1 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Ring | Silver / 4 100500568671218

How to measure this ring

Use the steps below to find the right ring size and to confirm stone and band dimensions at home. For the most accurate result, visit a professional jeweller.

1. Measure your finger (string/paper method)

   Wrap a strip of paper or a non-stretchy string around the base of the finger you plan to wear the ring on. Mark where the ends meet, then measure the length in millimetres. Do this at the end of the day (fingers are largest) and measure over the knuckle to ensure the ring will slide on.

2. Match to a size chart or measure an existing ring

   If you have a ring that fits the target finger, measure the inside diameter (edge-to-edge across the center) with a ruler or digital caliper and compare to the table below. Measure inside-to-inside, not including the band thickness.

   US Size	Inside Circumference (mm)	Inside Diameter (mm)
   4	46.8	14.9
   5	49.3	15.7
   6	51.9	16.5
   7	54.4	17.3
   8	57.0	18.1
   9	59.5	18.9
   10	62.1	19.8

   Note: These values are approximate. Wide bands fit more snugly—if the band is wide, consider sizing up by about 0.5 size.

3. Measure stone and band dimensions (if needed)

   Use a digital caliper to measure the stone diameter across the girdle (for round stones) and the band width (edge-to-edge). A typical round 1.00 ct moissanite measures about 6.4–6.6 mm in diameter; actual size can vary slightly by cut and maker.

4. When in doubt, ask a jeweller

   A professional jeweller can size your finger precisely and advise on resizing limits for sterling silver bands.

Materials — what this ring is made from

Moissanite (center stone)

• Composition: lab-grown silicon carbide (SiC).
• Appearance & brilliance: very high refractive index (approx. 2.65–2.69) and strong dispersion ("fire"), so it displays brilliant sparkle and colourful flashes under light.
• Durability: Mohs hardness ≈ 9.25 — extremely durable and suitable for everyday wear (harder than most gemstones but slightly softer than diamond).
• Ethics: typically lab-created and conflict-free; a popular ethical and cost-effective alternative to natural diamonds.
• Identification: can register on some diamond thermal testers; grading/colour options vary by supplier (near-colourless to colourless grades available).

925 Sterling Silver (band & setting)

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver + 7.5% other metals (commonly copper). Pieces are usually stamped "925" on the inside of the band.
• Appearance: bright white, high luster; often chosen for its clean look and affordability.
• Tarnish & care: sterling silver can tarnish over time when exposed to sulfur, moisture or chemicals. Polishing and proper storage will keep it bright.
• Finish options: some rings are rhodium-plated over silver to enhance whiteness and reduce tarnish; plating can wear and be restored by a jeweller.
• Allergies: generally well tolerated; people with metal sensitivities should check alloy composition or consider alternative metals (gold, platinum).

About this model — 1 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Ring

This model highlights a 1.00 ct round brilliant moissanite set in a polished 925 sterling silver band. It is designed to showcase the center stone’s brilliance with a clean, timeless silhouette suitable for engagements or daily wear.

• Center stone: approx. 1.00 ct moissanite (round brilliant), typical diameter ~6.4–6.6 mm.
• Setting: classic solitaire-style setting (commonly 4 or 6 prongs to maximize light return and security).
• Band: polished 925 sterling silver; typical band width for this style is around 1.6–2.5 mm (varies by SKU).
• Hallmark: look for the "925" stamp inside the band to confirm sterling silver.
• Available sizes & resizing: many sellers offer sizes roughly US 4–10; sterling silver can usually be resized by a jeweller, though large adjustments may require remaking the band.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Daily handling: Remove the ring for heavy manual work, swimming (chlorine), and while applying lotions, perfumes or household chemicals.
• Everyday cleaning: Soak the ring for 10–15 minutes in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap. Gently brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush, rinse under warm water and dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Polishing sterling silver: Use a soft silver polishing cloth to remove light tarnish. For heavier tarnish, use a silver cleaner following the product directions, taking care not to let harsh dips contact the moissanite where adhesives or delicate settings are present.
• Ultrasonic cleaners: Moissanite is generally safe in ultrasonic cleaners, but if the ring contains glued accents or delicate settings, avoid ultrasonic cleaning. If plated with rhodium, ultrasonic use can affect plating—consult a jeweller first.
• Professional maintenance: Have prongs and setting checked annually (especially for everyday-worn pieces). Re-polishing or re-plating may be recommended over time to restore finish.
• Storage: Store separately in a soft pouch or lined compartment to prevent scratches and tarnish. Consider anti-tarnish strips in the storage box for the silver band.

Style Tips

• Engagement set pairing: A slim, plain wedding band (1.5–2.0 mm) sits nicely next to a 1 ct solitaire. Contoured bands can be used for a flush fit.
• Stacking: Stack with thin textured or pavé bands for a contemporary look. Keep stackers narrow so the center moissanite remains the focal point.
• Mixing metals: The bright white of sterling silver pairs well with white gold and platinum; for contrast, try pairing with rose-gold or yellow-gold accents for a modern two-tone effect.
• Occasions: The ring’s sparkle works beautifully for evening and formal wear; its durability also makes it suitable for everyday styling.
• Finger proportions: Narrow bands flatter longer fingers; if you prefer a chunkier look, choose a wider band but consider sizing up slightly for comfort.
• Complete the set: Match with simple moissanite stud earrings or a pendant to create a cohesive, elegant set without overwhelming the look.
