How Much Is Selena Gomez’s Engagement Ring Worth? The Hidden Secret Behind It
Benny Blanco has spared no expense for his future wife.
We’re heading to a wedding! Well, not us, but Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s closest circle certainly is, as the couple has gotten engaged.
After a year and a half of dating, Selena and Benny are deeply in love, and their relationship is sailing smoothly. They’ve decided to take a big step forward, a surprise celebrated by Taylor Swift—who is already hoping to be a bridesmaid—Jennifer Aniston, Nina Dobrev, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Cardi B, among other celebrities.
We learned about the news this morning when the singer shared several images on her Instagram profile and stories featuring the stunning engagement ring her future husband used to propose during a picnic in a city park.
«Forever Starts Now»
With the caption «Forever starts now,» the Wolves singer proudly showcased her new accessory. But this is more than just an engagement ring—it carries a romantic backstory and immeasurable sentimental value (though we’ve also investigated its material cost).
The Diamond: A Nod to One of Her Songs
As we discovered, the ring features a marquise-cut diamond estimated at around 8 carats. Known for its elongated, pointed shape, this cut enhances both the size and brilliance of the gem.
The marquise cut holds a romantic dedication, perfect for true romantics. In 2015, Selena Gomez released Good For You with A$AP Rocky, a hit featuring the lyric: «I’m on my marquise diamonds, I’m a marquise diamond.»
This phrase may have influenced the choice of ring, giving it deeper meaning and highlighting the bond that initially connected the couple professionally. The two collaborated on projects like Same Old Love (2015), I Can’t Get Enough (with J Balvin and Tainy in 2021), and Single Soon last year. As the saying goes, «What the music industry brought together, let nothing part.»

Laura Taylor, a professional at Lorel Diamonds, told the British outlet that «the central diamond is likely of exceptional quality, with VVS1 clarity (a high level of purity) and a D-F color grading (nearly colorless).»
