Zendaya and Tom Holland have officially taken their romance to the next level, announcing their engagement in spectacular fashion. At the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, Zendaya dazzled cameras and fans alike with a striking and sizeable engagement ring on her finger, sparking widespread curiosity about its design and value.
The couple’s love story began back in 2016, when they first posted photos together during the filming of Spider-Man: Homecoming. Though initially insisting they were just friends despite their on-screen chemistry as Peter Parker and Michelle “MJ” Jones, by 2021 the pair went public with their relationship. Now both 28 years old, they are set to marry, with Holland proposing using a roughly 6-carat cushion-cut diamond, according to Lauren Grunstein, Vice President of Verstolo Fine Jewelry.
What sets Zendaya’s ring apart is its unique east-west setting, meaning the diamond is placed horizontally rather than the traditional vertical orientation. The cushion-cut stone is nestled in a two-tone bubble setting, featuring white gold or platinum prongs that surround the diamond while resting on a yellow gold band. This combination not only adds to the ring’s visual appeal but also enhances the diamond’s brilliance—the silver-colored prongs reflect light to make the stone appear whiter and brighter. Grunstein describes the design as “timeless and on-trend,” with the eight-prong setting giving it a “unique, slightly art deco vibe.”
As expected from someone known for bold style choices, Zendaya’s ring breaks the mold of traditional engagement rings. Jewelry experts predict this look will inspire many brides-to-be in 2025 who want a balance between classic elegance and distinctive details.
What’s the Price Tag?
Given Tom Holland’s estimated net worth of $25 million (according to Celebrity Net Worth), it’s reasonable to assume he chose a high-quality stone for Zendaya. Verstolo estimates that if the diamond is a natural, traditionally sourced stone, the ring’s value could range between $300,000 and $500,000.
However, if the diamond is lab-grown—a growing trend in fine jewelry—then the price drops significantly, with a similar ring costing closer to $20,000.
Rumor has it that the ring was designed by luxury jeweler Jessica McCormack, known for crafting pieces for celebrities like Hilary Duff, Reese Witherspoon, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
For those who admire Zendaya’s ring but have more modest budgets, private jewelers like Verstolo can create similar designs. A comparable ring with a natural diamond might be priced around $200,000 to $250,000, while lab-grown options could be offered for closer to $10,000.
Whether natural or lab-grown, Zendaya’s ring is certainly a show-stopping symbol of love — and a style statement likely to influence engagement ring trends this year and beyond.
