The jeweller continued to talk about the ring and described that the marquise-cut diamond, with its elongated and pointed shape, is a bold and distinctive choice, radiating a subtle and elegant look.  It is known for its brilliant sparkle and its ability to create the illusion of a longer, more elegant finger.

The marquise cut also has a fascinating history, dating back to the 18th century. It was reportedly created by King Louis XV of France, who designed it to resemble the smile of his cherished mistress, the Marquise de Pompadour. The cut thus serves as a timeless symbol of love, both in the past and today. A simple yet timeless piece, carefully curated by the designer to cherish the love between the couple.

The central diamond is probably of outstanding quality, with VVS1 clarity and a colourless grade in the D-F range. Based on the exact details of the diamond, the ring is estimated to be worth more than Rs 8,59,28,960 (GBP 800,000; USD 1 million).

While the ring’s hefty price tag may raise eyebrows, it embodies a blend of craftsmanship, history, and sentiment. And fans can’t wait for Selena and Blanco to get married soon.
