5 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Ring | Silver / 6 100500609771945

How to measure

Use these quick, reliable methods to measure ring size, band dimensions and the moissanite stone so you get a perfect fit and correct description for the product.

Ring size (three easy methods)

1. Measure an existing ring: Place the ring flat and measure the inside diameter across the widest interior point (use a caliper or a ruler to the nearest 0.1 mm). Compare with the conversion table below.
2. Measure your finger: Wrap a non-stretchy string or a strip of paper around the base of the finger where the ring will sit. Mark the overlap, measure that length in millimetres (this is the circumference), then divide by π (3.1416) to get the inner diameter in mm. Use the table below to find the closest size.
3. Professional/printable sizer: Use a printable ring sizer or visit any jeweller for the most accurate sizing (recommended if you are between sizes or ordering a wide band).

When to measure & tips

• Measure at the end of the day when fingers are warm and at normal body temperature — fingers swell in heat and shrink in cold.
• If your knuckle is larger than the base of the finger, measure both and choose a size that will slide over the knuckle comfortably (you may need to size up ½ size).
• For bands wider than ~6 mm, consider going up ¼–½ size because wide bands fit more snugly.
• Always measure at least twice for accuracy.

Ring size conversion (common US sizes)

How to measure the stone and band

• Stone diameter: Use a digital caliper to measure across the widest point of the gem (girdle to girdle). For a round 5.0 ct moissanite this is typically about 11.1 mm (approx.).
• Stone shape/size notes: Shape affects dimensions — a 5 ct round is roughly 11.0–11.2 mm; cushion and emerald cuts will have different length × width measurements (they can vary depending on cut proportions).
• Band width/thickness: Measure the band across the top for width (mm) and measure thickness at the center of the underside (mm). Typical band widths for this style range from ~1.8–3.5 mm.

Materials — what they're made of and what that means

Moissanite (center stone)

• Composition: silicon carbide (SiC), typically lab-grown.
• Appearance: high brilliance and strong "fire" (rainbow flashes) due to higher dispersion than diamond — very sparkly in both daylight and incandescent light.
• Durability: very hard and suitable for everyday wear (Mohs hardness ≈ 9.25). Tough and chip-resistant; can be cleaned with common jewellery cleaners.
• Colour & clarity: available in colorless and near-colorless grades and commonly eye-clean clarity; actual grade can vary by manufacturer.
• Ethics: lab-created so no mining-related concerns; a sustainable, conflict-free alternative to mined gemstones.

925 Sterling Silver (band & setting)

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver with ~7.5% alloying metals (usually copper) — stamped "925" inside the band.
• Finish: bright white, high polish; may be rhodium-plated to enhance whiteness and resist tarnish.
• Properties: durable for everyday wear but softer than gold/platinum and can tarnish over time (surface oxidation). Regular gentle cleaning keeps it bright.
• Allergies: generally well-tolerated, but trace alloys may affect very sensitive skin — rhodium plating reduces metal contact.

Model information (typical specifications)

• Product: 5 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Ring
• Center stone: lab-grown moissanite, ~5.0 ct (round ≈ 11.1 mm diameter; other cuts will differ)
• Setting: classic prong setting (commonly 4 or 6 prongs) to showcase the center stone
• Band: 925 sterling silver, typical top width 1.8–3.5 mm depending on style; high-polish finish or rhodium-plated option where indicated
• Hallmark: "925" stamped on inner band
• Available sizes: commonly sold in US sizes (e.g., 4–10) — see product options for exact availability and sizing services
• Approx. weight: varies by size & setting; sterling silver rings with a substantial 5 ct center typically fall in the ~3–7 g range (size- and design-dependent)
• Care features: securely set prongs; recommended prong checks every 6–12 months to ensure stone security

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Daily precautions

• Remove the ring before heavy manual work, house cleaning, swimming in chlorinated pools, hot tubs, or using harsh chemicals (bleach, cleaning solvents).
• Avoid contact with lotions, perfumes, hairsprays and cosmetics — apply these before putting the ring on.
• Take the ring off for sports or activities where it could be hit or scratched.

Routine cleaning (safe and simple)

1. Soak the ring in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes.
2. Gently brush under the stone and around the setting with a soft toothbrush.
3. Rinse thoroughly in warm water and dry with a lint-free cloth.
4. Use a silver polishing cloth on the band to remove light tarnish and restore shine.

Deep cleaning & professional care

• For heavier silver tarnish, use a commercial silver polish or professional cleaning — avoid harsh abrasives that could dull the finish.
• Ultrasonic cleaners are generally safe for moissanite but should be used with caution if the setting is loose or the ring contains other materials; check with a jeweller if unsure.
• Have prongs and setting inspected by a jeweller at least once a year and after any hard knocks.
• If the ring is rhodium-plated, re-plating may be needed periodically to maintain the white finish.

Storage

• Store the ring in a separate fabric-lined box or pouch to avoid scratches from other jewellery.
• Use anti-tarnish strips or a sealed pouch for long-term storage to slow silver oxidation.

Style Tips

• Cocktail & evening: A 5 ct moissanite is a statement piece — wear it solo on the right hand or as a striking engagement/cocktail ring with understated earrings and a sleek bracelet.
• Engagement pairing: For wedding sets, pair with a slim white-metal band (rhodiated silver or platinum look) so the center stone remains the focus.
• Stacking: Pair with very thin stacking rings (1–2 mm) rather than wide bands to avoid competing with the large center stone.
• Metal coordination: Match with other white metals (sterling silver, white gold, platinum) for a cohesive cool-tone look; a contrasting yellow gold band creates a modern mixed-metal statement.
• Proportions: A large, round 11 mm stone looks especially elegant on longer, slender fingers. If you have smaller hands, choose a thinner band or lower-set style to balance proportions.
• Everyday vs special occasion: For daily wear, prefer secure prong settings or a lower profile to reduce snagging; for special occasions, higher-profile settings maximize brilliance and presence.
