A Guide to Selena Gomez’s Engagement Ring

Selena Gomez has grown up and blossomed before our very eyes. The American actress and musician started her career on the Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place and various other programmes as one of the well-known ‘Disney Kids’. Post-Disney, Gomez transitioned from the small screen to the big screen as she was featured in several Hollywood box-office films. 

Gomez has also had a very successful music career, with her band Selena Gomez & the Scene and as a solo artist. She is known as a fashion icon and jewellery trendsetter, combining minimalist and statement pieces with every statement look. When she recently announced she was engaged to songwriter Benny Blanco in December 2024, we could not get enough of her dreamy engagement ring.

Diamond Heaven’s guide explores all rumours about Selena Gomez’s stunning Marquise engagement ring.

What Engagement Ring Does Selena Gomez Have?

Selena’s engagement ring features an elegant marquise-cut diamond that is set on a yellow-gold pave diamond band. 

Blanco’s decision to choose a marquise cut engagement ring may have been influenced by her 2015 hit ‘Good for You’. In the song, there is a lyric where Selena envisions herself as a marquise diamond. Could this be where his idea first hatched?

Gomez’s engagement ring represents an emergence in classic and vintage styles in a contemporary setting and it's the shape everyone is now talking about. Over the last few years, we have seen more couples wanting fancy-cut diamonds, particularly elongated shapes such as ovals, radiants and oblong cushion cuts. 

These shapes combine a vintage classic choice with a modern style setting and are trending in 2025’s predicted engagement ring design. With so many setting styles to choose from, you can put your modern spin on a fancy-cut diamond.

What Colour Grade is the Diamond on Selena’s Engagement Ring?

Many jewellers have estimated the marquise diamond on Selena’s engagement ring to have a colour grade of D to F, keeping it within the colourless range and sparkling bright. 

We recommend viewing multiple marquise diamonds in-store when choosing the colour grade from your diamond, as you will be surprised at how different each grade can appear. Always check the cut and clarity alongside the colour grade to ensure you have a quality diamond you will treasure forever.

How Many Carats is Selena’s Engagement Ring?

Selena’s marquise-cut engagement ring is reckoned to weigh 8 carats and is amongst the rarest celebrity engagement rings ever made. 

Marquise diamonds are renowned for their rarity, particularly in larger carat weights and then even rarer in higher quality grades. When choosing a large marquise diamond for your engagement ring, you must ensure the diamond is a higher cut grade, such as a very good to excellent. 

You can speak to your jeweller about the diamond ratio to ensure it has symmetrical sides to give the perfect circumference shape and to maximise its brilliance. 

What Engagement Ring Setting is Featured on Selena’s Ring?

The engagement ring setting on Selena’s marquise-cut engagement ring is a pave shoulder set band. 

The beauty of the pave shoulder set is that the setting will compliment the large centre stone without detracting focus from its beauty. Marquise diamonds have long been associated with royalty and remain a classic but rare choice for an engagement ring. 

The marquise diamond’s pointed ends and larger length ratio can help to create the appearance of a larger diamond when worn on your ring finger compared with a round or princess cut in the same carat weight. 

This is because the marquise cut stone is less deep than equilateral shapes. It means there is more carat weight in the face-up appearance and circumference of the diamond than in the depth allowing the diamond to appear larger in the ring setting.

How Much is Selena Gomez’s Engagement Ring Worth?

Several jewellers have estimated that Selena’s engagement ring is worth between $200,000 to $1 million (£157,785 to £788,401 in British pound sterling). Therefore, making another historical jewellery piece we will all admire and we hope Selena loves it!
