NEED TO KNOW
Dua Lipa is “obsessed” with her engagement ring from fiancé Callum Turner.
The “Levitating” singer and the British actor have been romantically linked since January 2024, when they were spotted at an afterparty following the London premiere of Apple TV+ series Masters of the Air. After months of fueling engagement rumors with glimpses of a sparkling ring on social media, Lipa confirmed the news during a conversation with British Vogue that was published on June 12.
“Yeah, we’re engaged,” she said. “It’s very exciting.”
Lipa also opened up more about the early days of their relationship, explaining that they met after being introduced by the cofounder of The River Cafe, a restaurant in London where they both happened to be dining one day. One year after their brief encounter, Turner walked into a Los Angeles restaurant where Lipa was, and she recalled thinking, “Oh, it’s that really hot guy from The River Cafe.”
Between the chance encounters and the pair realizing they were “reading the same book,” Lipa began to think they were “one thousand percent” destined to be together.
Lipa continued reflecting on this new chapter in their romance, saying, “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.”
From the design to their wedding plans, here’s everything to know about Dua Lipa’s engagement ring.
Lipa’s diamond engagement ring features a wide cigar band

Lipa’s diamond ring is set on a wide cigar band. In January 2025, New York-based engagement ring designer Susie Saltzman spoke to BRIDES and described the ring as “most likely a round brilliant or old European cut that is set into the band.”
She continued, “The diamond appears to be semi-bezel set or tension set — possibly even fully bezel set.”
Saltzman added that the diamond is “set low, nearly flush with the wide gold band,” which she explained is “a departure from the statement, fancy shaped solitaire diamonds on super delicate bands that we have been seeing on celebrities for the past five-plus years.”
The ring is estimated to cost between $65,000 and $270,000

Lipa’s engagement ring has a high price tag. During her conversation with BRIDES, Saltzman estimated that the ring costs between $65,000 and $125,000, depending on the diamond shape, carat weight and quality.
She estimated that it’s a “high quality natural diamond” that is likely to be “over two and a half or three carats.”
However, according to Lorel Diamonds engagement ring specialist Laura Taylor, the ring appears to be closer to 3 to 4 carats — and comes with an even heftier price than Saltzman predicted.
Taylor estimates the ring to be around $200,000 to $270,000, again depending on whether the diamond is natural.
Lipa shared glimpses of the ring online for months before confirming her engagement

Engagement rumors began swirling in December 2024 when Lipa flashed what appeared to be a diamond ring on her left hand in a Christmas Eve Instagram carousel.
Just days before the British Vogue story in which she confirmed the news was published, Lipa shared an affectionate photo on Instagram that again showed off the sparkling diamond ring.
“That’s amoreeee… ♡,” she captioned the post.
Turner consulted Lipa’s sister and friends for help designing the ring

As Lipa shared in her conversation with British Vogue, Turner had the ring custom-made with some insight from her best friends and sister.
“I’m obsessed with it. It’s so me,” she said. “It’s nice to know the person that you’re going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.”
Lipa and Turner are “enjoying” the engagement period

Although they are engaged, Lipa and Turner aren’t throwing themselves into wedding planning just yet, as she shared with British Vogue.
“I want to finish my tour, Callum’s shooting, so we’re just enjoying this period,” the singer said, adding that she now understands “the weight” of an engagement.
“I’ve never been someone who’s really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be,” Lipa said. “All of a sudden I’m like: “Oh, what would I wear?’ ”
