Starry Stones: The Celebrity Engagement Rings Setting the Tone in 2025

When a celebrity gets engaged, it is rarely just a love story—it is also a jewellery story that captures imaginations around the world and inspires countless engagement ring choices to follow. For decades, the measure of an A-list engagement ring was its size. In 2025, however, a more nuanced picture is unfolding, driven by a renewed desire for individuality and deeper meaning.

This year’s celebrity engagement rings reveal that craftsmanship, symbolism and personality now carry as much weight as carat count. From unexpected designs by cult London jewellers to heirloom-inspired antique cuts, let’s take a closer look at the standout designs of 2025 to see why, increasingly, the way a jewel conveys the style and spirit of its owner matters more than magnitude alone.

Zendaya’s East-West Engagement Ring by Jessica McCormack

When Zendaya debuted her engagement ring at the Golden Globes in January, it immediately set the tone for engagement trends in 2025. The jewel, given by fellow actor Tom Holland, was crafted by London jeweller Jessica McCormack, whose designs bridge antique craftsmanship with contemporary wearability.

 

Centred on a cushion-cut diamond of around five carats, the ring’s east–west orientation transforms a classic silhouette into something altogether more directional. McCormack’s signature Georgian-style cut-down setting enhances the antique character of the stone, aligning it with the broader revival of old cut diamonds in the engagement market. The result is memorable and individual: a jewel that balances uniqueness with elegance, and presence with everyday practicality.

Dua Lipa’s Bombe-Style Yellow Gold and Diamond Engagement Ring

Dua Lipa’s engagement ring, given to her by the actor Callum Turner, takes us in a more sculptural direction. Believed to feature a two-carat oval diamond within a bezel setting of 18k yellow gold, the design is rumoured to come from Tiffany & Co., where Lipa has served as a house ambassador since 2021.

 

The bombe-style silhouette dispenses with delicate claws in favour of clean lines and plenty of volume. Striking and secure, the diamond is firmly clasped within a smooth border of gold, while the domed band nods to the resurgence of chunky rings in contemporary fine jewellery. Balancing statement design with day-to-day wearability, Lipa’s ring proves that presence does not always require lots of carats.

Kelly Osbourne’s Beehive-Inspired Diamond and Citrine Engagement Ring by Mouawad

The boldest celebrity engagement ring of 2025 belongs to Kelly Osbourne, designed by her fiancé Sid Wilson in collaboration with the jewellery house Mouawad. Taking inspiration from Osbourne’s nickname “honeybee”—a term of endearment used by Wilson and the late Joan Rivers—it translates personal history into a wonderfully unconventional design.

Kelly Osbourne’s bespoke engagement ring was made by Mouawad.

The design was inspired by a honeybee—Osbourne’s pet name.

At its centre lies a 2.50 carat round brilliant cut diamond, encircled by a honeycomb of white and yellow diamonds and citrines. The domed silhouette is accented with four stylised diamond bees, giving the jewel the look and feel of a cocktail ring. Moving beyond the traditional codes of engagement jewellery, it is a richly symbolic jewel that perfectly reflects Osbourne’s own eclectic style. Its scale and intricacy make it less suited to daily wear, yet as a personal emblem, it is the most original of this year’s celebrity engagement rings.

Georgina Rodriguez’s 30 Carat Oval Diamond Engagement Ring

Cristiano Ronaldo’s choice of engagement ring for Georgina Rodriguez reflects his own larger-than-life persona: an oval diamond of staggering proportions, flanked by two equally impressive side stones. Set with an oval diamond estimated at between 25 and 30 carats, outshining even Lauren Sánchez’s engagement ring from Jeff Bezos, it sent the internet into overdrive thanks to its sheer size.

 

For several years, oval diamonds have reigned as a favourite choice for an engagement ring. Yet, at this size, the design moves beyond personal ornament and tips into the realm of the majestic. Its brilliance is undeniable, yet it raises an interesting question: when does an engagement ring become more spectacle than wearable jewel? Does Rodriguez keep a more modest ring for everyday use? For me, once an engagement ring exceeds 2 carats, questions of comfort and practicality come into play, and the piece inevitably shifts into special-occasion territory.

Ronaldo broke the internet when he gave his now fiancée, Georgina Rodriguez, this enormous oval diamond engagement ring.

Taylor Swift’s Cushion Cut Diamond Engagement Ring

Fusing vintage style with star power, Taylor Swift’s engagement ring was created by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry, with input from her fiancé, Travis Kelce. The bespoke design centres on an elongated cushion-cut diamond of around 8-10 carats, bezel set on an engraved yellow gold band. Thought to be an antique Old Mine stone, its facets cut by hand, it offers a gentler, more romantic radiance than the precision-cut brilliance of a modern cushion cut.

 

The decision to work with Artifex, an independent, female-led studio recognised for its ethically sourced stones and vintage-inspired aesthetic, imbues the piece with a sense of integrity and individuality that mirrors Swift’s own values. Some observers have noted what appears to be a subtle “T” motif within the engraving, a private nod to the couple’s “TnT” nickname. Romantic in essence yet distinctly different thanks to its elongated centre stone, it’s the perfect choice for a modern icon.

Princess Sheikha Mahra’s Emerald Cut Diamond Engagement Ring

The engagement of Princess Sheikha Mahra to rapper French Montana in August united two very different worlds, and her ring embodies that fusion of tradition and hip-hop excess. Created by Mavani Fine Jewels, the star of the bespoke design is an 11.53 carat emerald cut diamond, graded E colour, VVS2 clarity by the GIA, with excellent polish and symmetry. Estimated at $1.1 million, the stone combines rarity with beauty, its elongated silhouette and hall-of-mirrors facets lending it an architectural elegance.

 

With any diamond over 10 carats, elegance is paired with a sense of theatre, with the size of the diamond transforming it into a statement in its own right. The choice of emerald cut taps into the growing trend for step cut diamonds, yet here the form is elevated to regal proportions, capturing both Sheikha Mahra’s royal heritage and her fiancé’s appetite for drama.

The centrepiece in Princess Sheikha Mahra's engagement ring is an 11.53 carat emerald cut diamond.

Elsa Hosk’s Soleste Oval Diamond Engagement Ring by Tiffany & Co.

After a decade with longtime partner Tom Daly, Swedish model and Helsa founder Elsa Hosk revealed her Tiffany & Co. engagement ring on Instagram this September. The jewel is the House’s celebrated Soleste design, set with a 5-carat oval diamond framed by a halo of round brilliants and mounted on a pavé diamond band.

 

One of Tiffany’s most recognisable engagement ring settings, the classic halo setting of Celeste is much less avant-garde than some of 2025’s more daring celebrity rings. However, its oval silhouette and glittering cluster of diamonds possess a classic appeal. Admired for their flattering proportions, oval diamonds continue to dominate the engagement ring conversation, and this design reflects why the cut has become a shape closely entwined with love today.
