The marquise-cut diamond ring is estimated to be around 6-8 carats, claw set on a diamond studded band. The ring is thought to be worth anywhere between £200,000 to £500,00 based on the diamonds size, quality and cut. The ring has a striking balance of both modern and vintage elegance and is a true showstopper.
The choice of diamond cut is a thoughtful nod to Selena’s 2015 song ‘Good for You’ on which Benny was co-writer and producer and Selena describes herself as a ‘marquise diamond’, associating herself with this luxurious, desirable and rare item.
How to Get Selena’s Ring
If you love this icon’s ring, we have all the tips you need to get a similar look!
Cut
Ideally choose the same cut as Selena, a marquise cut. Sometimes this may be described as a navette shape, the term derived from the latin ‘navalis’, meaning boat-shaped. A marquise cut elongates the finger and often maximises on carat weight! Alternatively, you could look at similarly elongated shape such as a pear or even an oval.
Band
Instead of a traditional plain ring shank, opt for a diamond band to achieve the same look as Selena’s pavé set diamond shank. Or save the extra glamour for the wedding day and opt for a diamond eternity band as your wedding ring!
Metal
It’s hard to tell from the published images but it’s believed her ring is set in yellow gold. However, metal really does come down to personal preference so choose what makes you happy!
Shape
Want the same vibe but not the price tag that comes with the size of that diamond? We’ve got you – opt for a navette shaped ring that will give you the same shape and size as Selena’s but at the fraction of price! You’ll also get more sparkle with multiple diamond instead of a solitaire!
