1 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Heart Ring — Measurements & Fit

How to measure the ring

Use one of these three simple methods to make sure you choose the right ring size and know the important product measurements.

1. Measure an existing ring (most accurate):
   1. Place the ring flat on a ruler and measure the inside diameter (mm) across the center from inner edge to inner edge.
   2. Match that diameter to the size chart below or use the circumference = π × diameter to convert.
2. Measure your finger circumference:
   1. Wrap a thin strip of paper, string or a flexible measuring tape around the base of your finger.
   2. Mark where the ends meet, measure the length in millimetres — that is the circumference.
   3. Find the corresponding ring size from circumference (mm) using a standard chart or convert to diameter by diameter = circumference / π.
3. Use a printable ring sizer or visit a jeweller: For the most reliable fit, have your finger sized professionally (especially for engagement rings or precise fits).

Measurement tips: Measure at the end of the day when fingers are warm, measure a few times, and if your knuckle is larger than the base, measure both and choose a size between or go up if you are between sizes.

Quick reference: common US sizes → inside diameter / circumference (approx.)

How to measure the stone and band

• Stone size (1 carat moissanite): 1 carat = 0.20 g. Depending on cut, a 1.00 ct moissanite is typically about 6.5–7.0 mm across (heart cuts may vary slightly). Measure the widest point of the visible stone face in mm.
• Band width and thickness: Use a caliper or ruler to measure the band width (top face) in mm. Common band widths are 1.5–3 mm for delicate rings and 3–6 mm for chunkier styles.

Materials — what this ring is made from

Moissanite (1 Carat)

• Composition: silicon carbide (SiC); moissanite used in jewelry is lab-created to exacting standards.
• Brilliance & fire: very high refractive index and dispersion — known for lively sparkle and colorful flashes.
• Hardness: approximately 9.25 on the Mohs scale (very durable for everyday wear; second only to diamond and sapphire in practical hardness).
• Color & clarity: available in near-colorless to colorless grades; clarity typically excellent because lab-grown material is more consistent than many mined stones.
• Ethics & sustainability: lab-created (conflict-free and lower environmental impact than mined stones).
• Care note: generally safe for ultrasonic and steam cleaning, but always consider the setting and consult a jeweller if unsure.

925 Sterling Silver (Band)

• Composition: 925 sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver alloyed with other metals (commonly copper) to increase strength and durability.
• Appearance: bright white metallic finish that complements colorless gemstones like moissanite.
• Durability: softer than gold and platinum — can scratch or dent if roughly handled; alloys improve hardness but the metal still requires care.
• Tarnish: sterling silver can oxidize/tarnish over time from contact with sulfur compounds or moisture; polishing restores the shine.
• Plating: some pieces are rhodium-plated to enhance whiteness and delay tarnish — plating will wear over time and can be reapplied.
• Hypoallergenic: generally well tolerated; if you have severe metal allergies, confirm the exact alloy content with the seller.

About this model

This ring features a 1.00 carat heart-shaped moissanite set on a 925 sterling silver band. The heart motif gives the piece a romantic, feminine silhouette while the moissanite delivers diamond-like brilliance with excellent durability for everyday wear.

• Center: 1.00 ct heart-cut moissanite (approx. 6.5–7.0 mm depending on cut).
• Setting: secure setting crafted to showcase the heart shape and maximize light return (prong-style settings are common for this model).
• Band: polished 925 sterling silver — comfortable fit and classic finish.
• Ideal uses: engagement, promise ring, anniversary or gift ring; also suitable for daily wear with proper care.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Daily care

• Remove the ring before applying lotions, perfumes, hairspray, or cosmetics — these can build up on the stone and metal.
• Avoid wearing in chlorinated pools, hot tubs, or while doing household cleaning with bleach or harsh chemicals.
• Take the ring off for heavy physical work and sports to prevent knocks or bending of the band.

Cleaning at home

1. Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap.
2. Soak the ring for 5–10 minutes, then gently brush the stone and setting with a soft toothbrush to remove dirt.
3. Rinse under warm running water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
4. To polish sterling silver, use a silver polishing cloth. For heavy tarnish, a jeweller can professionally clean and replate if needed.

When to use professional care

• Every 6–12 months have a jeweller check prongs and overall setting security.
• If the silver becomes deeply tarnished or scratched, a jeweller can restore polish or replate (if plated).
• A professional ultrasonics/steam cleaning is safe for moissanite but confirm with your jeweller about your ring’s specific setting.

Storage

• Store separately in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to avoid scratches from other pieces.
• Keep in a cool, dry place; anti-tarnish strips in the storage container will slow silver oxidation.

Style Tips

• Romantic centerpiece: the heart-cut moissanite is perfect for a romantic look—wear it on the ring finger or as a promise ring for an intimate statement.
• Everyday elegance: pair with simple sterling silver studs or a thin chain necklace for coordinated, understated sparkle.
• Stacking: add slim plain or textured silver bands on either side for a stacked look. Keep stackers narrow (1–2 mm) so the heart stone remains the focal point.
• Mixing metals: a thin rose-gold or yellow-gold stacking ring next to the silver band creates a modern mixed-metal contrast that highlights the heart shape.
• Occasion styling: for formal wear, pair with a matching moissanite pendant or drop earrings to create a cohesive set; for casual looks, let the ring stand alone.

Tip: Because the heart shape is distinctive, let it be the focal piece—avoid overcrowding the same finger with wide rings; slimmer companions work best.
