This past August, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement on Instagram, garnering 37.5 million likes and counting. The post included a close up of the bride-to-be’s ring, reportedly designed by Kelce and Kindred Lubeck of NYC-based Artifex Fine Jewelry.
Elizabeth Doyle, co-founder of Doyle & Doyle in Manhattan, is an expert in antique and vintage jewelry. “Taylor Swift’s vintage-inspired engagement ring continues the trend of celebrity engagement rings that nod to historic designs (like Zendaya’s Georgian-inspired ring). Antique cuts have become increasingly popular as couples search for diamonds that feel unique and authentic,” Doyle shares. “Taylor’s elongated Old Mine cut diamond suits her perfectly. Its rounded rectangular shape flatters her long fingers beautifully, while the large facets create the romantic rainbow flashes so sought after in antique diamonds. The intricately engraved gold setting mixes old world hand techniques with a modern sensibility.”
