When Dove Cameron confirmed her engagement to Måneskin frontman Damiano David on Saturday, it wasn’t just the announcement that created an internet buzz — it was the ring. Front and center in a series of Instagram posts shared with her 47.3 million followers, Cameron’s vintage-inspired engagement ring instantly positioned itself as one of the most closely watched celebrity jewels of the new year.
Cameron revealed the news with a carousel of romantic images captioned simply, “My favorite part of being alive.” In nearly every frame, the ring glints prominently as the actress-singer poses with her fiancé.
The design aligns with the growing demand for vintage-inspired engagement rings, a trend supercharged by Taylor Swift. At the center of Cameron’s ring is a substantial cushion-cut diamond — estimated at three to four carats — prized for its softly rounded corners and old-world elegance. The center stone is encircled by a full halo of smaller diamonds, amplifying its presence and brilliance. A split-shank band, lined with pavé-set diamonds, adds further sparkle and architectural interest. The metal — believed to be 18-karat white gold or platinum — keeps the look crisp and luminous, allowing the diamonds to command full attention.
The overall effect is bold, glamorous and unapologetically maximalist, yet rooted in classic design cues. It’s a style that resonates with today’s couples who want a ring that feels both timeless and fashion-forward — an aesthetic Cameron herself, now widely regarded as an emerging style icon, embodies effortlessly.
Cameron, 29, and David, 26, first met at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, reconnecting a year later and officially confirming their relationship in early 2024. After nearly two years together, they made their red-carpet debut at a pre-Grammy gala and have since shared glimpses of a deeply supportive partnership. Cameron has described their bond as healthy and grounding — sentiments echoed by David in interviews.
Professionally, both are riding high. Cameron rose to fame on Disney Channel’s Liv and Maddie and the Descendants franchise before reinventing herself as a pop artist with hits, such as “Boyfriend” and “Breakfast.” She continues to expand her career with new music and an upcoming Prime Video series. David, meanwhile, became an international star as the charismatic lead singer of Måneskin following the band’s 2021 Eurovision win and has since launched a solo career, all while establishing himself as a global fashion figure.
With Cameron’s ring now circulating across social feeds and style pages, its influence is just beginning. For couples exploring design ideas this engagement season, Cameron’s vintage-inspired ring may deserve a closer look.
