Dua Lipa reveals all about her unconventional engagement ring

Dua Lipa opens up about her engagement ring, custom-made by Callum Turner

Dua Lipa's engagement ring has sparked excitement—and for good reason.

After months of subtle hints on social media, the icon finally confirmed her engagement to actor Callum Turner in a candid interview with British Vogue on June 12, 2025. The couple, who have been romantically linked since January 2024, are now officially planning their future together.

Lipa expressed her excitement about the engagement, saying, "Yeah, we’re engaged. It’s very exciting."

She also revealed the story behind their relationship, which started in a charmingly serendipitous way. T

he two first met at London’s renowned River Cafe, and after a brief encounter, Turner reappeared in Lipa’s life a year later in Los Angeles. "It was that really hot guy from The River Cafe," she reminisced, before adding that their connection felt destined.

“I just knew we were meant to be,” Lipa said. “This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just... be best friends forever—it’s a really special feeling.”

The Engagement Ring: A Bold Statement

Lipa’s ring is a unique departure from the delicate solitaires seen on other celebrities.

The diamond is set on a wide cigar band, creating a bold and modern statement. According to New York-based engagement ring designer Susie Saltzman, the ring features either a round brilliant or old European cut diamond, set in a semi-bezel or tension style.

The diamond is "set low, nearly flush with the wide gold band," which gives it a distinctive edge compared to traditional designs. Saltzman described the ring as a "departure from the fancy shaped solitaire diamonds on super delicate bands" that have been trending for years.

Lipa has said she is "obsessed" with the design, revealing that it truly feels like her. “It’s nice to know the person that you’re going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well,” she shared with British Vogue.

The Price Tag: A High-Quality Investment

The ring has an impressive price tag, with Saltzman estimating it to be between $65,000 and $125,000, depending on the diamond’s size and quality.

However, experts like Lorel Diamonds engagement specialist Laura Taylor suggest that the ring could be worth between $200,000 and $270,000, as the diamond may be closer to 3-4 carats.

Whether natural or not, it’s clear this custom-made piece is not only a symbol of their love but a stunning, high-value investment.

A Design Full of Thoughtful Details

Turner took extra steps to ensure the ring reflected Lipa's personality, consulting with her sister and friends for help in the design process.

“I’m obsessed with it. It’s so me," Lipa confessed, adding that the custom design felt like a perfect match for her style and personality.

No Rush to Plan the Wedding

While Lipa and Turner are basking in their engagement, they're not rushing into wedding plans just yet.

The couple is focused on their careers—Lipa is wrapping up her ongoing tour while Turner is busy with his acting commitments.

"We’re just enjoying this period," Lipa said, emphasizing that she’s never been someone who had a set vision of what her wedding would look like.

However, now that she’s engaged, the reality of wedding planning is starting to settle in. “All of a sudden, I’m like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'" she mused.

As the couple enjoys this exciting time, it’s clear that their love is grounded in understanding, fun, and an undeniable connection. Fans can’t wait to see how their relationship continues to unfold.
