Do marquise diamonds look bigger than round diamonds?

Yes. The marquise has the largest face-up area of any diamond shape, making a 1ct marquise appear 15–20% larger than a 1ct round. If visual size is your priority, the marquise delivers the most dramatic impact per carat.

What is the difference between side stone and halo engagement rings?

Side stone rings have small diamonds along the band but not surrounding the centre stone. Halo rings have a complete frame of diamonds around the centre. Side stone designs offer extra sparkle with a cleaner, more streamlined look.

What engagement ring can I get for under £2,000?

At MOH, under £2,000 you can find a 1ct lab-grown diamond engagement ring in a variety of styles — solitaire, halo, or side stone — in your choice of 18K gold or platinum. Every ring is handcrafted in Hatton Garden with IGI-certified diamonds.

Marquise Side Stone Engagement Rings Under £2,000

2 handcrafted designs · Hatton Garden, London

The marquise cut features a distinctive elongated shape with pointed ends, offering the largest face-up area of any diamond shape for its carat weight. Its boat-like silhouette creates a dramatic, regal presence on the finger and makes the stone appear significantly larger than other shapes of the same weight.

Side stone settings feature smaller diamonds set along the band, adding sparkle and visual interest that draws the eye from the centre stone outward. Popular configurations include pavé, channel-set, and shared-prong designs.
