Benny Blanco didn’t just pick a wedding band for Selena Gomez; he chose one that tells their unique love story. This special ring is crafted from 18-carat gold, designed by the luxury jewelers Jacob & Co. It holds a few sweet secrets inside, making it truly personal.
Hidden within the sleek band are two tiny gems, each weighing 0.03 carats. One is a ruby, representing Selena’s July 22nd birthday as a Cancer. The other is an aquamarine, Benny’s birthstone for his March 8th Pisces birthday. Next to these precious stones, you’ll find their wedding date, 27.09.25, carefully etched. Jacob & Co. also created a custom watch and bracelet for Benny, 37. You could spot these pieces in a photo where the happy couple held hands on their big day.
Benjamin Arabov, the CEO of Jacob & Co., shared thoughts about the special jewelry. Reports from People on Monday, September 29, quoted him saying, "We wanted to capture Benny and Selena’s love in its purest form with these custom creations." He added that every small detail, even the choice of stones, was picked to honor their journey. The goal was to create pieces that would become forever heirlooms. Arabov ended by saying, "We are proud to be part of this journey."
Selena, for her part, also sported new bling. She wore a diamond-studded wedding band next to her stunning marquise-cut diamond engagement ring. To complete her bridal look, she chose dazzling 12-carat diamond earrings from Tiffany & Co.
Laura Taylor, an engagement ring specialist at Lorel Diamonds, offered her expert opinion to Us Weekly on the wedding day. Taylor described Selena’s engagement ring as "a truly timeless design." She felt it perfectly suited Selena’s personal style. Taylor estimated the marquise-cut diamond to be around 8 carats, set on a yellow gold pavé band. She also noted that this type of diamond cut has become super popular lately. Taylor credits Selena for playing a big role in this trend. She said that global interest in marquise-cut diamonds jumped an amazing 246% compared to last year.
The couple, who announced their engagement in December 2024 after dating for a year, exchanged vows in Santa Barbara, California. Around 170 guests gathered to celebrate with them. An insider told Us Weekly that Selena’s family from Texas, Benny’s closest friends, and several celebrities were among those present.
The 33-year-old ‘Only Murders in the Building’ actress was very emotional during the ceremony. A source mentioned she "sobbed and cried intensely," leading to "not a dry eye in the room." The insider added, "Everyone there sobbed and it was extremely emotional." Benny’s vows were "much shorter" than Selena’s. He even joked that his wouldn’t be "as long." However, the source noted that his words were "still very heartfelt and tender."
Benny and Selena really went all out for their wedding day. They chose "very eclectic" decorations, with Benny planning the entire event himself. A source close to the couple told Us Weekly that the decor was "completely his style." It looked a lot like the interior of his Beverly Hills home. "He is passionate about design and loved taking charge of it," the source shared. One unique touch was "rugs and carpets everywhere," because Benny doesn’t like to wear shoes. In fact, both Benny and Selena spent most of the night barefoot.
