10 Carat 925 Sterling Silver Moissanite Ring — Measurements, Materials & Care

How to measure this ring

1. Measure your finger (best for ordering a new ring)
   1. Wrap a strip of non-stretchy string or a paper strip around the base of the finger. Mark where it overlaps.
   2. Measure the marked length (millimetres) — this is the inner circumference.
   3. Compare the measured circumference to the ring size chart below. Measure toward the end of the day when fingers are warm for the best fit. For a snug fit choose the exact size; for loose fit add ~0.5 mm–1 mm.
2. Measure an existing ring (best if you already own a ring that fits)
   1. Measure the inside diameter across the centre (edge to edge) using a ruler or digital calipers. Do this in millimetres.
   2. Use the diameter to find the corresponding circumference or size from the chart below (Circumference = π × diameter).
3. Measure the stone and band (for listings or verification)
   • Stone diameter (round): use digital calipers across the girdle (widest point). For non-round shapes, measure length × width.
   • Stone depth/profile: measure from top (table) to bottom (culet). Depth affects visual size and setting height.
   • Band width: measure flat across the top of the band — common widths are 1.5–4 mm for fine rings and wider for statement bands.
   • Stone weight conversion: 1 carat = 0.20 grams. A 10 carat stone = 2.0 grams (stone only).
4. When in doubt, visit a local jeweller for a precise sizing — they can measure finger, ring ID and verify stone dimensions.

Quick reference — approximate round stone size and sample ring sizes

Approximate diameter for a round 10.00 ct moissanite (varies with cut): ~14 mm. (Carat-to-diameter varies by cut & proportions; measure with calipers for accuracy.)

Materials — what this ring is made of

925 Sterling Silver

Composition: 92.5% pure silver + 7.5% other metals (typically copper). Stamped "925". Sterling silver provides a bright white finish and is a durable, cost-effective precious metal.

Properties: attractive polish, may tarnish over time from exposure to air, moisture or chemicals. Many sterling silver pieces are rhodium-plated to enhance whiteness and slow tarnishing.

Practical notes: Can be resized by a jeweller. People with metal sensitivities sometimes react to copper alloys; if you need a fully hypoallergenic option, consult the seller about plating or alternate metals.

Moissanite (lab-created silicon carbide, SiC)

Nature: Lab-grown crystalline silicon carbide — visually similar to diamond with exceptional brilliance and fire.

Key properties:

• Hardness: ~9.25 on the Mohs scale — very durable and suitable for daily wear.
• Refractive index: ~2.65–2.69 (higher brilliance than diamond’s 2.42).
• Dispersion ("fire"): strong — moissanite can show more rainbow flashes than diamond.
• Carat/weight: measured same as diamond; 1 ct = 0.20 g. A 10 ct stone ≈ 2.0 g (stone only).

Ethical & practical: Moissanite is lab-created and considered an ethical alternative to mined gemstones. It is highly durable but, like any stone, should be checked periodically for loose settings.

Model information — what to expect from this design

• Product: 10 Carat 925 Sterling Silver Moissanite Ring — a bold, statement centre stone set in sterling silver.
• Stone: 10.00 ct moissanite (lab-created SiC). Actual stone shape (round, cushion, oval, etc.) and exact dimensions vary by listing — refer to the product page for cut and measurements.
• Setting: classic secure settings such as prong, halo or bezel are commonly used to showcase a large centre moissanite; prong settings maximize light return.
• Band: 925 sterling silver, usually high-polish; some rings may be rhodium-plated to enhance whiteness and resist tarnish.
• Markings: look for a "925" stamp inside the band to confirm sterling silver content.
• Resizing: sterling silver can typically be resized by a jeweller; large changes may affect the finish or plating and should be done by a professional.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Daily wear & prevention
   • Remove the ring when cleaning, swimming (chlorine damages metals and plating), showering, applying lotions or perfumes, or doing heavy manual work.
   • Avoid strong chemicals (bleach, chlorine, household cleaners) that can damage silver and plating or loosen settings.
2. Routine cleaning (safe for moissanite + sterling silver)
   1. Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap.
   2. Soak the ring 10–15 minutes, then gently brush with a soft toothbrush (focus under the stone and in crevices).
   3. Rinse under warm water and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
   4. Polish the band with a silver polishing cloth to remove light tarnish; if ring is rhodium-plated, use only gentle cloths to avoid wearing the plating.
3. Deeper cleaning & professional care
   • Ultrasonic cleaners: moissanite itself tolerates ultrasonic cleaning, but settings, adhesives and plated finishes can be affected — consult a jeweller first.
   • For heavy tarnish or for re-rhodium plating, take the ring to a professional jeweller rather than using harsh DIY chemicals.
   • Have prongs and settings inspected periodically (every 6–12 months) to ensure the stone is secure.
4. Storage
   • Store separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to avoid scratches.
   • Keep silver pieces in a low-humidity place or anti-tarnish pouch; silica gel packets help reduce moisture.

Style tips

• Statement centre: A 10 ct moissanite is a striking focal point — wear it as a statement ring for evening and formal looks.
• Pairing & stacking: Because of its size, pair with simple, narrow bands for balance. If stacking on the same finger, use one or two thin rings rather than several wide bands.
• Complementary metals: Sterling silver and rhodium finishes pair beautifully with cool tones (navy, black, emerald). For mixed-metal looks, add a single warm element (rose-gold accent) for contrast.
• Bridal styling: If used as an engagement piece, choose a wedding band with a subtle curve or a plain band that follows the profile of the setting.
• Everyday vs special occasions: Reserve heavy activity days for simpler rings; wear this piece when you want maximum sparkle and presence.
• Skin tone & colour: The bright white flash of moissanite suits cool and neutral skin tones exceptionally well; warm tones can make a bold contrast — try it on to see how it complements your wardrobe.
