Selena Gomez’s Engagement Ring
Not confirmed. Jewellers’ estimates range from about 3 to 9 carats marquise diamond by Abril Barret

Celebrity engagement rings / Victoria Beckham
In short: Victoria Beckham’s original engagement ring, from January 1998, is a marquise diamond of about 3 carats on a yellow-gold band. It was rumoured to have cost £65,000. She has reportedly been given many more rings since; she has never confirmed how many.
The ring
To scale
From above, it covers roughly 2.5× the area of a typical 1 carat round diamond. Drawn from the reported weight and typical proportions for the cut, so treat it as a close estimate.
The story
David Beckham proposed in January 1998, reportedly at Rookery Hall near Nantwich in Cheshire. The marquise diamond on a yellow-gold band became one of the defining rings of the late 1990s.
She has since been reported to have received more than a dozen further rings, including eternity bands and an emerald-cut diamond. She has never confirmed the number, and the multi-million-pound totals in the press are jewellers’ estimates.
What it means for you: Selena Gomez brought the marquise back in 2024, almost 30 years after this ring. Marquise looks bigger for its weight than any other shape, which makes it one of the best-value ways to get a striking ring.
