Zendaya’s diamond engagement ring has a hidden meaning

Zendaya and Tom Holland are a power couple, and the engagement ring that Holland, 28, gave his longtime girlfriend is a shining reminder that they really are relationship goals.

When Holland popped the question over the holidays, he proposed with a stunning stone rumored to have been made by a famous London jeweler Jessica McCormackwho thinks Madonna, Zoe Kravitz and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley among her many A-list clients.

A Georgian-style cushion-cut diamond set in 18k white and yellow gold is one of McCormack’s signature pieces. It’s (as you’d expect from such a large diamond) asking price, but experts have estimated it to fetch six figures. However, the meaning behind it is priceless.

The east and west rings feature an elongated diamond with a horizontal right-to-left arrangement instead of the traditional up-down arrangement. The design is said to symbolize the couple’s equal partnership and commitment. McCormack describes it as “a literal twist on classic solitaire” and calls it “the perfect modern engagement ring…loved by cool brides for its pared-down, unconventional aesthetic.”

Zendaya couldn’t be happier with how Tom Holland’s proposal turned out. “Tom thought the holidays were the best time to propose in a very low-key way,” a source told Us Weekly shortly after the couple’s engagement broke on Monday, Jan. 6. “She didn’t want anything excessive.” A day before us (…)

The perfect balance of trendy and timeless, the East-West ring is made for women who want their jewelry to stand out. Zendaya, 28, certainly proved that spotted with a ring on what finger and all, but turn off red carpet on Golden Globewhich took place on Sunday, January 5.

The Euphoria star arrived solo as usual, which Holland previously explained was a deliberate move on his part to keep the spotlight on his bride-to-be. “(It’s) not my moment, it’s her moment, and if we go together, it’s about us,” he said in the cover for Men’s health published on January 2.

After all, Zendaya has captured Holland’s unmistakable ‘riss’ (aka ‘charisma’) in video interview with BuzzFeed back in February 2024. “I’m more shy and kind of quiet, so it takes a little longer to bring me out of my shell. But he’s great at just talking to people and getting to know them… He’s just naturally very good at it.”

Not only does Holland complement Zendaya perfectly, conversely, his choice of East-West Jessica McCormack engagement ring is an endearing representation of a relationship between two equal partners who mutually respect and love each other. A reliable Hollywood couple indeed.
