When Benny Blanco proposed to Selena Gomez in December 2024, fans around the world held their breath—because she revealed a ring unlike many others. Rather than the standard solitaire, Selena’s engagement ring is a marquise-cut diamond with a sparkling pavé band—a design that’s already influencing bridal trends everywhere.
In an Instagram post captioned “forever begins now,” she flashed that stunning ring, and jewellery experts immediately went to work analyzing the cut, carat, and craftsmanship. But beyond all that, the ring speaks to a deeper story—of dreams, music, and personal style.
Let’s take a closer look: the specs, the symbolism, the cost whispers, and how Rings of Australia can help you wear something inspired by her ring—without needing celebrity dollars.
The Specs: What’s Actually Known
Selena’s ring has been admired by fans and jewellery experts alike across social media and celebrity circles. And here’s what most agree on:
-
Cut & Shape: A marquise diamond, elongated with tapered ends. It’s sharp, dramatic, and visually elongates the finger.
-
Estimated Carat: Many jewellers and insiders place it in the 5 to 8 carat range. Some reports lean toward around 6 carats.
- Band & Setting: The ring features a pavé diamond band, likely set in yellow gold or a warm metal tone to complement her style.
-
Value: Conservative estimates place its worth around USD $225,000 (Around AUD $340,000) or more, depending on cut, clarity, and craft.
-
Design Process: The ring was custom-designed. Initially, it reportedly included oversized baguette side stones, but Selena asked to tone them down for refinement. The extra diamonds are slated to be repurposed into earrings.
-
Symbolism & Lyrics Tie: Selena has referenced being a “marquise diamond” in her 2015 song “Good for You”. That lyrical choice became literal in her ring design.
What emerges is a ring that’s more than just a pretty piece—it’s deeply personal, reflecting Selena’s artistic identity and emotional history.
The Story Behind the Sparkle
When Selena shared the ring news on Instagram with the caption “Forever starts now”, reactions ranged from swoons to shock. But this wasn’t a last-minute jewellery purchase—it was the culmination of a thoughtful design journey.
Benny and Selena reportedly collaborated over months to refine every detail: from diamond shape and size to side stones and metal tone. What began as a more elaborate design with baguettes evolved into something cleaner, more modern, and intentionally balanced. Those removed baguettes weren’t wasted—they’re planned future earrings.
Designers working with the couple chose a raised marquise setting, yet kept the profile relatively low. This “cathedral-style” touch allows the ring to sit elegantly yet securely.
Beyond aesthetics, the ring carries symbolic weight. Selena’s decades-old lyric now manifests physically on her finger. It’s the kind of poetic circle millions of fans felt deeply.
Why This Ring Resonates
- Distinctive Shape: Marquise diamonds are less common, so they stand out.
- Illusion of Size: The elongated cut makes the stone appear larger than its carat weight.
- Emotional Layering: Lyrics, legacy, and personal taste combined.
-
Trendsetter: Since her reveal, demand for marquise cuts and pavé bands has spiked across jewellers.
It’s a ring that doesn’t just catch light—it catches hearts.
