Selena Gomez's Engagement Ring: The Marquise Solitaire

Selena Gomez's engagement ring brought a slightly unexpected shape back into the spotlight: the marquise. When Benny Blanco proposed in late 2024, she showed off an elongated, pointed marquise diamond on a fine band, a shape that feels both vintage and thoroughly modern.

It is elegant, distinctive and flattering, and it has sent people searching for marquise engagement rings again. Here is what it is, why the marquise cut works so well, and how to capture the look. See more celebrity engagement rings for inspiration.

In short: Selena Gomez's engagement ring is a marquise-cut diamond, estimated at around five carats, set on a slim band. It was a custom design and estimates place its value in the low hundreds of thousands. Reve has recreated the look, the Marquise Cut Solitaire Diamond Engagement Ring, available from £2,000.

The ring, in detail

The centre stone is a marquise cut, an elongated shape with two pointed ends, sometimes described as an eye or a boat. It is one of the most flattering shapes on the finger because its length draws the eye and makes the hand look slender. Selena's sits on a fine band, keeping the focus firmly on the diamond.

A marquise also looks large for its carat weight, so a relatively modest stone still makes a real impression.

Why the marquise cut works

The marquise is one of the great elongating shapes: its length flatters the finger, it appears larger than its carat weight, and it carries a vintage, regal association that feels fresh again. Our diamond education guide explains how it compares to other shapes.

A shape with history

The marquise was reportedly commissioned in 18th-century France and named for a marquise at court, which gives it a romantic, old-world pedigree. That heritage, combined with its modern, fashion-forward silhouette, is exactly why it suits a style icon like Selena.

How to get the look

Choose a marquise diamond, set it on a slim solitaire band, and consider a protective setting for the pointed tips. In a lab-grown diamond you can have a generously sized marquise within budget, which makes this elongated look very attainable.

Is a marquise cut right for you?

A marquise is elegant, elongating and distinctive, which makes it perfect if you want something a little different. The pointed tips need a secure setting to protect them, and a well-cut stone avoids the bow-tie effect. If you love a shape with personality and flattering length, the marquise is a beautiful choice.
