Are princess cut diamonds cheaper than round?

Yes. Princess cut diamonds are typically 20–30% less expensive than equivalent round brilliants because less rough stone is wasted during cutting. This makes them an excellent value choice for maximising size and sparkle within a budget.

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.

Does a halo setting make the diamond look bigger?
