Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco announced their engagement last night, with Gomez posting photos to Instagram showing off her new bling
In the photos, Gomez – who ‘blacked out’ during an audition – showed off her stunning engagement ring, boasting a massive diamond and marquise cut, leaving fans to wonder how much the ring cost
“‘The central diamond is likely of exceptional quality, with VVS1 clarity and colourless grading in the D-F range. I would estimate the ring to be worth upwards of £800,000 ($1 million), depending on the precise diamond specifications,” Taylor told Daily Mail.
She added that that the ring is around eight carats set on a yellow gold band, perfect for Gomez’s style.
“‘Benny’s choice of engagement ring for Selena is an exquisite and timeless design, perfectly suited to her style,” she told Daily Mail.
“(It) is a statement choice, known for its brilliance and the way it elongates the finger, creating a striking and elegant look,” Taylor explained.. “The pavé band, with its continuous row of smaller diamonds set closely together, adds an extra layer of sparkle and luxury, beautifully complementing the central marquise diamond
The two began dating back in June 2023, with Gomez confirming the relationship on Instagram in December 2023. She revealed that they had been secretly dating for six months and called him her “absolute everything”.
Celebrities filled the comments of the Instagram post, congratulating the couple on their news.
“hey wait… that’s my wife,” commented Blanco, receiving over 419,000 likes.
“yes I will be the flower girl,” commented Taylor Swift, receiving over 845,000 likes.
