With an oval-cut diamond weighing between 5 and 6 carats, the “7 rings” of Dalton Gomez’s singer rock might be a little smaller than the others on our list—but it stands out thanks to a heartwarming inclusion from Grande’s grandma. As fans were able to note, the pearl in the special sparkler seems to have come from her late grandfather’s tie pin; Grande’s “nonna” was originally placed in a simpler ring in 2014. “She says he told her in a dream that it would protect me,” the pop star tweeted at the time.
