She was one of the stars of the night. One of the brightest and most talked about. We’re talking about the ring that Zendaya wore at the Golden Globes and that sparked all kinds of speculation: Was it an engagement ring from her boyfriend, the actor and Spider-Man co-star Tom Holland? Where did it come from, what was its price, what were its peculiarities?
The investigation: the value of the ring
According to several media outlets, the piece of jewelry could be from British jeweler Jessica McCormack. It is said to be the 5.02-carat East-West Cushion Diamond Button Back ring that appears on McCormack’s website.
According to the ring’s description, it is an east-west cushion diamond set in a Georgian-style setting in 18-carat white and yellow gold, although its price is not publicly available on the website, which states that all the stones it sells are natural.
McCormack, a renowned jewelry designer who counts actress Zoë Kravitz as her first brand ambassador, did not immediately respond to Forbes’ request for a price for the ring, but experts provided Elle with estimates ranging from $120,000 to $500,000, specifically highlighting its east-west setting, the diamond’s vintage cut, and its high-end clarity.
Zendaya and Holland, who went public with their relationship in 2021, have not officially announced their engagement.
Are Zendaya and Tom Holland engaged?
According to a Los Angeles Times reporter who attended the Golden Globes, when reporters asked Zendaya if she was engaged, she «kept flashing her ring, smiled coyly and shrugged mysteriously.»
Although the actors’ engagement is not yet official, Zendaya’s choice to wear the ring on Sunday night sparked excitement and rumors. The actress primarily wears Bulgari jewelry as she is one of the brand’s main ambassadors; an Instagram post from Bulgari did not mention the ring when discussing her look at the Golden Globes.
