Are princess cut diamonds cheaper than round?

How often does white gold need re-plating?

White gold typically needs rhodium re-plating every 12–24 months, depending on wear. At MOH, we offer complimentary re-plating as part of our lifetime aftercare service.

The princess cut is a square or near-square brilliant-cut diamond that offers exceptional sparkle in a modern, geometric profile. It retains more rough diamond weight during cutting than a round brilliant, making it a strong value proposition without sacrificing fire or brilliance.

Bright, modern elegance at an accessible price. 18K white gold contains 75% pure gold alloyed with white metals such as palladium or silver, finished with a rhodium plating for a bright, reflective white appearance. It offers the elegant look of platinum with a lighter weight.
