Taylor Swift’s engagement to Travis Kelce was unveiled with a reveal as poetic as her lyricism, a close-up of her ring moment that quickly became headline news. Designed collaboratively by Kelce and jewelry artist Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry, this isn’t just a sparkler, it’s a beautifully crafted heirloom. Experts describe it as an elongated antique cushion-cut (or old mine-cut) diamond, set into 18K yellow gold with delicate engraving and needle-point prongs that evoke bygone eras.
Estimates of the ring’s size and value vary, with most landing between 7 to 10 carats. Ann Grimmett, VP at Jared, puts the basic range at $250,000–$500,000, while some experts, noting the stone’s pronounced length and unique detailing, push estimates closer to $1 million. A more maximal valuation from celebrity jeweler George “George the Jeweler” Khalife even suggests the diamond could approach 20 carats, with a possible price tag between $3.5 to $5 million.
