All the Details of Selena Gomez’s Engagement Ring

The ring itself is a stunner, featuring what appears to be a 3-carat solitaire marquise set on a yellow-gold eternity band. It’s a unique natural diamond and veers off the oval cut engagement ring trend that’s having a moment this year and feels refreshingly original. The band, too, breaks from the delicate pavé or slim gold styles currently in style. Wider in proportion and set with larger diamonds, it gives the design a bold presence. It only makes sense that Selena Gomez’s engagement ring would be a true reflection of her singular sense of style.

Gomez is said to have long envisioned this cut, even referencing it in her song “Good for You,” where she likens herself to a “marquise diamond”—a lyrical nod Benny Blanco considered during the design process. The original setting included baguettes flanking the center stone, but Selena chose a more streamlined silhouette, with the extra diamonds now destined to become matching earrings.

The marquise diamond—distinguished by its elongated form and tapered tips—dates back to 18th-century France. Legend has it that Louis XV commissioned the shape to evoke the lips of his mistress, the Marquise de Pompadour, giving the cut both romantic and aristocratic associations. Over time, the “navette” or marquise became a symbol of nobility and dramatic elegance.

Today, the marquise is beloved for its balance of timelessness and modernity. Its stretched silhouette flatters the finger while creating the illusion of greater size, making it a cut that feels both distinctive and enduringly chic.
