The 27-year-old, who married boyfriend Dalton Gomez in an intimate wedding ceremony at her Montecito, Calif. home mid-May, showcased her new bling — designed by her new husband — during a performance with The Weeknd.
The pair performed the remixed version of "Save Your Tears" — which features Grande’s vocals — off The Weeknd’s 2020 album "After Hours" to open the show. The singer’s sky-high "whistle register" notes during the performance quickly had Twitter buzzing following the song.

According to E! News, Gomez tapped Solow & Co jewelers for a "beautiful, tasteful platinum and diamond pavé band" for Grande. The company was also behind the 5- or 6-carat engagement ring he used to propose in December, which features an oval-cut diamond set diagonally next to a pearl.

The pearl, an unusual choice for an engagement ring, is believed to be a sentimental choice for Grande: It’s not only her birthstone, but also may be a gift from her grandmother, who reportedly had it fashioned from a tie pin belonging to her husband.
"She says he told her in a dream it’d protect me <3," Grande told fans in 2014.
