What is the difference between an Asscher and an emerald cut diamond?

Both are step-cut diamonds, but the Asscher is square with deeply cropped corners (almost octagonal), while the emerald is rectangular. The Asscher creates a distinctive windmill light pattern, whereas the emerald produces a hall-of-mirrors effect.

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.

Is it cheaper to buy a bridal set than separate rings?

Bridal sets are typically 10–15% more cost-effective than purchasing the engagement ring and wedding band separately, while guaranteeing a perfect visual and physical fit between the two rings.

What natural diamond engagement ring can I get for £4,000?

At MOH, under £4,000 you can choose a 0.7ct–1ct natural diamond engagement ring depending on shape and setting style. Solitaire settings offer the best value, while halo and side-stone styles add visual impact.
