For the special occasion, Swift dressed in a striped Polo Ralph Lauren dress, which has already sold out in all sizes. She accessorised with a Cartier diamond-encrusted Santos Demoiselle watch in 18k yellow gold, a pair of brown sandals, and her TNT bracelet by Wove – a gift from Kelce.
Swift – who has been dating the Kansas City Chiefs tight end for two years – has remained tight-lipped about her engagement, with rumours swirling that the pair have actually been engaged for weeks. But with the official announcement on Instagram on August 26, fans familiar with Swift’s love for Easter eggs are already playing detective, with Miss Americana’s ring being the most talked-about topic (despite her recently confirming that she would “never plant an Easter egg that ties back to my personal life” during an appearance on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast).
“Taylor Swift’s engagement ring appears to be an eight-carat elongated cushion cut set in rose gold,” says Tobias Kormind, managing director of Europe’s largest online diamond jeweller, 77 Diamonds. “The design exudes vintage elegance and elongated cushion cut has a timeless quality – paired with rose gold, it carries a distinctive romantic character.”
Kelce reportedly worked with jewellery designer Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry to design the unique ring. Here’s everything to know about the designer behind Taylor Swift’s engagement ring.
She learned the craft from her father
Lubeck is the daughter of Jay Lubeck, a goldsmith based in Neptune Beach, Florida, who’s been in the business since 1973. According to his Instagram, he specialises in “unique jewellery for the bold and brave” and “fine vintage treasures”.
