Natural Moonstone and Zircon Open Ring

How to measure

Accurate measurement ensures a comfortable fit and prevents returns. Use one of the methods below depending on the tools you have.

1. Measure an existing ring:
   • Place the ring flat and measure the inner diameter from inside edge to inside edge across the center (use a millimeter ruler or caliper).
   • Match the inner diameter (mm) to the ring size using the conversion table below.
2. Measure your finger with a strip of paper or string:
   • 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.
   • Measure the marked length with a millimeter ruler to get the circumference (in mm).
   • To estimate inner diameter: diameter ≈ circumference ÷ 3.1416. Then use the conversion table to find the nearest size.
   • Tip: Measure at the end of the day when fingers are warm; if your knuckle is larger than the base, measure both and choose a size between the two measurements.
3. Use a ring sizer or printable chart:
   • Commercial plastic ring sizers or printable sizing charts (print at 100% scale) provide a quick and accurate result.
4. Special notes for open/adjustable rings:
   • Open rings are adjustable but should be resized gently. Most open designs allow about ±1 size adjustment; avoid repeated or forceful bending to prevent metal fatigue or stone loosening.
   • If the ring has stones near the gap, do not bend the ends—bring it to a jeweler for adjustment.
   • Wide bands feel tighter—if the band is wider than ~6 mm, consider sizing up ½ to 1 size for comfort.

Quick conversion (US size → inner diameter)

Measurements are approximate. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort, especially for wider bands.

Materials

Natural Moonstone

Moonstone is a variety of feldspar prized for its adularescence — a soft, iridescent glow that seems to float across the surface. Typical characteristics:

• Appearance: pearly/opal-like sheen (often blue or white); colors range from colorless to peach, gray or rainbow hues.
• Hardness: approximately Mohs 6.0–6.5 (softer than many common gems).
• Care considerations: susceptible to scratches and sharp blows; avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaners and prolonged exposure to strong chemicals or heat.
• Sources: commonly sourced from Sri Lanka, India, Madagascar and Brazil.

Zircon

This listing refers to zircon (the natural gemstone), not cubic zirconia. Zircon offers strong brilliance and a lively sparkle:

• Appearance: available colorless and in various natural colors (blue, green, yellow, brown); often heat-treated to enhance color.
• Hardness: approximately Mohs 6.5–7.5 (handle with care—harder than moonstone but softer than corundum).
• Care considerations: avoid sudden temperature changes, harsh chemicals and repeated hard knocks; ultrasonic cleaning is not recommended for some treated zircons.
• Note: zircon is dense and brilliant; do not confuse it with synthetic cubic zirconia, which is a different material.

Metals & finishes (typical)

If a specific metal (sterling silver, gold filled/plated, stainless steel, etc.) is not listed on the product page, check the item details before purchasing. General care by metal:

• Sterling silver (925): can tarnish; clean with a silver-polishing cloth and store in anti-tarnish packaging.
• Gold plated: attractive and affordable but plating wears over time—avoid abrasion and chemicals; gentle cleaning only.
• Gold-filled: more durable than plating but still needs gentle care.
• Stainless steel/brass: low maintenance, but brass may tarnish and may require polishing.

Model & fit (reference)

For visual reference only: the model in the photos is wearing a US size 6 (approx. 16.5 mm inner diameter). Photographic styling, camera angle and finger shape affect perceived fit — use the measuring guide above to choose your correct size.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Remove the ring before showering, swimming, exercising, cleaning or applying lotions, perfumes and hand sanitizers.
• Avoid hard knocks and rough surfaces—moonstone and zircon can chip or scratch if struck.
• Clean gently: mix lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap, soak briefly (1–2 minutes), then gently brush with a soft toothbrush. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Do not use steam or ultrasonic cleaners for moonstone; exercise caution with zircon if it has been heat-treated—when in doubt, use only gentle hand cleaning.
• Store separately in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent rubbing and scratching from other pieces.
• For plated items: avoid abrasive cleaners and frequent polishing to prolong the finish; consider re-plating if wear becomes noticeable.
• Have settings and prongs inspected periodically by a jeweler to ensure stones remain secure.

Style Tips

• Highlight the moonstone's glow by pairing the ring with cool-toned metals (silver, white gold) for a luminous look; warm-toned metals (yellow or rose gold) create a cozy, vintage feel.
• Stacking: this open ring pairs beautifully with thin stacking bands — mix textures (smooth + hammered) for visual interest.
• Layering: coordinate with a delicate moonstone pendant or zircon stud earrings for a cohesive set without overpowering the look.
• Outfit pairings: soft pastels, neutrals, navy or black help the moonstone’s shimmer and the zircon’s sparkle stand out.
• Placement: wear on the index or middle finger for a statement or on the ring finger for a romantic, classic look; consider nail shape and length to balance proportions.
• Mix metals confidently: a few mixed-metal pieces create a modern, effortless vibe and let the moonstone act as a neutral focal point.
