Selena Gomez and her engagement ring details

It was the happiest moment in the life of American singer and actress, Selena Gomez, 32 when her music producer boyfriend, Benny Blanco, 36 proposed to her. She revealed the news on her Instagram. And now people are talking about her massive and gorgeous engagement ring.

Reports state that the engagement ring of Selena is a giant marquise cut diamond that is set on a golden-yellow band that is lined with small diamonds. The cost of this ring is estimated to be around USD 200k to USD 1 million.

This shape of the ring is unconventional and different from the usual oval-shaped diamonds that dominate the engagement rings making. It has sharp and elongated edges with soft curves throughout. For the first time, King Louis XV of France had asked his jewelers to give the diamond that shape which he wanted to resemble the lips of his lady love, the Marquise de Pompadour. This was way back in the 18th century.

Very few people use that shape of diamonds in their engagement rings. The other celebrities who have worn rings with marquise cut diamonds are Victoria Beckham, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, and Jennifer Lopez.
