5 Carat Moissanite 6‑Prong Ring — Product Information

Classic 6‑prong solitaire showcasing a 5.00 ct round moissanite. The six-prong design gives secure, symmetrical protection while maximizing light to the stone for exceptional sparkle. Available factory-finished in common jewelry metals (selection varies by product listing).

Quick specs (typical)

• Center stone: 5.00 carat round moissanite (approx. 11.0–11.3 mm diameter)
• Setting: 6‑prong solitaire (open head for maximum light)
• Metal (typical options): 14K / 18K yellow, white, or rose gold; Platinum (Pt950)
• Typical band width: 1.8–3.0 mm (varies by size and model)
• Stone mass: 5.00 ct = 1.00 gram (carat = 0.2 g)

How to measure — step‑by‑step

To be certain of fit and proportions, measure both the finger and the ring. Use a caliper or the methods below for best accuracy. If unsure, visit a jeweler for a professional sizing.

1. Measure a ring that already fits:
   • Use a caliper to measure the inside diameter across the widest internal points (in millimeters).
   • Convert that diameter to a ring size using the conversion table below.
2. Measure your finger (string or paper method):
   • Wrap a thin strip of paper or non-stretch string around the base of the finger where the ring will sit.
   • Mark where the ends meet, then measure that length in millimeters — this is the inner circumference.
   • Compare the circumference to the conversion table to find the nearest ring size. Measure at the end of the day when your fingers are warm and at a comfortable temperature; allow for knuckle width.
3. Measure the center stone diameter:
   • Place a caliper across the stone at the girdle (widest point) and read millimeters. A 5.00 ct round moissanite is typically ~11.0–11.3 mm in diameter depending on cut proportions.
4. Measure band width and thickness:
   • Use a caliper to measure the band across the top (band width) and the cross‑section thickness. Note these when ordering matching bands or custom sizing.

Ring size conversion (approximate)

Note: values are approximate. For perfect fit or when ordering a larger, heavier center stone, professional sizing is recommended.

Materials — what each component is and why it matters

Moissanite (center stone)

Gem material: lab-created silicon carbide (SiC). Typical characteristics:

• Hardness: ~9.25 on the Mohs scale (very durable for daily wear).
• Optical properties: high refractive index (~2.65–2.69) and strong dispersion (fire), which produces exceptional brilliance and colorful flashes.
• Color: available in near-colorless to faint-tinted grades; verify the color grade on the product page if color is important.
• Ethical & environmental note: moissanite is created in a lab and is an ethical alternative to mined stones.

Metals (band & setting)

• 14K gold: ~58.3% gold, durable and commonly used; white gold is usually rhodium-plated for a bright white finish.
• 18K gold: ~75% gold, richer gold tone and slightly softer than 14K; often chosen for luxury finishes.
• Platinum (Pt950): ~95% platinum, very durable, naturally white, hypoallergenic and heavier in feel; requires different tooling for resizing.
• Finishes: high polish is most common; some models may offer matte/hammered or pavé accents—check the product page.

Setting & prongs

The six-prong design balances security and visibility—each prong helps protect the girdle and reduce the chance of chipping while keeping the diamond/stone exposed to light.

Model information — what defines this ring

• Style: classic solitaire with six-prong head — timeless, symmetrical, and focused on the center stone.
• Profile: open head is commonly used to maximize light return; exact head height and basket design vary by manufacturer.
• Compatibility: the round solitaire is easy to pair with straight or slightly curved wedding bands; consider a contoured band for flush fit.
• Resizing: most metal options can be resized by a jeweler (small adjustments: ±1–2 sizes). Large size changes or certain designs (extensive pavé) may require special handling or remaking.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

Routine care and gentle maintenance will keep your moissanite center stone and metal band looking their best.

• Daily wear: Remove for heavy manual work, sports, and when using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals (bleach, chlorine, etc.). Chlorine can damage some metals and weaken settings.
• Cleaning at home: Soak in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for 10–20 minutes, gently brush with a soft toothbrush around prongs and under the stone, rinse and pat dry with a lint‑free cloth.
• Ultrasonic/steam cleaners: Moissanite itself tolerates ultrasonic and steam cleaners, but avoid these if the ring has loose settings, fragile side stones, or if you’re unsure—consult a jeweler first.
• White gold: May be rhodium-plated for a bright white finish; re‑plating (rhodium) is normal every 1–3 years depending on wear.
• Inspection: Have a jeweler inspect the prongs and setting at least once a year (or immediately after a hard knock) to ensure the stone remains secure.
• Storage: Store separately in a soft pouch or compartment to avoid scratches from other jewelry.

Style tips

• Let the center stone be the hero: A single, large 5 ct moissanite shines best on a simple, slim band (1.8–2.5 mm) that keeps focus on the stone.
• Metal choices: White gold or platinum emphasizes brilliance and a modern look; yellow or rose gold gives a warm, classic contrast—choose based on skin tone and personal style.
• Stacking & wedding band pairing: Straight, slim bands or pavé bands work well. For a flush fit, look for a contoured band matched to the solitaire profile.
• Proportion & finger shape: Large stones sit proportionally better on longer fingers or larger hands; if you have petite fingers, consider a slightly lower profile or tapered shoulders to reduce bulk.
• Occasion & wardrobe: This ring reads as an engagement or statement ring—pair with minimal accessory pieces (studs, delicate bracelets) for formal occasions or a bold cocktail look for evening wear.
