Dua Lipa’s ‘tension set’ engagement ring with a cigar band is the most girl thing ever

Congratulations are in order for singer Dua Lipa and Callum Turner as the couple recently announced their engagement, putting an end to the delicious rumours that were swirling in Tinseltown. It seems that the big hint was right in front of us for quite some time, as in her December 2024 Christmas Eve photo dump, the ‘Levitating’ singer was first spotted wearing a diamond ring, creating a frenzy situation online.

As the Albanian singer is known for her unique style, her unconventional engagement ring has helped her fly under the radar for so long. Even after flaunting her diamond in a selfie on two, her unique choice of engagement ring is now making headlines for all the right reasons.

Dissecting Dua Lipa’s engagement ring
Dua Lipa’s engagement ring features a round-cut diamond, which is considered one of the most beloved and traditional choices for engagement rings. The gem is known as ‘the tension set’, which is created by using compression to hold a centre stone in place, which further creates the illusion that the stone is suspended between two pieces of metal and is integrated within the band.



This thick band is what made the ring unique, as the singer chose a thick, golden cigar band, which is a bold design choice and is opposed to a more traditional ring band. This unique engagement ring choice came with a hefty price tag and cost around INR 1.07 crore.

Who designed Dua Lipa’s ring?
While the jeweller’s name is not yet disclosed, Callum Turner got the ring customised for his fiancée with the help of her best friends and sister. The design is so in line with Dua Lipa’s taste that she’s literally ‘obsessed’ with this ring.


Are styles like Dua Lipa’s engagement ring trending?
It is too early to set the trend, as the thick, bold cigar band is not the first choice of every woman, as it creates a striking contrast to the classic diamond shape. Her selection is definitely a fashion-forward edge that may see the light in the coming years.
