3 Carat 925 Sterling Silver Moissanite Ring

How to measure

Use the steps below to verify size and dimensions before purchase or to confirm measurements for resizing or insurance.

1. Find your ring size (finger):
   • Use a professional ring sizer or a printable ring-size chart (print at 100% scale). Try several sizes to account for knuckle width and time-of-day swelling.
   • String/paper method: wrap a thin strip of paper or thread around the base of the finger, mark where it meets, then measure the length in millimetres. Compare circumference to a size chart from the seller.
   • Tip: measure at the end of the day and avoid measuring when fingers are cold (cold fingers read smaller).
2. Measure an existing ring (if you have one):
   • Lay the ring flat and measure the inside diameter across the center with a ruler or digital calipers. Match that diameter to a ring-size chart.
   • Measure inner circumference = diameter × π if you need to convert.
3. Stone size (moissanite):
   • Use digital calipers to measure the stone across its widest point (girdle-to-girdle). For a round brilliant, this is the diameter.
   • Approximate reference: a 3.00 carat round centre stone is typically about 9.4–9.6 mm in diameter (actual dimensions vary by cut and maker — always confirm exact mm with the seller).
4. Band width, thickness and profile:
   • Measure band width at the top of the shank (usually given in mm). Typical widths: delicate 1.5–2.5 mm, classic 2.5–4 mm, statement 4+ mm.
   • Measure band thickness (edge to inside) with calipers if needed; comfort-fit bands are rounded on the inside and fit slightly differently.
5. Weight:
   • Use a jewelry scale to measure grams if you need exact weight for shipping or insurance.

Materials

925 Sterling Silver

Composed of 92.5% pure silver plus 7.5% other metals (commonly copper). Hallmarked "925". Advantages: bright white finish, good ductility, and polishability. Considerations: sterling silver can tarnish over time (especially with exposure to moisture, sulfur and some cosmetics); many rings are offered with optional rhodium plating for extra tarnish resistance and a whiter finish.

Moissanite (center stone)

Composed of silicon carbide (SiC). Most moissanite used in jewellery today is lab-created. Key properties: excellent brilliance and "fire", very high hardness (approximately 9.25 on the Mohs scale), and strong durability for everyday wear. Moissanite is typically more affordable than diamond and is ethically produced (no mining concerns for lab-grown gems).

Setting & finish

Typical construction: cast or hand-finished sterling silver band with prong (often 4 or 6 prong) or bezel style holding the moissanite. Finish options commonly include high-polish, satin/matte, or rhodium-plated finish. Accent stones (pavé or side stones) may be present on some models — verify exact configuration on the product page.

Model information

Overview: a classic, statement centre stone ring featuring a 3 carat moissanite set in 925 sterling silver. The design prioritises centre-stone brilliance with a secure setting and a clean, polished band.

• Common features: round brilliant 3.00 ct centre (approx. 9.4–9.6 mm for round), four- or six-prong setting, polished sterling silver shank.
• Band width: often in the 2–3 mm range for a balanced look — exact width supplied per listing.
• Available sizes: standard ring sizes; many sellers offer resizing or custom size requests — contact the seller for exact options and lead times.
• Markings: look for a "925" stamp on the inside of the band confirming sterling silver content.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Routine care preserves shine and avoids damage. Follow these simple steps:

• Daily: Remove the ring when doing heavy manual work, gardening, cleaning with strong chemicals, or swimming (chlorine can attack metals and plating).
• Cleaning at home: Mix warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, soak for a few minutes, then gently brush with a soft toothbrush. Rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth. Use a silver polishing cloth on the band when needed.
• Ultrasonic/steam cleaning: Moissanite itself tolerates ultrasonic and steam cleaning, but these methods can loosen small accent stones or older settings. If unsure, avoid ultrasonic cleaning or ask a jeweller first.
• Avoid: abrasive household cleaners, bleach, strong acids, and prolonged exposure to cosmetics, hairspray, or perfumes — apply beauty products before putting the ring on.
• Storage: Store the ring separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to prevent scratches and reduce tarnish. Anti-tarnish strips or silica gel packs help control humidity.
• Maintenance: Inspect prongs and settings periodically. Have a professional jeweller check and tighten settings, repolish, or re-plate (rhodium) as needed — re-plating intervals vary by wear, typically 1–3 years for frequently worn rings.

Style Tips

• For everyday wear: Choose a lower-profile setting (bezel or lower prong) if you lead an active lifestyle to reduce snagging and protect the stone.
• Engagement & wedding pairing: Pair with a slim, plain sterling silver or pavé wedding band. A curved or contoured band can sit flush against a raised centre setting.
• Mixing metals: Moissanite's bright sparkle pairs well with white metals (silver, white gold, platinum) and creates striking contrast with rose or yellow gold accents or mixed-metal stacks.
• Balance your look: With a large centre stone, keep other jewellery simple — classic stud earrings or a delicate pendant complement without competing.
• Occasion styling: Let the ring be the focal point for evening wear. For daytime, combine it with matte or textured bands for a modern, layered look.
