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

How to measure

Clear measuring helps ensure the right fit and expectations for this 5 carat moissanite ring. Use the methods below to measure ring size, stone dimensions and band details.

Ring size (recommended methods)

• Professional sizer: Visit a jeweler to be sized with a metal/plastic ring gauge — the most reliable method.
• Paper or string method: Wrap a thin strip of paper or non-stretch thread around the base of your finger, mark where it overlaps, then measure that length in millimetres. Do measurements at the end of the day and when hands are warm.
• Measure an existing ring: Place the ring flat and measure the inside diameter (mm) across the center with a ruler or caliper. Use the conversion table below to find the corresponding size.

Stone, band and setting measurements

• Stone diameter: Measure with calipers across the girdle (widest part). For non-round cuts, measure length × width. A round 5.00 ct moissanite is typically about 11–11.6 mm in diameter (approx. 11.4 mm) — actual size varies by cut and maker.
• Band width: Measure across the top of the band with calipers or a small ruler. Common widths fall between 1.5–4 mm; choose by comfort and proportion to the stone.
• Setting height: Measure from the bottom of the inside of the band (gallery) to the top of the stone to understand clearance and snag potential.
• Weight: Use a jewelry scale for precise mass when needed for appraisal or insurance.

Materials — what this ring is made of

Key material facts and what to expect from each component.

• Moissanite (center stone)
  • Composition: lab-grown silicon carbide (SiC).
  • Look: exceptional brilliance and dispersion (very lively “fire”), often brighter than diamond depending on cut.
  • Durability: Mohs hardness ≈ 9.25 — highly scratch resistant and suitable for everyday wear.
  • Ethics: typically lab-created, conflict-free and a sustainable alternative to mined stones.
• 925 Sterling Silver (band & setting)
  • Composition: 92.5% pure silver + 7.5% other metals (commonly copper). Marked "925" inside the band.
  • Appearance: bright white polished finish; some pieces may be rhodium-plated for extra whiteness and tarnish resistance.
  • Characteristics: softer than gold/platinum and prone to tarnishing; needs routine care to keep the finish bright.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Simple daily care and periodic maintenance will preserve brilliance and metal finish.

• Daily precautions: Remove the ring for heavy lifting, gardening, sports, and when using household chemicals (especially bleach or chlorine).
• Avoid cosmetics: Put jewelry on after applying lotions, perfumes, hairspray and makeup to minimize film build-up.
• Cleaning: Soak in warm water with a mild dish soap for 10–20 minutes, gently brush with a soft toothbrush, rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth. Use a silver polishing cloth for light tarnish on the band.
• Professional maintenance: Inspect prongs and setting every 6–12 months to ensure the stone is secure. Re-rhodium plating is available if needed for plated finishes.
• Ultrasonic & steam cleaning: Moissanite itself is generally safe for ultrasonic and steam cleaners, but avoid these if the setting is fragile or recently repaired; when unsure, have a jeweler advise.
• Storage: Store separately in a soft pouch or lined box to avoid scratches and reduce silver tarnishing. Anti-tarnish strips in storage help protect sterling silver.

Style Tips

• Let it be the focal point: A 5 carat center is a bold statement — wearing it alone highlights its impact.
• Stacking: Pair with slim sterling bands or a plain wedding band to balance the look. Slim, low-profile bands work best if you want everyday comfort.
• Metal coordination: Match other jewelry to the ring’s finish (sterling or rhodium) for a cohesive look; mix metals intentionally for contrast.
• Occasion pairings: Evening or formal wear accentuates the moissanite’s fire; for casual looks choose minimal complementary pieces so the ring remains the star.
• Proportions: If you have smaller hands, a narrower band or lower setting keeps the ring proportional and comfortable.
• Protection: Consider professional appraisal and insurance for high-value pieces.

Note: exact specifications (stone dimensions, prong count, finish, and available sizes) can vary between listings and manufacturers. Check the product-specific specifications on the product page for precise measurements and certification details.
