After months of quiet hints and eagle-eyed Instagram sleuths speculating, Dua Lipa has finally confirmed the news fans suspected since Christmas Eve — she’s engaged. In her June 2025 British Vogue cover story, the pop icon and fashion trailblazer revealed her engagement to British actor Callum Turner and opened up about the striking ring that’s been making subtle appearances for months.
“It’s very exciting,” Lipa told Vogue. “This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don’t know, be best friends forever—it’s a really special feeling.”
A Ring As Unique As Dua Herself
Unlike the dainty, vintage-style rings often seen on celebrity hands, Dua’s engagement ring breaks the mold. Featuring a bold round-cut diamond set on a thick 18k yellow gold band approximately 5mm wide, the design feels powerful, modern, and entirely her.
Experts estimate the center diamond to be between 2 to 4 carats. Laura Suttie, senior gemologist at Queensmith, suggested a value around $47,000 for a natural diamond, while others like jeweler Susie Saltzman believe the ring could be worth anywhere from $65,000 to $125,000, depending on quality and cut.
“It’s so me,” Lipa said. “It’s nice to know the person you’re going to spend your life with really gets you.”
Turner reportedly enlisted Dua’s sister Rina and a few close friends to help craft the custom ring—clearly aiming to reflect Dua’s iconic jewelry style: chunky gold pieces, layered chains, and bold accessories, often from Tiffany & Co., with whom she has an ongoing. partnership.
A Love Story Years in the Making
Lipa and Turner first met in 2023 through a mutual connection at The River Café in London. Their bond didn’t blossom until a serendipitous run-in a year later in Los Angeles. They made their relationship Instagram official in July 2024 with a cozy Glastonbury photo, and debuted as a couple on the red carpet at the 2025 Met Gala.
As for wedding plans? They’re taking their time.
“I want to finish my tour, Callum’s shooting, so we’re just enjoying this period,” Lipa shared with Vogue.
Sparking a New Bridal Trend
Lipa’s engagement ring is more than just a personal statement—it’s poised to reshape the bridal market. Thick gold bands and minimalist diamond settings are gaining traction among modern brides who value individuality and non-traditional elegance.
“Thicker bands are a bit of a flex,” says Suttie. “They’re often chosen to support larger stones and give a bold, lasting impression.”
Gone are the days of whisper-thin platinum bands and vintage halos. Dua Lipa is ushering in a new era—where engagement rings reflect power, confidence, and personality over convention.
