Selena Gomez’s Engagement Ring: A Symbol of Love and Music reflects the deep connection she shares with her fiancé. 

In a heartfelt proposal, her fiancé Benny Blanco seemed to pay tribute to the Rare Beauty founder’s popular song “Good for You,” making the moment even more special. This memorable engagement was revealed by the Only Murders in the Building star on her social media account on December 11, delighting fans and followers alike. 

The music producer chose a breathtakingly beautiful piece of jewelry that features a stunning marquise-shaped diamond, skillfully set on a gold pavé band. According to Ann Grimmett, the vice president of Merchandising at Jared Jewelers, this exquisite diamond appears to weigh “about six carats,” which translates to a remarkable value of “around $225,000.” This lavish choice undoubtedly reflects his affection and admiration for Selena.

For dedicated fans of Selena’s music, the significance of the marquise cut is unmistakable, as it resonates deeply with her 2015 hit.

In the song, Selena passionately sings, “I’m on my marquise diamonds,” alongside A$AP Rocky. The lyrics celebrate the allure and beauty of marquise diamonds, with lines that emphasize their luxury: “I’m a marquise diamond / Could even make that Tiffany jealous / You say I give it to you hard / So bad, so bad / Make you never wanna leave / I won’t, I won’t.”

Selena joins a long line of glamorous celebrities who have embraced the beauty of this stunning cut. The marquise diamond, often referred to as the “lemon-shaped” cut, has a regal history, originally crafted for royalty. The diamond’s inception dates back to the 18th century when King Louis XV of France commissioned his jeweler to create a diamond inspired by the smile of his beloved mistress, Marquise de Pompadour’s smile, which is detailed in Vogue.
