When it comes to iconic pop stars, Ariana Grande rarely does things by the book—and her engagement ring is no exception. Forget the classic solitaire or the oversized celebrity sparkler. When real estate agent Dalton Gomez proposed to Ariana in December 2020, he didn’t just give her a ring—he gave her a story, a memory, and a stunningly unconventional piece of jewellery that had fans, designers, and stylists buzzing.
So, what makes Ariana Grande’s engagement ring so unique? Why did it become a viral sensation overnight? And more importantly—how can you design a similar look without spending like a Grammy-winning superstar?
Let’s break down the details, the story, and the inspiration. And if you're already picturing yourself with something similar on that finger—we’ve got you covered too.
The Design: A Pearl and a Diamond Walk Into a Ring…
Ariana’s ring is nothing short of conversation-starting. Instead of one big rock, her ring features a tilted oval-shaped diamond paired with a luminous pearl, set asymmetrically on a delicate gold or platinum band. It’s a perfect blend of high fashion and deeply personal sentiment.
According to Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Page Six, the diamond is estimated to be around 5 to 7 carats, oval cut, and of excellent clarity. The pearl adds a layer of warmth and whimsy that’s rarely seen in engagement rings.
This combination isn’t just aesthetically striking—it’s emotionally meaningful. Fans were quick to speculate (and Ariana subtly confirmed) that the pearl came from a tie pin that belonged to her late grandfather. Years ago, Ariana shared a photo of a pearl ring with the caption, "Nonna had a ring made for me with the pearl from Grandpa’s tie pin. She says he told her in a dream it’d protect me."
Let’s be honest—cue the collective internet tears.
How Much Did It Cost?
Estimates from celebrity jewellers place the ring’s total value between USD $350,000–$750,000 (roughly AUD $540,000–$1.15 million), depending on the carat size, quality of the diamond, and custom craftsmanship.
But as we like to say: the most valuable part of this ring isn’t the price—it’s the personal touch.
A Ring That Broke the Internet (In a Good Way)
Why did this ring go viral almost instantly?
-
It’s not just a diamond—it’s a design.

The pearl is symbolic.
Whether sentimental or spiritual, it gave the ring a story that fans could connect with. -

When she posted the photo of the ring (captioned “forever n then some”) alongside adorable snaps with Dalton, Instagram nearly combusted. And not just from her 200M+ followers. -
It’s a modern love story.
A low-key relationship, a private engagement, and a ring that reflects individual style rather than tradition? Yes please.
