18K Gold-Plated 925 Sterling Silver Double‑Layered Ring — Product Details & Care

How to measure

Below are quick, reliable ways to measure either an existing ring or your finger so you can choose the correct size for this double‑layered ring.

Measure an existing ring (recommended)

1. Place the ring flat on a ruler or measuring tape and measure the inside diameter (the distance across the inside of the ring at its widest point) in millimetres (mm). A digital caliper gives the most accurate reading.
2. Match that inner diameter to the size chart below. If the ring is worn or distorted, measure a different ring that fits the same finger.

Measure your finger (when you don’t have a sample ring)

1. Use a narrow strip of paper or non‑stretchy string. Wrap it snugly around the base of the finger where the ring will sit, mark the overlap point, then lay flat and measure the marked length in millimetres — this is the finger circumference.
2. Use the circumference (or divide by π ≈ 3.1416 to get the inner diameter) and consult the chart below to find the nearest size.
3. Tips: measure at the end of the day when fingers are warm, measure more than once, account for knuckle size (if knuckle is larger than base, measure both and pick a size between), and if you are between sizes consider the wider band fit—choose the larger size for comfort.

Quick ring‑size reference

Note: half sizes fall approximately halfway between the listed measurements. If precision is required, a jeweller can measure with professional tools.

Materials — what it is and what to expect

• Base metal: 925 sterling silver — an alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper). Look for the "925" stamp as a hallmark of authenticity.
• Surface finish: 18K gold plating — a thin layer of 18K gold applied over the sterling silver to give a warm gold appearance.
• Behavior: Sterling silver can tarnish over time when exposed to air, moisture, and chemicals; the gold plating slows visible tarnish and provides the gold color, but plating will wear over extended everyday use.
• Allergies: Many people tolerate sterling silver well; if you have a known metal allergy (to copper, nickel, or certain gold alloys) test by brief wear first. Because the piece is plated, direct contact with the underlying silver is minimal until the plating wears away.
• Re‑plating: When the gold finish eventually shows wear, a jeweller can re‑plate the ring to restore the original look.

Information about the model

This piece is a double‑layered ring crafted with a 925 sterling silver core and finished with an 18K gold plating. The double‑layered design creates a stacked, contemporary silhouette while remaining a single comfortable piece for everyday wear.

• Design: two visually layered bands fused into one ring for a stacked look without separate pieces.
• Finish: polished gold surface over sterling silver—gives a bright gold tone while keeping the integrity of sterling silver underneath.
• Fit notes: wider or layered rings can feel slightly snugger than thin bands—if you are between sizes, consider the next half size up for comfort.
• Use: versatile for daily wear, stacking with other thin rings, or as a statement accent.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

1. Avoid contact with water and chemicals: remove before showering, swimming (chlorine/sea), washing dishes, using cleaning products, or applying lotions and perfumes.
2. Wear carefully: remove during sports, heavy manual work, or activities that may scratch the plating.
3. Cleaning routine:
   1. Mix lukewarm water with a small drop of mild dish soap.
   2. Soak briefly (1–2 minutes) and gently clean with a soft cloth or very soft toothbrush. Do not scrub aggressively—this can remove plating.
   3. Rinse with clean water and dry completely with a soft lint‑free cloth.
4. Polishing: use a soft polishing cloth made for jewelry. Avoid silver dips, abrasive polishes, toothpaste, or baking soda on plated surfaces—they can strip the gold layer.
5. Storage: store the ring in a cool, dry place, ideally in its own pouch or a lined jewelry box to reduce scratches and slow tarnishing. Anti‑tarnish strips or silica packs help in humid environments.
6. Professional care: for stubborn dirt, deep scratches, or when plating is worn, take the ring to a professional jeweller for cleaning or re‑plating.

Style Tips

• Stack it: pair with thin gold‑plated or sterling silver bands for a curated stacked look — mixing textures (smooth + hammered) adds interest.
• Mix metals thoughtfully: this warm 18K gold tone pairs well with rose gold and warm‑tone accessories; for a modern contrast, mix with matte silver pieces.
• Wear it as a statement: the double‑layer silhouette looks great on the middle or ring finger; consider wearing alone for a minimalist look or with a thin engagement/wedding band for layered elegance.
• Balance proportions: if the ring is medium to wide, keep other finger jewelry minimal to let the double‑layer detail stand out.
• Nail & outfit pairing: warm neutrals, rich jewel tones, or monochrome outfits complement gold tones; simple manicures highlight the ring’s shape.
