Selena Gomez recently engaged to Benny Blanco, and posted joyful photos of herself showing off her ring planted with a large rock. Fans were thrilled to hear the news, while several even questioned the ring’s diamond cost.
With a four-carat marquise-shaped diamond, the music producer proposed to Gomez. The ring currently on Gomez’s finger cost approximately $200K, according to a knowledgeable jewelry vendor in the United Kingdom.
Post the adorable engagement of the couple, Maxwell Stone posted, “With meticulously crafted facets that come together to create an exceptional brilliance, the center stone is complimented by diamond-encrusted shoulders.”
It further added, “While marquise-cut diamonds are less common than the more traditional round or cushion cuts, they are highly coveted by those with a taste for individuality and distinction.”
According to Vogue, the pricey jewelry has historical connections to the French Royal family, despite its exorbitant cost. King Louis XV of France reportedly instructed his jeweler to create a ring that was modeled after the smile of the principal mistress, Marquise de Pompadour.
Additionally, the words of Gomez’s song, which played in the background of the engagement post, matched the ring Blanco placed on her finger.
The lyrics read, “I’m a marquise diamond/Could even make that Tiffany jealous/ You say I give it to you hard/So bad, so bad / Make you never wanna leave/I won’t, I won’t.”
The actress smiled for the picture flaunting the ring, in another picture Blanco gave his lover a back hug while they laughed unguardedly.
