Supermodel Elsa Hosk has a dazzling new accessory on her left hand. The 36-year-old Swedish beauty, best known as a Victoria’s Secret Angel and for her own fashion label, Helsa, is officially engaged to longtime partner Tom Daly. The couple, who met in New York City in 2015 and share a four-year-old daughter, Tuulikki Joan, announced their engagement on September 10, 2025, with a heartfelt Instagram post.

And what a ring it is. Hosk’s engagement sparkler is reported to be a Tiffany & Co. "Soleste," featuring an oval brilliant-cut diamond estimated to weigh between 8 and 10 carats. Surrounded by a halo of micro-pavé diamonds and set on a diamond-studded platinum band, the ring epitomizes timeless elegance with a modern edge.

Jewelry experts estimate the value anywhere from $350,000 to nearly $1 million depending on the diamond’s exact size and grading. Regardless of the figure, the piece is already being hailed as one of the standout celebrity rings of the year.

The engagement ring places Hosk among a glittering list of celebrities showing off mega-carat stones in 2025. Just this year, French Montana proposed to Sheikha Mahra with an 11.53-carat emerald-cut diamond, Travis Kelce gave Taylor Swift an antique Old Mine Brilliant estimated at up to 10 carats, and Cristiano Ronaldo presented Georgina Rodríguez with a jaw-dropping 30-plus carat diamond.

The proposal was every bit as romantic as the ring. Daly, a businessman and co-founder of the eyewear brand District Vision, transformed the couple’s newly purchased Manhattan apartment into a “Swedish wildflower garden.” Candles flickered in glass hurricanes while lush pink blooms filled the all-white space, setting the stage for Daly to drop to one knee. Hosk, radiant in a red satin blouse and maroon skirt, tearfully said "Yes."

After the intimate moment, Daly whisked Hosk off to Lucien, the East Village bistro where they shared their first date. What she thought would be a quiet dinner turned into a joyful surprise party with family and friends flown in from Los Angeles and Sweden. Guests cheered, tossed confetti, and celebrated with a traditional Swedish princess cake iced with “Congratulations Elsa & Tom.”

For Hosk and Daly, though, the focus was on a love story a decade in the making. From raising their daughter together to building careers in fashion and business, the couple has long complemented each other. Their latest chapter begins with a ring that is not only a stunning showpiece, but also a sparkling symbol of lasting commitment.
