Celebrity engagements continue to shape the trends for engagement rings and 2025 is set to be no different. With Zendaya’s east-west engagement ring catching everyone’s eye at the beginning of January, now is the turn of icon Dua Lipa.
Treating us to a shot of her chunky gypsy ring we predict (as we did weeks ago actually…see our trend journal) that gold-heavy styles will be at the forefront of stylish brides-to-be wishlists.

Chunky rings celebrate both the gemstone and the metal - allowing designers to create volume and a serious statement.
We’ve been big fans of androgynous styles here for a while, and the chunky engagement ring is just that - simple, bold, wearable and weighty.

We caught up with chunky ring extraordinaire Lucy at Minka Jewels about this trend:
"We love chunky engagement rings and have had the pleasure of making so many beautiful ones for our wonderful clients.

The wonderful thing about chunky engagement rings is that they ooze personality and they often showcase beautiful gemstones. Dua Lipa’s ring is no exception and the unique setting of the diamond is what really stands out to us."

You can choose to follow this trend exactly with a gypsy style ring - which features a bezel set stone set in a thick gold band or else explore some other styles which feature multiple stones or bolder metal shapes.
