While paparazzi first captured Zoë Kravitz wearing her engagement ring from Harry Styles in April, it took months for Kravitz to give the sparkler a proper debut herself. The actress wore it to jeweler Jessica McCormack’s Summer Solstice Party in London, where photographers got clearer shots of it.
The photos changed the way jewelers saw the ring, which has a clear bezel setting and a large carat weight. “What’s particularly compelling is how the ring balances bold minimalism with old-world style,” Steph Mazuera, who founded her own namesake brand that creates made-to-order engagement rings, tells ELLE. “A diamond of this size could easily feel overt, but the bezel softens it. It aligns well with a more understated, personal approach to luxury that feels very current and very much in step with Zoë Kravitz’s aesthetic.”
Lauren Boc, founder and CEO of Hera Fine Jewelry, puts it more succinctly, calling it “a very modern version of the classic solitaire.”
Here, jewelers discuss the finer details of the actress’s ring from Styles.
Kravitz’s ring has a center cushion-cut diamond that may even be an old mine cut.
Like her friend Taylor Swift, who has her own cushion-cut diamond engagement ring, Kravitz and Styles chose a diamond cut in the timeless shape.
“Zoë’s ring appears to feature an elongated cushion-cut diamond that highlights the beauty of the stone, with a large table allowing you to see inside of the diamond,” Angie Kennedy, Zales’s VP of merchandising, says.
Mazuera agrees, adding, “The stone appears to be a cushion cut or an old mine cushion. It is slightly elongated but still retains a soft round shape that feels very romantic.”
Boc explains it is a trendy choice, noting her own customers have been requesting elongated cushion cuts, modern cuts, and antique old mine cuts. “I think this is due to a combination of factors,” she says. “Elongated cushion cuts are a natural successor to the very popular oval cut, and after Taylor Swift got engaged, a lot of people have been very interested in an old mine cut.”
The center stone appears to be between 5 and 10 carats.
While it’s tough to pinpoint the exact size based on photos, all three jewelers agree it’s a big diamond. Boc had the most conservative estimate at 5 to 6 carats, while Mazuera believes it is 5 to 7 carats.
Kennedy had the highest range of all: 8 to 10 carats, “which immediately puts it into statement territory. It’s substantial, but the clean setting keeps it feeling elevated rather than overly flashy, very in line with Zoë’s aesthetic,” the jeweler says.
It is estimated to be worth $300,000 to more than $500,000.
A big ring unsurprisingly comes with a high price tag. The exact figure is tough to pinpoint though, Mazuera explains. “It’s difficult to assign a precise value without seeing the diamond’s specifications up close. Small variations in color, clarity, cut quality, and origin can significantly impact price for a diamond in this carat range. That said, a diamond of this size and style would likely fall well into the high six-figure range.”
Boc put it at over $300,000 if it is a natural diamond. “A perfectly colorless and flawless version could even be over $500,000,” she adds.
Kennedy agrees with the higher end of Boc’s range: “Assuming it’s a natural diamond of high quality, a ring like this would start at around $500,000 or more, depending on the specifics of the stone.”
The diamond is held in a thin bezel setting rather than with prongs.
Kennedy highlights the bezel’s impact on the ring’s design, saying it “centers around a thin, minimal bezel, creating an unconventional setting that doesn’t rely on traditional prongs. Instead, the bezel rises about halfway up the center stone, providing both structure and security. Despite the diamond’s substantial size, the ring sits relatively low, giving it a more modern, wearable feel.”
The setting is minimalist, she says, and intentional: “That choice makes the diamond feel more integrated into the design, maximizing the diamond’s visibility and aesthetic value while prioritizing security and durability.”
Mazuera agrees, saying, “The bezel setting is what stands out most. It’s incredibly minimal and refined, allowing the diamond to feel bold without relying on additional detail. There’s a quiet confidence to a bezel of this scale. It prioritizes form and proportion over ornament.”

The ring sits low on her finger, so she may not be able to stack her wedding band flush.
Kravitz’s ring sits low on her finger, which enhances its comfort, Boc says, though it will likely change the way she’ll stack a wedding band with it.
“Most people prefer to elevate the diamond off the hand so a wedding band can slide underneath and stack flush against the engagement ring, but personally, I am an evangelist for low settings, especially bezels,” she says. “They’re so comfortable and durable.”
It’s a choice that makes sense given how big Kravitz’s diamond is, too. “Especially at this carat weight, elevated settings are prone to snagging and knocking on things, or tipping over on the hand because they’re top heavy,” Boc continues. “Because it’s an elongated diamond set low to the finger, there’s likely going to be a gap between the engagement ring and her future wedding band, but personally, I love that look. It’s so chic not to be very fussed about the gap, and it gives your wedding stack a lot of character.”
It is set in yellow gold.
Mazuera says the metal choice changes the vibe of the ring, too: “The diamond is set in a rich, buttery yellow gold, which gives it a sense of warmth and softness on the hand.”
The ring reflects multiple bridal jewelry trends.
Beyond the diamond’s cut, Kravitz’s entire ring is Pinterest inspiration board fodder. Kennedy explains, “This ring taps into several of the biggest shifts we’re seeing right now: larger, statement center stones paired with clean, architectural settings. There’s also a strong move toward bezel and low-profile designs, which feel more wearable and fashion-forward. Zoë sits firmly in the trendsetter category here; this is the kind of ring that will absolutely influence what we start seeing across both fine jewelry and bridal over the next season.”
She adds that the ring “effortlessly balances scale with wearability. It’s a big ring, but it doesn’t feel overdone.”
To Mazuera, the ring reflects the broader aesthetic shift to singularity. “One exceptional stone, simply set, on an otherwise undecorated band,” she says. “It moves away from more intricate, embellished designs and instead focuses on clarity and really enjoying your center stone in all its glory. There’s also a growing appreciation for bezel settings, which feel modern, slightly unconventional, and often more integrated with the wearer’s everyday life.”
