The oval cut combines the brilliance of a round with an elongated silhouette that faces up approximately 10% larger than a round of the same carat weight. Its shape creates the illusion of longer, more slender fingers, making it one of the most flattering diamond shapes available. The oval has surged in popularity, becoming the second most requested shape for engagement rings.

Warm, timeless, and universally flattering. 18K yellow gold contains 75% pure gold and has a rich, warm tone that has been the traditional choice for fine jewellery and engagement rings for centuries. Its natural colour will never fade or require re-plating.

Under £5,000, you have access to MOH's complete range — from 2ct lab-grown showpieces to 1ct natural diamond engagement rings in premium settings. This is the price point where you can have exactly the ring you envision.
