Benny Blanco's engagement ring to Selena Gomez has a deeper significance.

 

Selena Gomez's engagement ring selection by Benny Blanco demonstrates his attention to even the slightest things.

In an Instagram photo on Wednesday, December 11, the 32-year-old Rare singer revealed the gorgeous sparkler with the caption, "forever begins now."

The ring is unquestionably beautiful, but it also pays a charming homage to her musical career. The rare marquise diamond appears to have been picked by Blanco, 36, as a nod to Gomez's 2015 hit song Good For You, in which she sings, "I'm on my marquise diamonds / I'm a marquise diamond."

The reference was swiftly noticed by fans, who tweeted, "Stop, did he get her a marquise diamond in honor of their song??" The bar you're setting is too high, Benny!

According to experts, the one-of-a-kind ring is just as uncommon as Gomez. According to Ann Grimmett, vice president of Jared Jewelers, marquise diamonds make up "less than 5% of all diamonds," which she described as "fitting for a talent as rare as hers."

In addition, Grimmett calculates that the diamond weighs six carats and is worth about $225,000, although Mike Fried, CEO of Diamond Pro, estimates that it weighs eight carats and is worth about $250,000.

The romantic origin of the elongated oval design dates back to the 18th century in France, when King Louis XV ordered a diamond fashioned after the lips of his mistress, the Marquise de Pompadour.
