair with minimalist necklaces or studs so the ring remains the focal point.
• Comfort & sizing: if you plan to stack multiple bands, consider sizing to allow for comfortable stacking (sometimes +0.5 size depending on band widths).
