Lifelong Journey 1 Carat Moissanite Heart Ring | Pink Heart / 4.5 101300551431936

Lifelong Journey 1 Carat Moissanite Heart Ring

A romantic heart‑shaped, lab‑created moissanite center (approx. 1.00 carat) set on a choice of metal bands. Exact metal, finish and measurements depend on the SKU—please refer to the specific product options on this page for the precise configuration.

How to measure — ring size, stone and band

1. Measure your finger (three easy at‑home methods):
   • String or paper strip method: wrap a non‑stretchy string or a thin strip of paper around the base of the finger, mark where it overlaps, lay it flat and measure the length in millimetres. That length is the finger circumference — use the quick chart below to convert to a ring size.
   • Existing ring method: place an existing ring flat on a millimetre ruler and measure the inside diameter from edge to edge (across the center). Use the chart below to convert diameter to size.
   • Ring sizer / jeweller: for best accuracy, use a plastic ring‑sizer set or visit a jeweller to be sized professionally.
2. Measure the stone and setting:
   • Stone dimensions: use a caliper to measure the heart moissanite length (from the top cleft to the point) and the width (across the lobes). Record to 0.1 mm. A 1.00 ct heart cut commonly measures around 6.3–6.6 mm across, but exact L×W varies by cut.
   • Band width & thickness: measure the band across the top (in mm). Delicate bands are often 1.5–2.5 mm; wider fashions 3 mm and up.
3. Tips for a comfortable fit:
   • Measure at the end of the day (fingers are slightly larger then).
   • If your knuckle is larger than the base of your finger, measure both and select a size between them—usually the larger size for a comfortable fit.
   • If you are between sizes, most people choose the larger size or order a slight resize.

Materials — what you should know

Center gemstone: Moissanite

• Composition: silicon carbide (SiC); almost always lab‑created for jewelry use.
• Durability: very hard — about 9.25 on the Mohs scale — excellent for everyday wear.
• Optical properties: high refractive index and strong dispersion, giving exceptional sparkle and “fire.”
• Color & clarity: available in colorless and near‑colorless grades; lab production usually results in eye‑clean clarity.
• Ethical & value note: moissanite is an affordable, ethical alternative to mined diamonds and is highly durable.

Common metal choices

• Sterling Silver (marked 925): affordable and bright when new but will tarnish over time; requires occasional polishing and careful storage.
• Gold (10K / 14K / 18K — look for 14K/18K or 585/750 marks): durable and available in yellow, white and rose tones. White gold is usually rhodium‑plated to enhance whiteness and may need replating every 1–3 years.
• Platinum (often marked PT950): dense, very durable and naturally white; hypoallergenic and retains weight — scratches form a matt patina rather than losing metal.
• Hallmarks to look for: 925 (silver), 10K/14K/18K or 417/585/750, PT950 or 950 for platinum.

Model information — what to expect for this ring

The “Lifelong Journey 1 Carat Moissanite Heart Ring” denotes a heart‑cut center close to 1.00 carat equivalent. Exact appearance and specs depend on the variant you choose. Typical points to confirm on the product listing:

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

1. Daily care:
   • Avoid heavy impact, strong chemicals (chlorine, bleach), and abrasive cleaners.
   • Remove the ring before cleaning, gardening, swimming in chlorinated pools or doing heavy manual work.
2. Cleaning at home:
   • Soak in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for 10–20 minutes.
   • Gently brush with a soft toothbrush (pay attention to the stone point and prong areas) and rinse with warm water.
   • Dry with a lint‑free cloth.
3. Ultrasonic and steam cleaning:
   • Moissanite itself tolerates ultrasonic and steam cleaning, but only use these if the setting is secure and the piece was not assembled with adhesives. If uncertain, consult your jeweller first.
4. Periodic professional maintenance:
   • Have prongs and settings checked every 6–12 months and after any hard knocks.
   • White gold may need rhodium replating every 1–3 years; have a professional perform this to restore shine and color.
5. Storage:
   • Store the ring separately in a soft pouch or a separate compartment to avoid contact with other jewelry that could scratch metal or settings.

Style Tips

• Engagement classic: a solitaire heart moissanite makes a romantic engagement ring—pair with a simple matching band for a timeless look.
• Halo & sparkle: choose a halo setting to visually enlarge the heart and add extra sparkle; match with a curved wedding band to sit flush.
• Metal pairing: rose or yellow gold adds warmth and a vintage feel; white gold or platinum emphasizes the stone’s icy brilliance.
• Stacking: pair with thin pavé or plain bands for a modern stacked look—mix metals for a contemporary twist.
• Everyday wear: select a low‑profile or bezel setting if you need a ring that resists snagging for daily use.
• Coordinate jewelry: delicate heart or solitaire pendant and small stud earrings complement the romantic theme without competing.
