The main diamond takes center stage, but the chunky yellow gold band also sparkles with smaller stones. “When I first saw the ring, all I could think about was how unique it was,” jewelry content creator and gemstone wholesaler Julia Hackman Chafé told TODAY.com in an email statement.
At first, Chafé was surprised by the ring choice. She expected Gomez to “go for a colored stone ring” since Blanco, whose real name is Benjamin Levin, “specifically wears a lot of colored gemstones.” Blanco wore a necklace with a large red stone during his May 2024 , for example.
Instead, she went for a marquise cut diamond. Chafé estimated Gomez’s center stone is four carats with .25 carat stones lining the band.
“The diamond itself, if Benny chose a high-quality diamond, is probably around $75,000 and up,” she said. But it appears the marquise cut has a deeper, and deliberate, meaning. The diamond type is referenced in Gomez's 2015 collab with A$AP Rocky, “Good for You,” when she sings, “I’m in my marquise diamonds / I’m a marquise diamond / Could even make that Tiffany jealous.
