Parth KananiOctober 2026 · 4 min read
In short: Zendaya’s ring is a 5.02 carat cushion-cut diamond set sideways (east-west) in Jessica McCormack’s “button back” design, white gold around the stone on a yellow-gold band. It’s one of the few celebrity rings with a published weight. Value estimates range from about US$200,000 to US$500,000.

To scale
How big is it, really?
From above, it covers roughly 2.4× the area of a typical 1 carat round diamond. Drawn from the reported weight and typical proportions for the cut, so treat it as a close estimate.
The story
Why this ring gets talked about
Zendaya first wore the ring at the Golden Globes in January 2025, and the engagement to Tom Holland was reported the next day. The couple have never made a formal announcement.
The designer is London jeweller Jessica McCormack, known for designs inspired by Georgian jewellery. The “button back” setting surrounds the diamond in white gold, so the stone looks bright and white, then sits it on a warm yellow-gold band.
What it means for you: east-west settings, with the stone turned sideways across the finger, are one of the easiest ways to make a classic shape feel new. Cushions, ovals and emerald cuts all work. A sideways stone sits lower and catches less on clothes, too.
