Zendaya is a brand ambassador for the luxury house Bulgari and is regularly spotted wearing their jewelry. While her necklace, earrings and right-hand ring on the red carpet were indeed credited to the Italian brand, the ring on her left was not. An anonymous tip to DeuxMoi alleged that the ring is instead from Jessica McCormack, a London-based jewelry designer. Though the brand has not yet been confirmed, the ring does happen to feature an east-west diamond, based on photos from the Golden Globes, similar to one on the Jessica McCormack website.
While few details about the ring have been confirmed, experts are already beginning to estimate the value. Based off the photos, UK jeweler Steven Stone wrote that the ring featured a “six carat cushion-cut diamond,” estimating it to be $300,000 and adding, “I wouldn’t be surprised if it was worth even more.” Lorel Diamond’s Ring Specialist Laura Taylor echoes this, writing, “The diamond appears to be of excellent quality, likely VVS clarity and near-colorless (D-F), which would place the ring’s value at approximately £300,000-£400,000 ($370,000-$500,000), depending on whether it is natural or lab-grown.”

Some experts also think the ring could be part of a larger trend. “Zendaya’s ring appears to feature a prominent cushion-cut diamond as the center stone, combining vintage charm and modern brilliance,” Diamonds Factory Jewelry Expert Ella Citron-Thompkins wrote in an email sharing commentary. “There has been on average 4,000 monthly searches for ‘cushion-cut diamond’ in the UK, with searches being up 57% in the past month. I forecast that these cushion cuts will be a huge hit in 2025, as more and more people will want to emulate Zendaya’s style. I have no doubt Zendaya’s ring is a popular choice amongst those purchasing a diamond ring. A cushion-cut diamond has a versatile blend of classic elegance and modern sparkle, featuring a timeless design and romantic shape.”
