When it comes to fashion, you can’t forget Selena Gomez on the list of the most stylish celebrities. The makeup mogul sets trends and always wears impeccable outfits. But her fashion statements don’t just end there, because the singer/actress also repeatedly stuns her fans with exquisite diamond jewelry.
The ‘Only Murders in the Building’ actress is known for wearing glamorous diamond earrings and recently, she debuted a ring so enchanting that it sparked engagement rumors between her and Hollywood music producer Benny Blanco. Selena Gomez’s ring surprised many fans when she shared a black and white photo on her Instagram story.
Gomez shared a photo and showed off her well-manicured hand, featuring a special ring on her left ring finger. This way, Gomez confirmed her romance with Benny Blanco by commenting on a fan account’s post. She wrote, “He is my absolute everything in my heart.” Her Instagram comments went viral and so did her sparkly ring which has now gotten the name “Selena Gomez ‘B’ Ring.”
The bypass diamond ring is a custom design that features the letter “B” to honor her boyfriend, Benny Blanco. A bypass ring is a vintage-style setting characterized by bands that twist rather than form a conventional continuous loop. Therefore, one end of the ring was encrusted with several small diamonds in the form of “B,” while the other end of the ring featured a single, round cut diamond.
The appearance of the ring is adorable and petite. Since Gomez showed herself wearing the ring on her left hand’s ring finger, fans went into a frenzy and started questioning, “Was that Selena Gomez’s engagement ring?” Although Selena and Benny made things official on social media, the 31-year-old did not deny nor confirm the engagement rumors. But she did implore her fans to support her decision to date Blanco on social media.
In another one of her comments, she defended herself and wrote, “This is my happiest. If you don’t feel free to say whatever you want. But I will never allow your words to guide my life. Ever. I’m done. If you can’t accept me at my happiest then don’t be in [m]y life at all.”
Therefore, many fans concluded that her new buzz-making ring was actually a promise ring. But this is not the first promise ring that the Billboard Music Award winner has received.
As mentioned previously, Selena Gomez previously wore a promise ring, which the pop star and her ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber, gave her in 2012. When fans initially saw the ring, they thought that Bieber had proposed to Gomez; however, this was never confirmed by any party. So, it was safely assumed that it was a fan theory.
The ring Justin gifted Selena was made of silver with a diamond-encrusted “J” on it. Selena wore the ring throughout their eight years on-and-off relationship.
Selena Gomez’s rings have now set the trend, as every other person wants to own a symbol of love as similar as hers and wear it on their finger. But have you ever given thought as to why initially rings are so popular and so many people happily flaunt their partner’s names in the form of jewelry?
Initial rings have been adorned by people for centuries now and were originally used as a seal to imprint a person’s signature into documents or letters for authenticity. Fast forward to now, and they are worn as fashionable accessories instead of their functional use.
Initial rings hold great significance for their wearers because they represent the connection the wearer has with the person whose initial they wear. Since initial rings like Selena Gomez’s ring are highly personalized, they are rich in symbolism. These rings are also popular as gifts and can be given to anyone on special occasions like anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, or birthdays.
Selena Gomez sure knows how to rock the world, not just with her music and acting but also with her fabulous style, especially in the jewelry department. The buzz around Selena Gomez’s “B” ring went wild and led to speculations about her engagement with Benny Blanco. Whether it’s a symbol of love or just a chic accessory, initial rings like Selena’s have become the hottest trend.
