**New York, NY** – Singer Selena Gomez announced her engagement to Benny Blanco on Wednesday, showcasing a stunning 4-carat marquise-cut diamond ring estimated to be worth $200,000. The ring’s design holds special significance, according to diamond expert Maxwell Stone of UK retailer Steven Stone.
Stone noted that the marquise cut, less common than round or cushion cuts, is a unique choice reflecting Gomez’s individual style. He highlighted a possible connection between the ring and lyrics from Gomez’s 2015 song “Good for You,” which includes the lines “I’m on my marquise diamonds / I’m a marquise diamond.” This suggests a deeply personal touch from Blanco in the ring’s design.
The expert described the ring as featuring “meticulously crafted facets” resulting in “exceptional brilliance,” further enhanced by diamond-encrusted shoulders. He compared the piece to Coleen Rooney’s 10-carat, $400,000 engagement ring, emphasizing the high value and rarity of Gomez’s new accessory.
Gomez shared close-up photos of the ring on Instagram, captioning the post, “Forever begins now…” Blanco responded with, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.” The announcement has sparked widespread interest and speculation surrounding the couple’s upcoming nuptials.
