The eye-watering value of Selena Gomez’s engagement ring value has been revealed
The singer and actress, 32, shocked fans on Wednesday night by revealing she is now engaged to her boyfriend Benny Blanco after a year and a half of dating.
She revealed the news on Instagram, sharing the first photos of her massive diamond engagement ring with her 422million followers and penning: ‘forever begins now..’ in the caption.
And it has now been revealed the stunning ring could be worth upwards of £800,000 ($1 million).
Laura Taylor, a jeweller specialising in engagement and wedding rings at Lorel Diamonds told MailOnline: ‘Benny’s choice of engagement ring for Selena is an exquisite and timeless design, perfectly suited to her style.
‘The ring features an incredible marquise-cut diamond at its centre, estimated to be around 8 carats, set on a yellow gold pavé band.
‘The marquise cut, with its elongated and pointed shape, is a statement choice, known for its brilliance and the way it elongates the finger, creating a striking and elegant look.’
The marquise cut dates back to the 18th century when King Louis XV of France commissioned a diamond shape that resembled the smile of his mistress, the Marquise de Pompadour.
Laura added: ‘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.
‘This setting maximises the brilliance of the overall design while maintaining a sense of sophistication.
‘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.’
In her engagement post she also included a photo of herself showing off her ring for the camera as Blanco, 36, wrapped his arm around her and kissed her head.
Blanco — a famed music producer — seemingly popped the question during a romantic nighttime picnic featuring Taco Bell.
