ENGAGEMENT RING TALES

Selena Gomez

Selena finally manifested her marquise diamond! The singer and businesswoman's rare engagement ring from her fiancé Benny Blanco is a gorgeous blend of regal minimalism and pavé glam.

A Marquise Diamond for a Marquise Diamond

We’ve been waiting for this engagement ring to drop, and oh baby—it was so worth it! With a diamond Selena Gomez has been manifesting since 2015 (“I’m on my marquise diamonds, I’m a marquise diamond” in her song Good for You), her engagement to music producer Benny Blanco feels like the ultimate full-circle moment. And if that isn’t your sign to start manifesting, we don’t know what is!

Benny and Selena’s story goes back almost a decade. The two first worked together on her Revival album in 2015, building a close friendship and creative partnership. Fast forward to June 2023, when friendship turned into something more (and you know how the rest goes). Benny proposed on December 11th, 2024, with a picnic on a film set with Selena’s faves from Taco Bell—possibly a sweet nod to their first date!

Now let’s talk about the ring. Benny proposed with a marquise-cut diamond, most likely between 3.5 to 4 carats, set on a thicker yellow-gold pavé band. Minimal and tasteful with just the right touch of pavé glam. The chunkier setting adds a hint of sparkle without stealing the spotlight from the rare marquise diamond. It’s a natural trend progression for anyone loving the elongated, vintage-inspired cuts (oval and pear lovers, take note ).

And you know we can’t resist a little jewelry lore! The marquise cut dates back to 18th-century France, when King Louis XV commissioned a diamond to resemble the lips of his lover, the Marquise de Pompadour. What a way to leave a legacy, with a diamond named after you!

Whether it’s the lyrical tie-in, the thoughtful proposal, or the Rare Beauty (see what we did there?) of this timeless design, Selena’s engagement ring reminds us that the best love stories take time to unfold. 🥂💕
