Jewelry trend watchers say the elongated cushion-cut diamond in Zoë Kravitz’s Georgian-style engagement ring could start a wave of look-alikes in one direction.

Page Six reported Kravitz’s engagement to pop star Harry Styles last week, and an anonymous source confirmed it to People magazine on Monday. Kravitz was previously engaged to actor Channing Tatum, and that ring also had an elongated cushion diamond set in a Georgian-style button-back bezel setting—though the actress’ new engagement ring is overall sleeker and more modern.

Kravitz’s other earlier engagement ring, from ex-husband Karl Glusman, was an antique style too. When Kravitz and Glusman’s engagement became public in 2019 (they would divorce in 2021), fashion blog Who What Wear reported that her ring was a Georgian half loop, from around 1800, with more than 2.5 cts. rose-cut diamonds collet-set in silver-topped gold.

Kravitz’s diamond from Styles looks to be an 8 to 12 ct. natural stone, according to the Clear Cut founder Olivia Landau, who estimates it could run anywhere from $200,000 to $1 million. Set in yellow gold, the diamond is an antique cushion cut—and Landau says both the choice of metal and diamond shape have become popular with brides.

“Elongated cushion-cut diamonds have been trending for the past couple years. She is also leaning into the yellow gold bezel trend that we have seen many brides opt for over a more traditional solitaire style,” says Landau.

So who is the designer? No one has stepped forward—yet. Kravitz is a brand ambassador for Jessica McCormack and appears throughout the jewelry brand’s marketing for its Rush Hour collection. McCormack’s team did not respond to requests asking whether she designed the engagement ring.

Sara Spence, cofounder of Kate & Kole, tells JCK that Kravitz’s vintage-meets-modern aesthetic underscores a growing trend in bridal jewelry. “What’s so compelling about Zoe’s ring is that it feels genuinely personal—it doesn’t look like it was chosen from a case, it looks like it was chosen for her. That’s what brides are responding to right now,” says Spence.

“There’s a real appetite for something that feels considered and a little unexpected, whether that’s an unusual stone shape, a distinctive setting, or a combination of both,” she adds.

“This has been a really playful season—champagne and chocolate tones, fun shapes like hearts, old-mine cuts, elongated cushions, and east/west settings are all a nice way to create something unique.”

As for another feature of Kravitz’s ring, Spence says, “The bezel has been a really popular choice for us over the last few years—it’s usually what people gravitate toward when they want something that feels a little more unique and less expected.

“There’s lots of interest in chunkier signet styles and bezel settings where the gold is a real feature,” she says. “We’re seeing people start to challenge traditional setting styles and have more fun with proportions and design.”

Any celebrity jewelry can bring opportunity to the industry, notes Spence. “When a high-profile ring gets announced, it opens up a whole new dialogue with clients—suddenly people are coming in with references they might not have had before, asking about cuts or settings they’d never considered,” she says.

“It’s exciting because it pushes the conversation forward. It also shows what’s possible. A lot of people come in with quite a fixed idea of what an engagement ring looks like, and then they see something like this and it shifts things completely.”

Heavenly London creative director Madeleine Sangster says Kravitz’s ring represents a shift away from ultra-delicate bridal styles.

“The scale of the stone paired with what looks like a thicker, more sculptural gold band gives it a much more grounded, modern feel. I love that it sits lower on the hand, too—it makes it feel wearable despite the size,” Sangster says. “It’s confident without being overly flashy, and that balance is exactly where I see modern engagement rings going.”

Rachel Boston, founder and designer of Rachel Boston Jewellery, agrees. “The thing that speaks to me most is how the stone sits within the band. Pairing a large, elongated diamond with a thicker, more sculptural setting gives the ring a real sense of presence while still feeling clean and refined,” says Boston.

Eliza Walter, founder of jewelry brand Lylie, also commented on the contrast between the white diamond and the yellow gold setting: “A large, elongated diamond paired with a gold bezel or Georgian cut-back setting feels both impactful and understated at the same time.

“We’re seeing more clients drawn to this balance, where the focus remains on the stone itself, but the overall design feels light, wearable and considered, rather than heavy or overly traditional,” Walter says.

Lisa Ingram, vice president of merchandising for Kay Jewelers, assessed Kravitz’s ring and its place within current engagement ring trends.

“It appears to be a radiant or cushion cut about 10 carats in size,” Ingram said in a statement. “From what we can see, the stone sits low in the basket for a sleek, modern profile. It is adorned with what appears to be a thin gold bezel. It’s finished on a thin, minimalist yellow gold band.

“Assuming a natural diamond with strong grading across the 4Cs, we’d estimate this ring to be in the $300,300 to $500,000 range,” Ingram added. “The ring very much resonates with what we’re seeing with today’s consumer. More and more people are opting for an elegant and modern take on the classic solitaire that features a large center stone in a fancy-cut, set atop a delicate band.”
