Key Facts

The jewelry piece spotted on Zendaya’s ring finger appears to be from U.K. jeweler Jessica McCormack, according to multiple outlets, which cited the 5.02 Carat East-West Cushion Diamond Button Back Ring listed on McCormack’s website.

The ring’s description says it features an east-west cushion diamond set within a Georgian style cut-down setting in 18-carat white gold and yellow gold, though its price is not publicly available on the website, which says each of the stones it sells are natural.

McCormack, a renowned jewelry designer with actress Zoë Kravitz as her brand’s first ambassador, did not immediately respond to Forbes’ request for the ring’s price, but experts provided Elle with estimations ranging from $120,000 to $500,000, specifically noting its east-west setting, vintage diamond cut and high-end clarity.

Zendaya and Holland, who went public with their relationship in 2021, have not officially announced their engagement.

When asked if she was engaged, Zendaya “kept showing her ring, smiled coyly and shrugged her shoulders mysteriously,” according to a Los Angeles Times reporter in attendance at the Golden Globes.

Although the actors’ engagement is not yet official, Zendaya’s choice to wear the ring Sunday night sparked excitement and rumors, as she primarily dons Bulgari jewelry as one of the brand’s key ambassadors and did not have the ring mentioned in a Bulgari Instagram post about her Golden Globes look.

How Does Zendaya’s Ring Compare To Other Celebrity Engagement Rings?

Zendaya’s ring has relatively lofty estimations in terms of its price similar to recent engagement rings received by fellow celebrities. Zoë Kravitz was given a cushion-cut diamond with a bezel setting sold by Jessica McCormack that was worth an estimated $550,000, according to Vogue, which also noted Scarlett Johansson’s more than $400,000 engagement ring and Selena Gomez’s engagement ring (estimated $175,000). Engagement rings worth more than $1 million include Mariah Carey’s 35-carat diamond engagement ring ($10 million) from Wilfredo Rosado, Jennifer Lopez’s green square-shaped ring ($5 million) from Ilan Portugali, and Katy Perry’s ring featuring a ruby gem ($5 million) from Delphi Antiques, according to The Knot.

Surprising Fact

Late actress Grace Kelly, who married Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956, boasted one of the most expensive engagement rings of all time with a ring priced at $4 million in the 50s, according to Brides.com, which added the ring’s modern day worth is around a whopping $38.8 million. Former First Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis also received an incredibly pricey ring from Greek-Argentine business magnate Aristotle Onassis, who gave her a 40-carat ring valued at an estimated $20 million today.

Key Background

Zendaya and Holland met and co-starred in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Spider-Man” movie series as their characters’ love interests, and went official with their off-screen relationship in 2021 after years of dating rumors. Zendaya once denied engagement rumors about her and Holland in 2023 after social media took note of an Instagram post she made in which she could be seen wearing a ring on her left hand. The actress said she made the post for her hat, which featured a throwback Golden State Warriors logo. Zendaya and Holland have largely kept their relationship’s details private from the public eye. Holland told The Hollywood Reporter in 2023 his relationship with Zendaya “is something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible,” adding, “We don’t think that we owe it to anyone, it’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers.”
