Dua Lipa's Engagement Ring: The Chunky Yellow Gold Band

Dua Lipa's engagement ring is proof that a single round diamond can feel completely modern. When she confirmed her engagement to Callum Turner in 2025, the talking point was not the size of the stone but the band: a chunky, warm yellow gold that turned a classic solitaire into a fashion statement.

It is arguably the most on-trend ring on this list, and it has driven a real surge of interest in bold yellow gold bands. Here is what it is, why the chunky gold band works so well, and how to capture the look. See more celebrity engagement rings for inspiration.

In short: Dua Lipa's engagement ring is a round-cut diamond of around two carats, set low in a chunky 18k yellow gold band. It was custom made and is reported to have cost around thirty-seven thousand dollars. Reve has recreated the look, the Dua Lipa Diamond Engagement Ring, available from $4,000.

The ring, in detail

The center stone is a classic round brilliant of roughly two carats, the most sparkling of all diamond shapes. What makes the ring feel current is the band: a substantial, rounded yellow gold cigar-style shank, much thicker than a traditional slim solitaire band, that sits boldly on the finger.

The stone is set low and clean, so the gold does much of the talking. It is minimalism and maximalism at once, and it suits the warm, old-money mood in fashion right now.

Why the chunky yellow gold band works

Wide yellow gold bands have become one of the defining engagement ring trends, and for good reason: the warm metal flatters most skin tones, the extra weight feels substantial and modern, and a bold band lets a relatively modest diamond make a big impression. If budget matters, this is a smart way to get presence on the hand.

Why the round cut works

The round brilliant is the most popular diamond shape for a reason: its 57 facets are engineered for maximum sparkle, and it suits almost every setting. Our diamond education guide explains how it compares to other shapes.

How to get the look

Choose a round diamond, keep the setting low and simple, and put it on a chunky 18k yellow gold band. Because the gold carries the design, you can prioritize a beautiful cut over sheer carat weight. In a lab-grown diamond you can have both, a larger stone and a bold band, within budget.

Is a chunky gold band right for you?

A wide gold band is comfortable, hard-wearing and very of-the-moment, but it is a stronger look than a delicate band, so it suits someone who likes a bit of presence. It also pairs beautifully with a plain gold wedding band. If you love warm metals and a modern edge, it is an easy choice.
