A Marquise Diamond
As we predicted previously, marquise diamonds are the upcoming ultimate ring trend for 2025. Gomez’s natural diamond is estimated to range from four to six carats. The average consumer can still rock a ring in a similar carat range by purchasing a lab grown marquise diamond, but with a more reasonable price point.
Marquise cut stands out from traditionally round diamonds and the trendy oval and radiant cut, and are meant for those who want to make a statement with their jewelry and express their own style. When choosing a marquise diamond, one must remember to protect the football shaped stones two main points, whether it be through the rings prongs or in a bezel setting.
Celebrities who have rocked a marquise cut in the past include Victoria Beckham, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and Catherine Zeta Jones.

A Pavé Ring
Gomez’s engagement ring features a yellow gold pavé band, which perfectly contrasts the sparkling white marquise center. A pavé ring has small diamonds set along the band, adding extra sparkle without detracting from the gorgeous center stone. Gomez’s ring is being reported as a fully pave, eternity band, meaning the diamonds surround the ring entirely.
It’s important when choosing a pavé ring to consider one’s own lifestyle and other factors, like whether they’re ready to remove the ring before physical activity or sleeping, as well as being able to gently clean the delicate setting. These factors are also important to consider with an eternity style band, as fully eternity styled bands aren’t able to be resized.
