Taylor Swift's Engagement Ring: Carats, Cost, Designer & How To Get the Look
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement on August 26, 2025, with a joint Instagram post, giving fans their first clear glimpse of Taylor Swift’s engagement ring and sparking a global hunt for details. Early reports confirm Kelce collaborated with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewellery on a vintage-inspired design. Keep reading this blog to find out more about Taylor’s stunning engagement ring.
What does Taylor Swift’s engagement ring look like?
The centre stone is an antique, old mine cut, often known as an elongated antique cushion, set in yellow gold with delicate engraving. Close-ups make it appear bezel-set, although jewellers note it’s a clever hybrid design: four fine talon claws hold the diamond in a gold basket with a slim rim that creates the visual impression of a bezel. The overall effect is romantic, heirloom-leaning and very Taylor.

Because the exact specifications haven’t been released, experts are estimating from photos. Credible ranges place the centre stone somewhere between 7 and 10 carats, with many settling around 8-10 carats once finger coverage and proportions are taken into account. Although these estimates are dependent on photo angles, cropping and finger size each photo keeps us all guessing this stunning diamond's details.
How much is Taylor Swift’s engagement ring?
Valuations for antique stones of this size and rarity vary widely. Most jewellery commentators suggest roughly 1.5 million and 2 million USD, while a few outliers go higher due to the one-of-a-kind old mine cut and celebrity provenance.
