3 Carat Moissanite Platinum-Plated Ring — Measurements, Materials & Care

How to measure this ring

Use these simple methods to confirm your size and the ring's dimensions before ordering or resizing.

1) Measure your finger (recommended)

1. Wrap a thin strip of paper or non-stretch thread around the base of your finger and mark where it overlaps.
2. Measure the marked length in millimetres — this is the finger circumference. Use a ring-size chart to convert circumference to a standard ring size.
3. Measure at the end of the day (fingers are warm and at their largest). If your knuckle is larger than the base of your finger, choose the larger size or measure both and select the best fit.

2) Measure an existing ring

1. Place the ring face-down on a ruler and measure the inner diameter across the widest point in millimetres. For best accuracy use calipers.
2. Convert inner diameter to ring size with a standard chart. The inner diameter is the most reliable number when matching an existing ring.

3) Measure band width and profile

• Measure the band across the top to determine band width (in mm). Narrow bands (1.5–2.5 mm) look delicate; wider bands (3–6 mm+) look bolder.
• Note whether the band is comfort-fit (rounded inside) — comfort-fit bands can feel slightly tighter and may require a half-size up.

4) Measure the stone (approximate)

Use calipers to measure the visible diameter of the center stone. As a guide for round brilliant cuts, approximate diameter conversions are:

• 1.00 ct ≈ 6.5 mm
• 2.00 ct ≈ 8.2 mm
• 3.00 ct ≈ 9.0–9.5 mm (approximate for a 3.00 ct round moissanite; exact size may vary by cut and setting)

If you're unsure, contact customer service with a photo and measurements; we can confirm the best size and fit.

Materials

• Center stone: 3.00 carat lab-grown moissanite — brilliant-cut for maximum fire and brilliance. Moissanite is very durable (Mohs ~9.25) and suitable for daily wear.
• Metal & plating: Platinum-plated finish — a thin layer of platinum electroplated over a base metal (commonly sterling silver or a durable alloy). The plating gives a bright white appearance similar to platinum or white gold.
• Setting: Secure prong-style setting designed to showcase the center stone; exact prong count and profile may vary by size or version.
• Allergy note: Platinum plating reduces direct exposure to the base metal, but plating can wear over time. If you have metal allergies (e.g., to nickel), confirm the base metal before purchase or choose a solid precious-metal option.

Model & design details

This ring is designed as a classic solitaire to showcase a large 3.00 ct moissanite. Key design points:

• Timeless solitaire silhouette that emphasizes the center stone’s brilliance.
• Comfort-focused band profile for everyday wear and balance between presence and practicality.
• Versatile pairing — complements straight or contoured wedding bands and stacks.
• Available in standard sizes with options for custom sizing and engraving on request.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

1. Daily wear: Remove the ring for heavy manual tasks, exercising, gardening and when using harsh chemicals or bleach.
2. Cleaning: Soak in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes, gently brush with a soft toothbrush, rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth.
3. Avoid abrasive cleaners: Do not use abrasive polishing agents. Ultrasonic and steam cleaners can safely clean moissanite itself, but they may damage the plating — avoid them for plated items.
4. Plating care: Platinum plating will gradually wear from friction and exposure; consider professional replating when the finish fades. Frequency depends on wear—typically within 6–24 months for frequent wear.
5. Maintenance: Inspect prongs and settings periodically and have a jeweller check the setting annually to ensure the stone is secure.
6. Storage: Store separately in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches from other jewelry.

Style Tips

• Statement look: Let the 3.00 ct solitaire stand alone for formal events or when you want a single focal piece.
• Wedding band pairing: Pair with a thin white-metal band for a classic look or a contoured band to nestle close to the setting.
• Mixing metals: A platinum-plated finish coordinates with white metals; combine with rose or yellow gold accents for a contemporary contrast.
• Everyday styling: For daily wear choose a lower-profile setting or protective bezel alternative to reduce snagging.
• Proportion tips: On slender fingers, a narrower band keeps balance; on broader hands, a wider band complements the stone’s scale.
• Occasion: Ideal for engagement, anniversaries, or as a bold cocktail ring.
