925 Sterling Silver 1 Carat Moissanite Ring | Silver / 4.5 101300313561864

How to measure (ring size & stone dimensions)

Use these simple, reliable methods to get the right fit and confirm the stone/band dimensions before purchase or resizing.

1. Best — Ring sizer (recommended): Use a plastic or metal ring mandrel or a full set of ring gauges. Try several sizes at room temperature, slide the sizer over the knuckle — the correct size should fit comfortably and resist a little when pulled off.
2. Measure an existing ring: Lay the ring flat and measure the inside diameter (edge to edge across the center) with a caliper or a millimeter ruler. Match that mm measurement to the conversion table below.
3. String / paper method: Wrap a thin strip of paper or non-stretch thread around the base of the finger, mark where it overlaps, then measure that length in millimetres. That length is the inner circumference — compare to the table below (or divide by π to get diameter).

Quick tips:

• Measure at the end of the day when fingers are warm and at their largest.
• If your knuckle is much larger than the base of your finger, measure both and choose a size between or one size larger so it can pass over the knuckle.
• For wider bands (4mm+), consider going up ½ to 1 full size for comfort.

Materials & specifications

Metal

925 Sterling Silver — 92.5% pure silver alloyed (commonly with copper). Bright, polished finish; may tarnish over time without care.

Center Stone

1.00 carat Moissanite (lab-grown silicon carbide). Typical round brilliant 1.00 ct moissanite is ~6.5 mm diameter (check the product listing for exact cut dimensions).

Durability

Moissanite hardness ~9.25 on the Mohs scale (very durable for daily wear). Sterling silver is durable but softer than gold or platinum and can scratch or dent under rough conditions.

Optical properties

Moissanite has very high brilliance and strong fire (dispersion). Refractive index ≈ 2.65–2.69 (higher sparkle than diamond in many lighting conditions).

Ethics & origin

Moissanite used in jewelry is lab-created and conflict-free. Sterling silver is mined and alloyed — check specific sourcing information with the retailer if provenance is important.

Model details

• Style: Classic solitaire-style 1.00 ct moissanite ring set in 925 sterling silver (polished finish).
• Stone: Round brilliant 1.00 ct moissanite — visually similar to diamond with strong sparkle. Typical diameter ≈ 6.5 mm.
• Band width: Commonly 2–3 mm (varies by size and model).
• Setting: Secure prong setting (often 4 or 6 prongs) to maximise light return; prong count depends on exact model.
• Available sizes: Most sellers offer standard US sizes (commonly 4–12) and resizing by a jeweller is possible in many cases. Sterling silver rings generally can be resized up or down a few sizes; very thin or uniquely detailed bands may have limits.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

Follow these straightforward steps to preserve sparkle and prevent damage or tarnish.

Daily care

• Remove the ring when doing heavy manual work, exercise, swimming, or using household chemicals.
• Avoid contact with chlorine, bleach, cosmetics, hairspray, and perfume — these accelerate tarnish or can affect plating.
• Wipe the ring after wear with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and residue.

Cleaning

1. Prepare warm water with a drop of mild dish soap and soak the ring 10–15 minutes.
2. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean under the stone and around prongs; avoid hard scrubbing.
3. Rinse well with warm water and pat dry with a soft cloth. For extra shine, polish the silver with a silver polishing cloth.

What to avoid

• Abrasive cleaners, toothpaste, or hard brushes that scratch silver or dull the finish.
• Frequent use of strong chemical dips on plated finishes — if the ring is rhodium plated, dips can remove the plating.
• Automatic ultrasonic or steam cleaning is generally safe for moissanite itself, but avoid if the setting is glued, fragile, or set with mixed/fragile stones. When in doubt, ask a jeweller.

Storage & maintenance

• Store separately in a soft pouch or a lined jewellery box to prevent scratches and slow tarnish.
• Use anti-tarnish strips or pouches for long-term storage.
• Have prongs and the setting inspected by a professional jeweller every 6–12 months to ensure the stone remains secure.

Style tips

• Engagement classic: Let the 1 ct solitaire moissanite be the star — pair with a simple, slim wedding band (1.5–2.5 mm) for a timeless stack.
• Stacking: Combine with thin textured or pavé bands for contrast. Keep the band widths small for a neat stacked look.
• Mixing metals: Sterling silver pairs beautifully with cool-toned metals (white gold, platinum). For a mixed-metal look, introduce a thin rose-gold or yellow-gold band to add warmth and contrast.
• Everyday vs evening: Moissanite shows lots of fire in bright light — wear it daily for eye-catching sparkle, or choose a lower-profile setting if you need a snag-free everyday ring.
• Complementary pieces: Match with delicate silver earrings and a simple pendant to keep a cohesive, elegant look that highlights the center stone.
