Where Are Ariana Grande's Engagement Rings Now?

Before Ariana Grande and her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater became an item, she was a fiancée two times over. The pop music icon and actress was famously connected to SNL star and comedian Pete Davidson in 2018; their unexpected, whirlwind romance went public in the spring and resulted in a lightning fast proposal. By the fall, however, Grande and Davidson had already called it quits. Just over a year later, the singer began dating Dalton Gomez, a real estate agent, who she married at home in May 2021. After two years of marriage, Grande filed for divorce, which was officially finalized in the spring of 2024.

Though only one of the aforementioned relationships ended in marriage, both Davidson and Gomez gave Grande an engagement ring, and together, they have a combined value of over $1 million. The rings had very few similarities—in fact, you could argue that their only commonality is that Grande no longer wears them. Ahead, we share more about each ring, and attempt to track down exactly what Grande did with these pieces in the aftermath of each breakup.

Ariana Grande’s Engagement Ring From Pete Davidson

When Davidson asked Grande to marry him, he did so with a three-carat pear-shaped engagement ring from New York City jeweler Greg Yun—who told E! News that the comedian had secretly commissioned the diamond in a hurry. “Pete called me at the end of May and said, ‘Look, I’m getting a ring. This is what I want.’ And I told him that I had the right ring for him,” Yuna shared of the diamond, which had an estimated worth of $100,000. “He didn’t tell me who it was for but told me to keep it a secret. He didn’t tell me anything about it.”

By June, the couple was officially engaged, which Davidson publicly confirmed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “I feel like I won a contest, so sick,” he told host Jimmy Fallon. Though Grande was relatively close-lipped about the proposal—she said in an interview on the Zach Sang Show that the moment “was just really simple and really sweet” and that “he didn't get on the knee or anything, thank God”—Davidson was more forthcoming. He told Variety that he proposed in bed. “I didn’t want to do something corny,” he explained. “We were in bed hanging, after watching a movie. I was like, ‘Will you marry me?’ It was really dope.”

The actress wore her ring for the majority of the summer before it vanished in September and early October, just a few weeks after her ex Mac Miller’s death. By mid-October, she stepped out—for a Wicked performance, no less—without the ring and a band-aid over a finger where she had tattooed Davidson’s name, reports People.

By now, we know the couple’s fate (they amicably split and went their separate ways), but what of the pear-shaped engagement ring? According to a source close to Grande, she ultimately returned the diamond to Davidson. “She did give the ring back,” the insider told E! News at the time. “She ended the engagement and felt that was the right thing to do. They are not 100 percent split but things are very up in the air.”

Grande may have given back the diamond, but she did keep the couple’s pet pig, Piggy Smallz; according to TMZ, the actress had purchased the pig, which is why it remained in her care.

Ariana Grande’s Engagement Ring From Dalton Gomez

A little over a year after Grande’s public split from Davidson, she met Gomez, a real estate agent, just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The couple fell in love while quarantining at the actress’ Los Angeles home; by the end of the year, they were engaged. Per People, Gomez worked with jeweler Jack Solow to create her toi et moi engagement ring, which featured a pearl and oval-shaped diamond set on a platinum band. “He had very strong feelings about how he wanted this to look, a contemporary kind of way,” Solow told E! News. “It was his idea to do the diamond on an angle and he said to me we had to incorporate a pearl into the finished piece because it is very sentimentally special. The element of a pearl is very, very sentimentally special to Ariana. He wanted to include that in the ring.” 

The singers’ fans unearthed the meaning behind and potentially the source of the ring’s pearl. In 2014, following the death of her beloved grandfather, Grande took to X to share that her grandmother had given her something special to remember him by. “Nonna had a ring made for me w/ the pearl from grandpa's tie pin. She says he told her in a dream it'd protect me. <3,” she wrote in a post that has since been deleted. It’s possible that Gomez used that very same pearl when designing the $750,000 ring—or he simply could have included another pearl as an homage to his future wife’s grandfather.

Following their May 2021 wedding at home, Grande and Gomez were married for two years before announcing their separation in July 2023. A source close to the couple shared that it was geography that ultimately ended their union: Gomez needed to be in Los Angeles for work, but Grande needed to move to England to the film the on-screen adaptation of Wicked (the very same one that will hit theaters on November 22, 2024). A month after they announced their separation, rumors swirled that Grande was actually dating her Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater, who had also separated from his wife around that time.

As for what happened to the engagement ring Gomez gave her? It’s unclear whether or not Grande returned the pearl and diamond bauble to her ex-husband in the aftermath of their divorce, which reached settlement in October 2023 and was pronounced official in March 2024. If the ring did contain Grande’s grandfather’s pearl, it’s very likely that she kept it altogether—or that she commissioned a jeweler to remove the pearl from the setting and returned the band and diamond back to Gomez. This tracks, per the couple’s settlement court documents. According to Page Six, Grande asked the court to consider miscellaneous jewelry (she cited a pair of earrings) as her own property.
