Selena Gomez wears her marquise diamonds!

The 32-year-old singer and actress announced her engagement to Benny Blanco on Wednesday, December 11, showing off the stunning sparkler the music producer gifted her. “Eternity begins now…” Gomez captioned an Instagram carousel that included some close-up shots of the ring.

The piece features a large marquise diamond – meaning it has an elongated oval shape with pointed ends – set on a diamond eternity band. To complement the stunning ring, Gomez opted for a simple nude manicure with short, rounded nails.

Ann Grimmett, Jared expert and VP of merchandising at Jared Jewelers, estimates the diamond contains 6 carats and is worth around $225,000.

“Selena Gomez’s engagement ring is fitting for a talent as rare as hers, as less than 5% of the diamonds are marquise diamonds,” Grimmett said in a press release. “The shape represents that old is new again, with a history that stretches back to the 19th century, but also represents the trend toward elongated fantasies that has grown rapidly in recent years.”

She continues, “Given the large center in an eternity setting, we estimate this to be around 6 carats and the value would be around $225,000.”

Marrow Fine’s Jillian Sassone shares the importance of the marquise shape (which, coincidentally or not, is referenced in Gomez’s 2015 track “Good for You”). Perhaps the singer manifested this result for herself years ago.

“Traditionally associated with royalty, marquise diamonds have elegant, pointed ends that create the illusion of a larger stone,” Sassone shares via email. “They’re also incredibly versatile – whether in a north-south or east-west shape, marquise diamonds look stunning in both prong and bezel settings.”

The expert adds that marquise engagement rings are currently trending and will continue into 2025.

Gomez’s announcement post also included a photo of the application.

On one side of the blanket are several boxes of Taco Bell, which is known to be a favorite of the singer.

Gomez also included a close-up shot of her and Blanco, 36, hugging and laughing Emilia Perez Stern flashes her ring. The record producer commented on the post: “Hey wait…that’s my wife.”

Gomez and Blanco began dating in June 2023 but had known each other for years. They collaborated with Tainy and J Balvin on the single “I Can’t Get Enough” in 2019, and in August 2023, Gomez released the Blanco-produced single “Single Soon”.

In December 2023, she confirmed their relationship when she liked the couple’s fan account posts on Instagram and even commented “He is my everything in my heart” on one of them. The couple made their red carpet debut at the 2024 Emmys in January.
