5 Carat Moissanite 925 Sterling Silver Ring

How to measure

Getting the right measurements ensures comfort and a flawless look. Below are simple, reliable ways to measure finger size, an existing ring, the stone and the band.

1. Measure your finger (paper-strip or string method)

1. Use a thin strip of paper, a non-stretch string or a jewelry sizer. Wrap it around the base of the finger where the ring will sit.
2. Mark the point where the paper or string overlaps, then measure that length with a millimeter ruler — this is the inner circumference of your finger.
3. Refer to the ring-size chart below to find the corresponding US size. Measure at the end of the day (fingers are slightly larger), avoid cold weather, and measure 2–3 times for consistency.

2. Measure an existing ring

1. Place the ring flat. Measure the inner diameter (not outer) across the widest point in millimeters using a caliper or ruler.
2. Use the table below (circumference = diameter × π) to convert diameter to a size. For best accuracy use a caliper and compare to the chart.

3. Measure the gemstone and band

• Round stone: measure the maximum diameter in millimeters. For fancy cuts, measure length × width.
• Approximate for a 5.00 ct round moissanite: ~11.6 mm diameter (approx.; actual size varies by cut and manufacturer).
• Band width: measure the top of the band across its face in millimeters. Note whether the band tapers — provide the widest and narrowest widths if needed.

Tips: If your knuckle is larger than the base of your finger, measure both and choose a size that will slide over the knuckle but remain snug at the base. For wide bands, consider sizing up by ¼–½ size for comfort.

Ring size conversion (approximate)

For EU/International sizing: EU sizes are commonly expressed as the inner circumference in millimeters — you can use the circumference column above and round to the nearest whole number.

Materials — what they're made of and why it matters

Moissanite (the gemstone)

• Chemistry: silicon carbide (SiC).
• Origin: natural moissanite is extremely rare; almost all jewelry moissanite is lab-created and conflict-free.
• Optical properties: high refractive index (~2.65–2.69) and strong dispersion (~0.104) — produces exceptional brilliance and fire.
• Durability: Mohs hardness ≈ 9.25 (very hard and suitable for daily wear; second only to diamond among common gemstones).
• Appearance notes: often looks brighter than diamond due to higher dispersion; some specimens show birefringence (double refraction) under magnification.

925 Sterling Silver (the metal)

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver + 7.5% other metals (commonly copper).
• Finish: bright white, typically high-polish; some pieces are rhodium-plated to enhance whiteness and resist tarnish.
• Properties: attractive and affordable, but softer than gold/platinum and susceptible to scratching and tarnishing over time.
• Skin sensitivity: sterling silver is generally well tolerated; people with specific metal allergies should verify alloy composition.

Model information

• Band width: typically 2–4 mm at the top (varies by design; check listing for exact mm).
• Sizes: available in standard US sizes; custom sizing may be offered — verify before purchase.
• Packaging & extras: many sellers include a jewelry box and polishing cloth; check the product page for specifics.

Note: the exact cut, setting style and finishing (e.g., rhodium plating) will affect final appearance and maintenance needs — always confirm model photos/specs when possible.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Daily & general care

• Remove the ring for heavy manual work, gardening, sports, or exposure to harsh chemicals (chlorine, bleach, strong acids/alkalis).
• Avoid wearing the ring in hot tubs or swimming pools — chlorine can damage the metal and any plating.
• Apply lotions, perfumes and hairspray before putting the ring on to reduce build-up on the stone and metal.

Cleaning at home

1. Soak in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for 10–20 minutes.
2. Gently brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush around the setting and under the stone to remove oils and dirt.
3. Rinse with lukewarm water and dry with a lint-free cloth. For the silver band, finish with a silver polishing cloth if needed.

Moissanite is generally safe in ultrasonic and steam cleaners, but sterling silver or any plating may be affected and settings can loosen — when in doubt, avoid ultrasonic cleaning or check with a jeweler first.

Removing tarnish and polishing

• Use a dedicated silver polishing cloth for light tarnish. Avoid abrasive cleaners that might scratch the metal or damage finishes.
• For heavier tarnish, professional cleaning or a jeweler-recommended silver cleaner is safest. If the piece is rhodium-plated, polishing may wear the plating — re-plating may be required periodically.

Professional care

• Have prongs and settings inspected every 6–12 months (more often with daily wear) to ensure stones are secure.
• If resizing is needed, have a qualified jeweler perform the work to protect the setting and stone.
• Consider professional cleaning and re-plating (if applicable) to restore finish and longevity.

Style Tips

• This 5 ct moissanite is a bold statement piece — let it be the focal point: keep other jewelry minimal (simple studs, thin chain).
• Wear on the ring or middle finger for maximum impact; a large center stone also looks stunning as a cocktail or evening ring.
• Pair with a slim sterling silver or rhodium-plated wedding band for bridal sets; a plain polished band complements without competing.
• For daytime or work looks, balance the sparkle with matte or textured clothing (knits, denim) to avoid over-glamourous contrast.
• Evening and formal wear: monochrome outfits (black, navy, deep jewel tones) make the stone’s brilliance pop.
• If you plan to wear this ring daily, consider a low-profile or secure-prong setting to reduce snagging and protect the stone.
