Question 1

Are natural diamonds worth more than lab-grown?

Accepted Answer

Natural diamonds have historically retained 30–50% of their retail value on the secondary market, while lab-grown diamonds have a more limited resale market. For those who value rarity and long-term value retention, natural diamonds remain the traditional choice.

Question 2

How are natural diamonds certified?

Accepted Answer

At MOH, natural diamonds are certified by GIA, IGI, or HRD — the world's most respected gemological laboratories. Each certificate includes the full 4Cs grading (cut, colour, clarity, carat weight), measurements, and a unique identification number.

Question 3

What is the difference between a cushion cut and a round diamond?

Accepted Answer

A cushion cut has rounded corners and larger facets that create broad, romantic light flashes, while a round brilliant has precise faceting for maximum sparkle. Cushion cuts tend to retain more colour, so choosing a higher colour grade (G or above) ensures a white appearance.

Question 4

Are cushion cut diamonds good value?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cushion cut diamonds are typically 15–25% less expensive than round brilliants of the same carat weight, offering excellent value for those who love the vintage aesthetic.

Question 5

How often does white gold need re-plating?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

Does a halo setting make the diamond look bigger?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A halo frame of small diamonds can make the centre stone appear 20–30% larger than its actual carat weight. This makes halo settings an excellent choice for maximising visual impact within a budget.
