Platinum-Plated 5 Carat Moissanite Solitaire Ring | Silver / 6 101300107745845

How to measure

Below are simple, reliable ways to measure ring size and the stone so you get the right fit and know exactly what you’re buying.

Measure ring size — 3 easy methods

1. Best: Use a ring sizer. A plastic or metal ring gauge gives the most accurate result—slide it on the finger, adjust until it feels snug and read the size.
2. Measure an existing ring (inner diameter). Place the ring on a flat surface and use calipers or a millimeter ruler to measure the inner diameter across the center. Match the mm value to a size chart below.
3. String or paper strip method (circumference). Wrap a non-stretch string or a paper strip snugly around the base of the finger, mark the overlap, then measure that length in millimeters — that length is the inner circumference. Compare to the table below.

Tips: measure at the end of the day when fingers are warm, measure more than once, and if the knuckle is larger than the base measure both and choose a size that will pass the knuckle comfortably. When in doubt, have a jeweler size you.

Measuring the center stone (moissanite)

Measure the stone’s diameter across the girdle with digital calipers for the most accurate mm reading. For round brilliant stones, carat weight correlates approximately to diameter; typical round-brilliant approximations:

Note: these are approximate — actual diameter varies with cut proportions; for this product (5 carat) expect around 11 mm diameter for a round brilliant. Always verify the exact mm measurement from the seller if precise dimensions are required.

Materials

• Moissanite (center stone — 5 carat): lab-created silicon carbide (SiC). Key properties: Mohs hardness ~9.25 (very durable for everyday wear), high refractive index and dispersive power (strong brilliance and fire), typically near-colorless, and ethically produced in controlled conditions.
• Platinum-plated finish: a thin layer of platinum applied over a base metal to achieve a bright white, corrosion-resistant finish. Plating thickness and base metal vary by manufacturer — common bases include sterling silver, brass, or stainless steel. Plating improves appearance and tarnish resistance but will wear over time and can be re-plated.
• Setting: classic solitaire design (prong-style) intended to maximize light return from the center moissanite. Prong count and band width differ by specific SKU — check the product specification for exact details.
• Hypoallergenic note: platinum itself is hypoallergenic. The overall allergy profile of a plated piece depends on the underlying base metal; if you have metal sensitivities, confirm the base metal before purchase.

For precise technical specs such as plating thickness, base metal type, and any moissanite grading or certification, refer to the product details or certificate provided with the ring.

Model information

Model summary: "Platinum-Plated 5 Carat Moissanite Solitaire Ring" — a timeless solitaire ring built around a single 5.00 ct moissanite with a platinum-plated finish. Typical characteristics and intended use:

• Center stone: 5.00 ct round moissanite (round brilliant cut is most common for solitaires).
• Style: Solitaire — elegant and classic, focuses attention on the single stone.
• Finish: Platinum-plated for a bright white look similar to solid platinum at a lower cost.
• Uses: ideal as an engagement ring, an heirloom-style piece, or a high-impact cocktail ring. Moissanite’s durability supports frequent wear.
• Confirmable details: exact band width, prong count, ring weight, and available ring sizes — check the product listing or seller for those exact measurements.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Daily precautions: remove the ring for heavy manual labor, sports that risk impact, gardening, and when using harsh chemicals (especially chlorine and bleach).
2. Routine 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 around and under the stone; rinse and dry with a soft, lint‑free cloth.
3. Avoid abrasives & strong chemicals: do not use abrasive cleaners or polishing compounds that can wear the plating; avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine and chlorinated pools.
4. Ultrasonic and steam cleaners: while moissanite is generally tolerant of ultrasonic cleaning, plated jewelry and delicate prongs can be harmed. Avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaning unless a trusted jeweler confirms it’s safe for this specific piece.
5. Polishing & replating: plated finishes thin with wear. If the white finish fades or scratches, a jeweler can professionally replate the ring to restore the original appearance. Frequency depends on wear (commonly 1–3 years under normal wear).
6. Inspection & maintenance: have prongs and mountings checked at least once a year; tighten or re-tip prongs if the stone shows any movement.
7. Storage: keep the ring in its own pouch or lined compartment to avoid contact with other jewelry that could scratch the stone or band.
8. Insurance: consider insuring a high-value piece (5 ct center stone) for loss, theft or damage.

Style tips

• Let the solitaire be the focus: a single 5 carat moissanite makes a strong statement — pair it with minimal, complementary pieces (stud earrings, thin bracelets) so the ring remains the centerpiece.
• Wedding band pairing: a slim, plain platinum or platinum-plated band sits nicely next to a solitaire. For contrast, a yellow- or rose-gold band creates a warm, mixed-metal look.
• Stacking: pair with ultra-thin bands or a delicate pavé band for added sparkle without competing with the center stone.
• Occasion styling: wear it alone as an engagement or signature cocktail ring; for formal outfits, keep other jewelry understated to highlight the ring’s brilliance.
• Color coordination: white or jewel-toned clothing (black, emerald, sapphire) emphasizes moissanite’s fire; softer pastels give a romantic feel.
