A lab-grown solitaire is the purest expression of modern engagement ring design — timeless simplicity with intelligent value. The solitaire setting puts all focus on the diamond, and lab-grown savings let you choose a larger, higher-quality centre stone.

The Asscher cut is a square step-cut diamond with deeply cropped corners that create an almost octagonal outline. Its concentric square facets draw the eye deep into the stone, producing a mesmerising windmill pattern. Invented in 1902 by the Asscher Brothers, it remains one of the most distinctive and collectible diamond shapes.

An engagement ring does not need to cost a fortune to be meaningful. Under £1,000, lab-grown diamond rings offer genuine sparkle and certified quality at an accessible price. At MOH, every ring in this range is handcrafted in Hatton Garden with the same care as our most expensive pieces.

Lab-grown solitaires let you invest in a premium centre stone rather than an elaborate setting.
