How to measure — get the perfect fit

Use one of the methods below for the most reliable ring size. Always measure at the end of the day when your fingers are warm; avoid measuring when cold (fingers shrink) or right after exercise (fingers swell).

1. String / paper strip method
   1. Cut a thin strip of paper or a piece of non-stretch string about 10 cm long.
   2. Wrap it snugly around the base of the finger where the ring will sit.
   3. Mark where the paper or string overlaps, then measure that length in millimetres — this is the finger circumference.
   4. Compare the circumference to a ring-size chart (use the quick table below for U.S. sizes) or show the measurement to a jeweller to confirm.
2. Measure an existing ring
   1. Choose a ring that fits the intended finger (it must be a round band worn on the same finger).
   2. Measure the inner diameter (inside edge to inside edge) in millimetres using a ruler or digital caliper.
   3. Use the diameter to find the matching size in the table below.
3. Best option — jeweller or ring sizer

   Visit a local jeweller or order an inexpensive plastic ring sizer set for the most accurate result. If you plan to stack or choose a wide band, you may need to go up by half a size for comfort.

Quick reference — common U.S. sizes (diameter & circumference)

Note: This table shows common U.S. sizes only. For exact conversions to UK, EU or JP sizes use a full size chart or ask our customer support. If your ring band is wider than 4 mm, consider sizing up by 1/4–1/2 size for comfort.

How to measure ring details for listings

• Band width: measure across the band (mm) at the widest point using a caliper.
• Band thickness: measure the metal thickness (mm) at the centre of the band.
• Stone size: measure the gemstone across the girdle in millimetres (for round stones, report the mm and approximate carat equivalent — e.g., ~6.5 mm ≈ 1.0 ct).
• Total gem weight: list total carat equivalent for all stones (if known).
• Weight: use a jeweller's scale (grams) for the whole ring; useful for shipping and description accuracy.

Materials — what it's made of

925 Sterling Silver

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver alloyed commonly with 7.5% copper or other metals — hallmarked as "925".
• Characteristics: bright white finish, good malleability for detailed designs, comfortable for daily wear.
• Care notes: sterling silver can tarnish over time when exposed to air, moisture, or chemicals; many pieces are finished with a thin rhodium plating to reduce tarnish and increase durability.
• Hypoallergenic: generally suitable for sensitive skin, but allergies are possible if other alloy metals are present.

Moissanite (silicon carbide)

• What it is: moissanite is made of silicon carbide (SiC). Natural moissanite is extremely rare; most gemstones used in jewellery are lab-grown and chemically identical to the natural mineral.
• Durability: very hard (around 9.25 on the Mohs scale), second only to diamond for everyday scratch resistance among common gemstones.
• Optical properties: high refractive index and strong dispersion produce exceptional brilliance and fire — moissanite often appears more fiery than diamond.
• Color & clarity: available in colorless and near-colorless grades with excellent clarity; colors and grades vary by manufacturer.
• Eco & ethics: lab-grown moissanite is considered an environmentally and ethically friendly diamond alternative.

Setting & finish

The crisscross ring typically uses secure pavé or micro-prong settings for the moissanite stones and a polished finish on the plain band. Many pieces are rhodium-plated to protect the silver and keep a bright, white appearance. Always check product specifics on the listing for plating and exact setting type.

Model & fit information

Design notes: the crisscross silhouette is created by two intersecting bands — one band is polished sterling silver and the other is set with a row of round brilliant moissanite stones. The crossover creates subtle negative space and flattering sparkle from every angle.

• Fit: engineered for everyday comfort with a moderate interior curve; fits true to size for most customers.
• Stacking: narrow profile makes this ring ideal for stacking with slim bands or wearing alone as a minimalist statement.
• Sizing advice: if you typically wear a half size, choose that half size; for wider hands or swelling, size up slightly. For wide stacked combinations, consider sizing up 1/4–1/2 size.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

Follow these simple steps to protect the metal and keep the moissanite sparkling:

• Avoid chemicals: remove the ring before using household cleaners, applying lotions, perfumes, or swimming in chlorinated pools.
• Daily cleaning: soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes, brush gently with a soft toothbrush, rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Polishing: use a silver polishing cloth to remove mild tarnish from sterling silver. Do not use abrasive cleaners or toothpaste.
• Professional care: have prongs and settings checked by a jeweller at least once a year; re-rhodium plating can be applied to restore finish if needed.
• Storage: store separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to avoid scratches and slow tarnish. Anti-tarnish strips in storage help reduce oxidation.
• Ultrasonic & steam cleaners: moissanite itself is durable and generally safe in ultrasonic cleaners, but use caution — delicate pavé settings, glued stones, or plated finishes may be affected. When in doubt, choose gentle hand-cleaning or professional cleaning.

Style tips

• Everyday chic: wear the crisscross ring alone on the ring or middle finger for a minimalist, modern look.
• Stacking: pair with slim plain bands or a thin pavé band for extra sparkle — mix textures (polished + matte) for contrast.
• Mixed metals: sterling silver pairs beautifully with white gold, platinum or stainless steel; for a trendy contrast, try stacking with warm-toned pieces (rose gold) if you like a mixed-metal look.
• Occasion styling: the ring’s sparkle makes it perfect as a delicate engagement or promise ring alternative, or as a refined accessory for evening wear.
• Complementary pieces: match with moissanite studs or a delicate pendant to create a coordinated set without overpowering the crisscross design.
