Ariana Grande is officially a bride-to-be, and her new engagement ring from fiancé Dalton Gomez might just have the sweetest backstory.Grande confirmed the engagement news on Instagram with a series of photos featuring her and Gomez, as well as a close-up shot of her gorgeous, albeit untraditional, new hardware. The singer's sparkler features two stones—an oval-cut diamond set next to an ivory pearl—on a thin gold band. But the pearl, according to Grande's most passionate fans, is believed to be a family heirloom.Back in 2014, Grande tweeted a photo of a ring given to her by her grandmother. It featured a pearl that was part of a tie pin that belonged to her late grandfather.
Some believe the pearl from that ring is the very same pearl now featured in her engagement ring."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.
