Ariana Grande announced on Instagram on Friday that she was engaged to real-estate agent Dalton Gomez, whom she has been dating since January 2020. They have been quarantined together at their Los Angeles home for most of the past year. Captioned “Forever and After,” the post featured photos of the happy couple, along with a close-up of Ariana Grande’s engagement ring. Built on a band that appears to be platinum, the ring features a 5- or 6-digit oval cut diamond twisted to one side with a round pearl about half the size of the cut stone.
The Toi et Moi (French for “You and I”) ring trend calls for placing two different stones next to each other, and it will be everywhere in 2021. But what really makes Grande’s ring still more special is the choice of setting the diamond at an angle. Whether it’s a single stone or a baguette band, the asymmetrical setting is one that many brands are beginning to incorporate into their repertoire like Jemma Wynne and Suzanne Kalan. It’s a youthful, modern way to take a classic setting and make it feel more unique.
Also, Ariana Grande’s engagement ring can have a special meaning for your family. Fans noted that the pearl looks similar to the one that appears on a ring she received from her grandmother in 2014. At the time, Grande tweeted, “Nonna made me a ring out of the pearl from Grandpa’s tie clip. She says he told her in a dream that he would protect me <3. "Either way, the pearls have a deeper meaning for the singer.
