Blink Twice at Zoë Kravitz’s Engagement Ring
As much as their relationship is full of public charm, the couple has kept many aspects of their private life, well, private. However, one piece of jewellery has captured attention across the world: Zoë Kravitz’s engagement ring. Known for her impeccable fashion sense and trend-transcending style, Zoë’s engagement to Channing Tatum not only made headlines but ignited a jewellery frenzy, with fans eager to get a closer look at her gorgeously grunge engagement ring.
Watching Magic Strike
As one of Hollywood’s hottest couples, all eyes have been on Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz for a while. Since their relationship became public in 2021, they’ve delighted us with a steady stream of heartwarming moments.
Who could forget that iconic snapshot of Zoë riding on the back of Tatum’s bike in New York City, beaming like two carefree kids in love? Or the candid photo of her laughing hysterically over iced coffee at something Channing said?
We’ve seen his movies, we know how funny that man is. A highlight came during Halloween 2023 when the couple dressed as Rosemary and her baby from Rosemary’s Baby, a playful and cheeky nod to spooky season that felt uniquely them.

Are You Gonna Go My Way?
Actor, Catwoman, film director and daughter of entertainment royalty (Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet, plus stepdad Jason Momoa), Zoë Kravitz is truly sensational human being, so it’s no wonder her engagement reflects that.
The perfect celebration of her one-of-a-kind style, classic but with an unexpected twist, the ring features a jaw-dropping 7ct elongated cushion cut diamond solitaire, set in an 18ct yellow gold band with a blackened white gold bezel setting. The design is as striking as it is sophisticated, blending a classic feel with a bold, modern edge.
The standout feature of Kravitz’s ring is the blackened white gold bezel setting, a detail that brings a rock ‘n’ roll twist to the traditional solitaire ring. The bezel setting encases the diamond securely while the black rhodium-plated white gold offers a striking contrast to the diamond’s brilliance, adding depth and dimension to the design. A great choice by the charming, talented, dance sensation that is Channing Tatum.
What Is Blackened White Gold?
Blackened white gold, also known as black rhodium-plated gold, is a design technique that involves applying a thin layer of black rhodium onto white gold, giving it a dark, luxurious finish. This contrast elevates the diamond’s sparkle and creates a frighteningly beautiful effect.
If you decide to get inspired by this effect, bear in mind that, while black rhodium plating is durable, it may wear off over time. To maintain the blackened finish, it’s recommended to avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and abrasive materials and to reapply the black rhodium as necessary to preserve its dark, bold beauty.

Invoking the Beauty of Black Opium
The movie star’s engagement ring features an elongated cushion cut diamond, a shape that combines romantic vintage appeal with modern sophistication. The cushion cut, with its soft, rounded corners and large facets, is known for its brilliant sparkle, much like Channing’s eyes. It’s a perfect choice for those who want something super distinctive but still rooted in tradition.
One of the key considerations when choosing a cushion cut diamond is colour. Because of its large facets, this cut can show more colour than other shapes. If you’re opting for a platinum or white gold setting, consider a higher colour grade (G or higher) to ensure maximum iciness. However, if you prefer a yellow or rose gold band, diamonds with slightly lower colour grades (I or J) can beautifully complement the warmth of the metal.
The elongated cushion cut, like the one in Ms. Kravitz’s ring, offers a more unique silhouette compared to the square cushion cuts typically seen. Its length-to-width ratio, adds a fresh twist to a classic design, making it perfect for someone with a unique sense of style, just like Zoë.
