Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s engagement news took the internet by storm. The ‘Who Says’ fame singer shared the piece of great news on her social media handle, where she not only expressed her excitement but did a major flex by showing her stunning engagement ring.
On the one hand, where the news in itself is too huge, on the other hand, the shining stone of the ring caught everyone’s attention instantly. Set against a chunky yellow gold band, the centerpiece of the ring is a sparkling marquise-cut diamondwith smaller stones around it. From its sheer charm to the whooping cost and the hidden message, everything about the ring has raised curiosity among the netizens.
So let’s begin by talking about the design of the ring. Benny Blanco is more of a coloured stone person. His choice of accessories on various occasions has proved the same. An example of the same is present in this year’s style diaries as he wore a necklace with a prominent red stone during his appearance on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna in May. Thus, it was expected that instead of a marquise-cut diamond, the couple would have gone for a coloured gemstone ring.
Further, as reported by L’Officiel Singapore, the cost of Selena Gomez’s six-carat engagement ring is approximately $225,000.
“Selena Gomez’s engagement ring is as unique as her talent, considering less than five percent of diamonds are marquise,” said Ann Grimmett, Jared expert and VP of Merchandising.
Now, let’s talk about the secret message. Yes, the ring is much more than just a reflection of Selena and Benny’s style, it has more to do with their understanding of one another. It has a connection to the singer’s 2015 collaboration with A$AP Rocky, ‘Good for You.’
In this song, there’s a line that the songstress sings – “I’m in my marquise diamonds / I’m a marquise diamond / Could even make that Tiffany jealous.”
The lyrics highlight the feeling of wanting to look beautiful for someone special and expressing it out loud that you are now theirs.
Jewelry experts believe that The symbolism of the diamond cut aligns with the theme of the song. If this is true, then the ring has more emotional depth, and Blanco can be described as the ultimate ‘green flag.’
