5 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Ring

This ring features an approximately 5.00 carat lab-created moissanite set in 925 sterling silver. Below are clear steps for measuring, concise material information, model/spec notes, a practical care guide, and styling tips to keep the piece looking its best.

How to measure

Use these methods to determine the correct ring size and understand the stone size:

1. Measure your finger (recommended):
   • Measure at the end of the day when fingers are warm and at their largest.
   • Wrap a thin strip of paper or non-stretch string snugly around the base of the finger, mark where it overlaps, then measure that length in millimetres — this is the inner circumference.
   • If your knuckle is noticeably larger than the base of the finger, measure both and choose a size between the two or the larger one for ease of fitting over the knuckle.
   • For the most accurate result, have a jeweller size your finger with a professional ring sizer.
2. Measure an existing ring:
   • Place the ring flat and measure the inside diameter (inner edge to inner edge) across the center. Digital calipers give the best accuracy.
   • Compare the diameter to the conversion table below to find the correct size.
3. Printable ring sizer:
   • Print at 100% scale (no page scaling); verify accuracy with a printed ruler or scale mark on the page before using.
4. Measuring the stone:
   • Carat describes weight, not direct size; a round 5.00 carat stone is typically around ~11.1–11.3 mm diameter (varies by cut and manufacturer).

Materials

Moissanite (center stone)

• Chemistry: silicon carbide (SiC); typically lab-created for jewelry use.
• Optics: high refractive index (~2.65–2.69) and strong dispersion that produces exceptional brilliance and fire.
• Durability: about 9.25 on the Mohs scale — very hard and suitable for everyday wear.
• Ethical note: lab-grown moissanite avoids many issues linked to mined stones.

925 Sterling Silver (band)

• Composition: approximately 92.5% pure silver plus 7.5% other metals (commonly copper); marked ".925".
• Appearance: bright white luster; some pieces may be rhodium plated for extra shine and tarnish resistance.
• Care considerations: sterling silver can tarnish when exposed to sulfur-containing environments or harsh chemicals — regular gentle care preserves appearance.

Model details (typical)

Confirm exact specifications on the product page. Common specifications for this type of ring include:

• Center stone weight: ~5.00 carat (approximate)
• Typical cut: round brilliant (other cuts may be offered on specific listings)
• Approx. round diameter for 5.00 ct: ~11.1–11.3 mm (varies by cut/manufacturer)
• Metal: 925 sterling silver (.925), possibly rhodium-plated
• Band width: varies by design (often ~2.5–4 mm)
• Hallmark: .925 (inside the band)
• Sizing: sold in standard US sizes; check the product page for available sizes and custom sizing options

Care guide — Keep it lovely longer

1. Daily precautions: Remove for heavy manual labor, gardening, swimming in chlorinated pools or hot tubs, and when using strong household chemicals.
2. Routine cleaning: Soak 5–10 minutes in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap, gently brush with a soft toothbrush (underneath the stone and around prongs), rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
3. Silver maintenance: Use a silver polishing cloth for the band if tarnish appears. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage any plating.
4. Professional care: Have a jeweller inspect prongs and settings periodically (annually) and perform professional cleaning as needed.
5. Avoid: Bleach, chlorine, acetone, and prolonged contact with cosmetics or perfumes. Do not rely on ultrasonic or steam cleaning unless a professional confirms the setting and any plating are safe.
6. Storage: Store separately in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratching; anti-tarnish strips or silica gel help reduce silver tarnish.

Style tips

• Let the stone shine: a 5 carat moissanite is a statement — wear it solo for maximum impact (perfect as a cocktail or statement ring).
• Pairing: combine with thin, understated bands or delicate studs to balance the look; sterling silver coordinates well with white metals like white gold or platinum.
• Two-tone looks: for contrast, pair with small yellow-gold accent pieces (be mindful if stacking directly against the silver band to avoid abrasion).
• Occasions: ideal for formal events, special evenings and milestone celebrations; it can also be a bold engagement ring alternative for those seeking diamond-like brilliance with a different price/ethics profile.
• Gifting: present in a protective box and include the care tips above so the recipient knows how to maintain the piece.

Note: Exact measurements, plating, available cuts and size options vary by listing. For precise dimensions, available finishes, resizing policies or certification details, please consult the specific product page or seller information.
