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.

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 natural diamond engagement ring can I get for £4,000?

At MOH, under £4,000 you can choose a 0.7ct–1ct natural diamond engagement ring depending on shape and setting style. Solitaire settings offer the best value, while halo and side-stone styles add visual impact.

Princess Cut Side Stone Engagement Rings Under £4,000

Handcrafted · Hatton Garden, London

The princess cut is a square or near-square brilliant-cut diamond that offers exceptional sparkle in a modern, geometric profile. It retains more rough diamond weight during cutting than a round brilliant, making it a strong value proposition without sacrificing fire or brilliance.

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.
