1 Carat Moissanite Rhodium-Plated Solitaire Ring

How to measure this product

Accurate measurements help ensure a comfortable fit and the look you expect. Use the steps below to measure ring size, the center stone and the band.

Ring size — quick methods

1. Use a ring sizer: try a physical ring-sizing tool or a set of plastic ring gauges. Slide the gauge onto the finger; it should feel snug but still pass over the knuckle comfortably.
2. Measure an existing ring: measure the inner diameter across the widest point with calipers (in millimetres). Convert that diameter to a size using the table below.
3. String or paper method: wrap a thin strip of paper or a piece of string once around the base of the finger, mark the overlap, then measure that length in millimetres — that is the finger circumference. Match the circumference to the size chart.
4. Timing & temperature: measure at the end of the day and when your hands are warm. Do not measure when your fingers are cold, swollen or right after exercise.

Measuring the center stone

• Use digital calipers and measure across the stone’s widest point (the girdle) in millimetres.
• Typical dimension: a round brilliant ~1.00 ct moissanite generally measures about 6.3–6.6 mm in diameter depending on cut and proportions. (1 carat = 0.20 grams.)
• If you don’t have calipers, ask a jeweller to verify exact stone diameter and measurements for you.

Measuring the band and setting

• Band width: measure across the top of the shank with calipers. Classic solitaire bands are commonly 1.5–2.5 mm wide.
• Band thickness (depth): measure from the inner surface to the outer surface; typical shank depth ranges around 1.0–2.0 mm depending on style.
• Setting height: measure from the bottom of the ring (closest to the finger) to the top of the setting to know how much the stone sits off the finger. Solitaire prong heights commonly fall in the 3–6 mm range.

Materials — what this ring is made of

Moissanite (center stone)

• Chemistry: silicon carbide (SiC), typically lab-grown.
• Appearance: brilliant, high fire (dispersion) and noticeable sparkle — often more “fiery” than diamond.
• Durability: very hard — approximately 9.25 on the Mohs scale — excellent for daily wear.
• Weight and size note: 1 carat = 0.20 grams. A 1.00 ct round moissanite is commonly about 6.3–6.6 mm across depending on cut.
• Ethical & environmental: moissanite is lab-created, offering a sustainable alternative to mined stones.

Rhodium plating (metal finish)

• Purpose: rhodium is a bright, white precious metal applied as a thin plating to give a reflective, tarnish-resistant, hypoallergenic finish (commonly used over white gold or sterling silver).
• Base metal: many rhodium-plated pieces use 925 sterling silver or white gold alloys as the base. Confirm the underlying metal on the product page if required.
• Wear & maintenance: rhodium plating protects and brightens but is thin and will wear over time in high-contact areas; periodic re-plating restores the finish.

Model information (overview)

• Product: 1 Carat Moissanite Rhodium-Plated Solitaire Ring
• Center stone: 1.00 ct moissanite (round brilliant commonly used in solitaire designs — check SKU for exact cut)
• Setting: classic solitaire (single-stone) style — usually a prong setting for maximum light return
• Finish: rhodium-plated high-polish white finish
• Typical band: smooth shank with a conservative band width (approx. 1.5–2.5 mm; varies by size)
• Care & service: rhodium re-plating and periodic prong inspection recommended as part of regular maintenance

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Follow these simple steps to maintain sparkle and extend the life of the plating and setting.

• Daily precautions: remove the ring for heavy manual tasks, gardening, sports, and when using household cleaners or chemicals.
• Routine cleaning: soak in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for a few minutes, then gently brush with a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Avoid abrasives: do not use abrasive cloths, toothpaste, or harsh polishing compounds on rhodium-plated surfaces — these remove plating.
• Ultrasonic and steam cleaners: although moissanite itself tolerates ultrasonic cleaners, rhodium plating and some settings can be affected — check with the jeweller before use.
• Chlorine & saltwater: avoid prolonged exposure to chlorinated pools, hot tubs and seawater as these accelerate plating wear and may harm some base metals.
• Storage: keep the ring in a separate pouch or compartment to avoid rubbing against other jewelry; anti-tarnish packaging helps if the base metal is silver.
• Periodic service: have prongs and settings checked by a professional jeweller every 6–12 months and consider rhodium re-plating every 1–3 years depending on wear.

Style tips

• Classic and timeless: wear the solitaire alone for a clean engagement look — a thin band keeps the focus on the 1 ct center stone.
• Stacking: complement with thin stacking bands (plain, milgrain or pavé) to add texture while preserving the solitaire’s prominence.
• Wedding band pairing: choose a contoured or curved band to nestle against the solitaire setting for a flush look.
• Mixed-metal looks: combine the rhodium-plated ring with warm gold tones for contrast; be mindful that different metals and platings wear differently over time.
• Occasion styling: for daytime, pair with minimalist pieces; for evening looks, add matching moissanite or diamond studs and a delicate pendant.
• Proportion advice: 1 ct is versatile — narrow bands lengthen the appearance of the finger, while wider bands make a bolder statement; choose proportions to suit hand shape.
• Practical tip: put the ring on as the last step when dressing (after lotions/perfume) and remove it first when undressing to reduce exposure to products that dull the finish.
