Did Samantha Ruth Prabhu Just Introduce the Most Mysterious Wedding Ring of 2025?
A rare portrait-cut diamond by an elusive Greek jeweller ended up outing the timeline before she did.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s wedding on December 1, 2025, may have been an intimate affair, but it delivered everything fans love…a beautiful bridal look, a low-key celebration and one very striking diamond ring that instantly became the internet’s new obsession.
For the ceremony, Samantha wore a flaming red Banaras sari woven from pure Katan satin silk. The saree required two to three weeks of handwork by a single master artisan, featuring powder-zari buttis, a Nishi-woven border, and detailed beige-gold zardozi, including saadi taar, cutdana, kasab, and tiny mirrors. Styled by Pallavi Singh and Selvi, it was a traditional but polished look that felt completely in tune with the intimate wedding setting. But as soon as the photos went public, it wasn’t just the sari everyone was talking about.
All You Need To Know About Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s Wedding Ring
Samantha’s wedding ring is designed by Athens-based jeweller Theodoros Savopoulos, someone who is known for staying intentionally out of the spotlight. Diet Sabya was the first to point this out. Savopoulos rarely gives interviews, keeps his public presence minimal and creates only a handful of one-of-a-kind pieces each year. His clients tend to be collectors who value privacy and exclusivity.
His designs are highly gem-focused, creative and inspired by nature and historic craftsmanship. His pieces have been shown at Jewellery Arabia in Bahrain and TEFAF Maastricht, but beyond these rare appearances, he works quietly, often through private appointments or intimate trunk shows.
The highlight of Samantha’s ring is the diamond itself, which is a portrait-cut stone. This cut has deep roots in Indian history and became especially popular during the Mughal era. Shah Jahan used thin, flat diamonds as protective covers over miniature paintings, which is how the cut got its name, as per the report by Only Natural Diamonds.
A portrait-cut diamond looks like a clear, luminous sheet of light. Because it is flat and almost transparent, the diamond must be exceptionally clean. There are no facets to hide imperfections. That makes this cut rare, bespoke and extremely hard to source. Each stone is typically shaped specifically for the wearer, which adds to the personal meaning of the ring.
Samantha isn’t alone in going off the beaten path. From Aditi Rao Hydari’s Toi Et Moi ring to Taylor Swift’s vintage ring and Dua Lipa’s unconventional 18k yellow gold band engagement ring, more brides are choosing rings that tell a story rather than follow a rulebook. Samantha’s portrait-cut diamond fits perfectly in this new wave of rare, personal and unique rings.
