Santa Barbara, Calif.—Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco tied the knot while wearing sparkling diamond jewelry.
The musician, actress, and businesswomen wed the music producer on Saturday at the Sea Crest Nursery in Santa Barbara, California, in front of 170 of their family and friends, according to Vogue.
Gomez paired her custom Ralph Lauren satin wedding dress with a pair of Tiffany & Co. earrings.
While she isn’t a Tiffany & Co. ambassador, she often wears the jeweler’s pieces on the red carpet.
The drop-style earrings featured more than 12 carats of diamonds set in platinum.

The drop-style earrings featured more than 12 carats of diamonds set in platinum.
During the ceremony, she carried a lily of the valley bouquet while wearing her marquise-cut engagement ring on her left hand and two diamond rings on her right.
On her middle finger was a “Sixteen Stone” ring designed by Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co. in 1959 to express love’s nurturing forces. It showcases 1.14 carats of round brilliant-cut diamonds interspersed with platinum Xs.
One of the rings Selena Gomez wore on her wedding day was the “Sixteen Stone” ring by Jean Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co. with 1.14 carats of round brilliant-cut diamonds set in platinum.
Gomez also stacked a diamond eternity band with her engagement ring.
Jewelry influencer Julia Hackman Chafé of JewelsWithJules told National Jeweler that the ring appears to feature east-west set moval-cut diamonds.
To sit flush with her engagement ring, the band has either a shared-prong setting or an open jacket design, according to Jillian Sassone, founder and creative director of Marrow Fine.
“Selena’s wedding band is a great example of how brides are putting a fresh spin on classic styles,” Sassone said.
“More and more brides are gravitating toward pieces like this: stackable, timeless, and refined, but with just enough detail to feel personal.”
Gomez’s now-husband Blanco stunned in his own curation of dazzling diamond jewelry.
A standout was the one-of-a-kind diamond boutique watch by Jacob & Co. Crafted exclusively for Blanco, the piece was a reimagining of the jeweler’s diamond boutique timepiece.
It featured 21.39 carats of Ashoka-cut diamonds and 1.05 carats of Ashoka-cut trillion diamonds set in 18-karat white gold.

Blanco paired the watch with a Jacob & Co. tennis bracelet that featured 29.03 carats of square emerald-cut diamonds set in platinum.
Blanco also turned to Jacob & Co. for his wedding band.
From the outside, the custom comfort-fit band appears to be just 18-karat yellow gold.
However, two gemstones are hidden inside—a 0.03-carat round-cut pavé ruby and a 0.03-carat round-cut pavé aquamarine, the couple’s birthstones—as well as an engraving of the couple’s wedding date.
“Jewelry tells a story, and with these bespoke creations, we wanted to capture Benny and Selena’s love in its purest form,” Jacob & Co. CEO Benjamin Arabov said.
“Every detail, down to the choice of stones, was meant to honor their journey and create heirlooms that will last forever. We are proud to be part of this journey.”
Adding elements, like the inclusion of the ruby and aquamarine, is a detail Sassone said more of her clients are embracing, and Blanco’s pairing of the diamond watch and tennis bracelet show that men are experimenting with jewelry in ways that feel personal and polished.
“It’s a reminder that diamonds on men can be timeless, elegant, and effortlessly classic … and I hope it inspires more men to embrace jewelry without rules,” Sassone said.
Guests at the couple’s wedding included Taylor Swift—who is recently engaged and wearing an elongated old mine-cut diamond ring—along with Paul Rudd, Martin Short, Steve Martin, Paris Hilton, David Henrie, and many more.
