Pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo has fans abuzz following a recent Los Angeles sighting. Photos show her walking hand-in-hand with longtime partner Louis Partridge. And she sported a bold diamond ring on her left ring finger, traditionally symbolic of an engagement. Industry insiders quickly weighed in. The square-shaped diamond ring has an estimated value between $55,000 and $70,000. And Neil Dutta, Managing Director of jeweler Angelic Diamonds, told Showbiz Cheat Sheet that Rodrigo’s rock could “spark a wave of interest” among others who are in the market for an engagement ring.

Neil Dutta of Angelic Diamonds estimates Olivia Rodrigo’s alleged engagement ring to be between 3.5 and 4 carats

The speculation around Olivia Rodrigo’s ring intensified after paparazzi photos showed it gleaming under the California sun. Its bold, clean lines and substantial size make it an undeniable statement piece. Jewelry specialists suggest the design, a square or rectangular step-cut diamond set in a minimalist band, evokes both modern sophistication and vintage glamour. This combination is currently trending among celebrity engagements.

Neil Dutta, Managing Director of Angelic Diamonds, estimated the size of Rodrigo’s diamond. He also noted that the rock has “vintage appeal.” The plain band allows the focus to remain on the diamond’s “size and clarity.”

“From the images, the ring appears to feature a sizeable emerald or radiant-cut diamond, estimated at 3.5 to 4 carats,” Dutta said in a statement. “This cut is favored for its clean lines and vintage appeal, with the stone set on a plain platinum or white gold band to keep the focus firmly on its size and clarity. Based on the cut, carat weight, and whether the diamond is natural or lab-grown, it would likely be valued between £45,000 to £55,000 ($55,000 to $70,000). With its eye-catching size and classic setting, it’s exactly the kind of ring designed to get people talking.”

Will Olivia Rodrigo’s engagement ring influence a new trend amongst younger buyers?

Olivia Rodrigo is a huge name in the pop world — especially for younger listeners. Her audience is a mix of Gen Z fans who see her as a coming-of-age voice and older listeners drawn to her songwriting. Her concerts often feel like communal therapy sessions. Teens belt every lyric with cathartic intensity while parents and millennial siblings sway along. And now that the Gen Z fans are approaching their 20s and 30s, they may look to Rodrigo for ring inspiration.

“Olivia’s ring could easily spark a wave of interest among younger buyers,” Neil Dutta confirmed to Showbiz Cheat Sheet. “When someone famous in their early 20s chooses a sizeable emerald or radiant cut on a simple band, it shows you can go classic without it feeling too traditional.”

Dutta noted he’s seen these trends happen before in the jewelry world.

“I’ve seen it happen before — when Hailey Bieber revealed her oval solitaire, we had a noticeable increase in people in their 20s asking for that exact shape,” he stated. “The same happened when Ariana Grande unveiled her pearl and diamond engagement ring — we suddenly had customers asking about non-conventional stone combinations.”

“High-profile designs like Olivia Rodrigo’s put a style on the radar for people who might not have considered it before, and it often starts a conversation about how they can adapt the look to make it their own,” Dutta continued.

Neil Dutta said the engagement ring ‘leans timeless’

Olivia Rodrigo’s ring is a show-stopper. But it also has “timeless” qualities that will make her fans want to copy her look.

“This is a design that leans timeless, but it’s having a moment because it aligns with current preferences for clean, minimal settings,” Neil Dutta continued. “Emerald and radiant cuts have a strong heritage — they became popular in the early 20th century for their symmetry and elegance, and they’ve never really fallen out of favor.”

“A plain platinum or white gold band keeps the attention on the diamond, which appeals to people who want impact without excess decoration,” he continued.

“The size of Olivia’s stone is what grabs attention, but the underlying design is something jewelers have been creating for generations, and it still feels just as relevant today,” Dutta explained. “That’s the mark of a classic that lasts.”

Fans still have to wait for Rodrigo to confirm an engagement before they get too excited. However, we look forward to getting a closer look if it does signify a future wedding for the pop star.
