Sleek confidence and intentional design
Dua Lipa’s engagement to actor Callum Turner has given us more than celebrity buzz—it’s set a new tone in engagement ring trends. Featured in her June 2025 British Vogue cover, Lipa’s striking ring is all about sleek confidence and intentional design. Here's why it's a perfect mirror to Trumpet & Horn’s love for vintage engagement rings with soul and presence.
Modern Bezel Set Meets Vintage Spirit
Her ring features a chunky 18k yellow-gold cigar band, roughly 5 mm wide, with a 2 carat to 3 carat (some experts estimate up to 4 ct) round diamond flush-set—a style long admired in Victorian antique rings.
This low-profile, semi-bezel/tension setting integrates the stone directly into the gold, giving durability and effortless everyday wear unlike high-set solitaires.
Why It Matters (and Why We Love It)
-
Timeless meets bold: Chunky bands have roots in Victorian-era jewelry and they’re enjoying a resurgence in 2025.
-
Fashion-forward simplicity: Clean, confident, and reflective of Dua’s aesthetic. Some of Trumpet & Horn’s vintage engagement rings sourced from around the world marry that same bold simplicity with heirloom charm.
-
Your story in the details: We hear Callum Turner consulted Dua’s sister and best friends during design—a reminder that intentional sourcing and emotional resonance are at T&H’s core.
Capture the Look (With a T&H Twist)
Dua’s ring proves that bold can still be timeless. That sleek flush setting, the chunky gold band, the confident simplicity—it’s giving heirloom energy with a thoroughly modern edge. At Trumpet & Horn, we’ve long championed this style: low-profile settings that sit close to the finger, weighty gold silhouettes that feel substantial, and antique or uniquely cut diamonds that bring character and quiet drama.
Think old mine cuts or antique European stones with softened edges and warm sparkle. Think baguette accents that add architectural structure. Think rich 18k gold—often in contrasting tones—to frame the stone and add depth.
It’s a look that’s equal parts clean and considered. Effortless, but never generic. And whether you’re after a true vintage piece or something made in the present with the soul of the past, we believe this kind of ring should feel as personal as it is striking.
Our inherent brand belief? That your ring should reflect your story, not trends. Whether you’re drawn to a fresh, bold look, or classic Deco or Edwardian styles, T&H rings are curated to feel timeless—and thoughtfully personal.
