Question 1

Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds in every scientific sense — they have the same chemical composition (pure carbon), crystal structure, hardness, and optical properties as mined diamonds. The FTC confirmed in 2018 that lab-grown diamonds are genuine diamonds.

Question 2

How much cheaper are lab-grown diamond engagement rings?

Accepted Answer

Lab-grown diamonds are typically 60–80% less expensive than equivalent natural diamonds. A 1ct F/VS1 lab-grown diamond engagement ring at MOH starts from approximately £1,200–£1,800, compared to £3,500–£5,500 for an equivalent natural diamond ring.

Question 3

Are radiant cut diamonds sparkly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Radiant cut diamonds use brilliant-style faceting that produces exceptional fire and sparkle — more than emerald or Asscher cuts. They combine the geometric elegance of a step cut with the light performance of a brilliant cut.

Question 4

Is rose gold suitable for everyday wear?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rose gold is one of the most durable gold alloys because copper strengthens the metal. It is well suited to everyday wear and its colour will not fade over time.

Question 5

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.

Question 6

Is £10,000 a good budget for an engagement ring?

Accepted Answer

A £10,000 budget provides access to the full range of natural diamond engagement rings at MOH, including 1.5ct+ stones in premium settings. You can afford to prioritise cut quality, which is the most important factor in a diamond's beauty.
