Dua Lipa has become as much a jewelry trend-setter as a fashion one. Diamonds are stacked, shifted and styled with a sharper edge, making familiar silhouettes feel fresh again. Her jewelry is a neat study in what happens when a new generation gets hold of familiar icons.
Look closer and a few signatures emerge. Diamond studs are styled into ear stacks; a natural diamond engagement ring comes set in a substantial gold band, and pavé diamonds adorn her pinky. She knows the classics and, more importantly, she knows what to do with them.
Diamond stud earrings
Where better to start than the wedding? For her marriage to Callum Turner, Lipa paired her Chanel Haute Couture gown with natural diamond studs, layered into the kind of ear stack she regularly wears. Bulgari is her favored brand as seen through her bridal jewelry, although the exact details of her wedding-day studs have yet to be officially confirmed1.
Amid all that couture, the choice of diamond studs feels telling. It’s a jewelry icon that needs little introduction, and Lipa makes the case for their versatility: a classic that works just as well stacked as it does worn alone.
Diamond pavé pinky ring
Lipa has been wearing her Shay Jewelry pavé natural diamond pinky ring for years, from the 2020 Grammys to more recent appearances on her Instagram grid.
Traditionally the territory of the signet, the pinky has become prime diamond real estate, with Rihanna, Hailey Bieber and Victoria Beckham all joining in on the action2. Six years since debuting the diamond ring on her pinky in 2020, Lipa has remained loyal to the look throughout the years of outfit changes.
Diamond tennis bracelet
A line of diamonds at the wrist is something Lipa returns to regularly. She wore a natural diamond tennis bracelet (opens in a new window) for her surprise duet with Chris Stapleton at the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards3, pairing it with a sheer black and blue lace dress. Diamond bracelets also turn up throughout her more relaxed looks.
That range is part of the appeal. From vacation dressing to a crystal-covered Versace mini, Lipa chooses diamonds as the perfect finishing touch with a variety of different styles. And few pieces move between dress codes quite as easily as the iconic tennis bracelet.
Diamond cross pendant
Lipa’s Tiffany & Co. cross pendant, set with round natural diamonds4, is another piece that regularly appears in her everyday looks. She wears it both solo and layered with other necklaces, whether she’s on vacation or walking through New York.
The cross is something of a constant; the styling around it is not. Worn solo, it needs little else. On other days, Lipa simply adds another chain. A good pendant, it seems, can handle both.
EÉRA diamond engagement ring
For her engagement ring, Lipa left the design in trusted hands. Callum Turner designed it with input from her sister Rina before Milanese jeweler EÉRA brought the idea to life. The result is a two-carat natural diamond set low into a substantial 18k gold bandv.
The proportions feel closely aligned to Lipa’s style: a classic diamond, framed by bold gold and a setting with real presence. Turner clearly knew her taste. “I’m obsessed with it. It’s so me,” Lipa told British Vogue5, revealing that he had consulted the people closest to her before settling on the design. 6
Dua Lipa’s jewelry box: decoded
Lipa’s jewelry box offers a useful lesson in making the classics your own. Use diamond studs as the anchor of an ear stack, move a pavé ring to the pinky, keep a tennis bracelet in regular rotation and wear a diamond pendant solo or layered.
Lipa has described fashion as “a tool to finding myself, and expressing myself, in a way that I could never do in words.”7 Her jewelry follows much the same principle. Start with an icon, then make the styling unmistakably yours.
