Dua Lipa, the global pop sensation known for her bold fashion choices and chart-topping hits, has recently sparked excitement in the jewellery world with her engagement ring. As a trendsetter both on and off the stage, her choice of ring is bound to influence engagement ring trends for years to come. But what exactly does her ring look like, and how does it compare to other celebrity engagement rings?
A Closer Look at Dua Lipa’s Engagement Ring
While details of Dua Lipa’s engagement ring are still emerging, we’ve put our detective skills to the test to find out as much as we can to share with you today! Dua shared with her Instagram followers a glimpse of this chunky gold band with large white diamond.
Rumour has it this ring was crafted by legendary jewellery house Tiffany and Co but that is yet to be confirmed. Based on estimates, experts believe the ring to be around 3 carats that could fetch a £25,000 price tag!
The Bolder The Better
In an era of minimalist claw-set stones and fine shanks, are bolder bands becoming the new go-to? Dua Lipa’s stunning chunky gold band reminds us of rings from couple different by-gone eras from Victorians to the maximalist 80s!
Chunky bands are definitely on the rise for 2025, with sculptural bands becoming the go-to style for cool girl engagement rings that want something bolder than a traditional delicate engagement ring.
Antique and Vintage Designs
Victorian Era
Many Victorian rings can be on the more substantial side, often featuring large gemstones such as sapphires, rubies, and diamonds, set in thick, ornate bands. This kind of style was designed to make a statement—reflecting the era’s fascination with symbolism, romance, and status. This 1900s 2.38 carat diamond and 18 carat yellow gold solitaire ring is the perfect ‘Dua Dupe’ for anyone looking for that chunky ring and almost identical diamond size!
Gypsy Rings
Some have noticed the similarities of Dua’s engagement ring to a Gypsy ring. A Gypsy ring typically has a thicker band where the gemstone is embedded within the band, allowing for a smooth surface with the gemstone spearing to sit flush. This style of ring was popular in the Victorian era, used by many as betrothal rings due to the protective style – perfect for everyday!
80s Maximalism
The 1980s were characterised by their excess and opulence, evident in the jewellery trends of the time. Solid and substantial gold metalwork created bold, chunky and oversized looks that made a statement with any outfit!
