Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially engaged, and we’re not sure what surprised us more, the sudden engagement news or the cost of the singer’s new ring.
Swift and Kelce, both 35, shared the news in a joint Instagram post, captioned, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” They included photos of the proposal in which Kelce is seen down on one knee in front in a luscious garden filled with greenery and flowers.
The couple, who have been together since July 2023, also included a close-up snap of the ring, and experts have been quick to estimate how much it may cost.
How Much Does Taylor Swift’s Engagement Ring Cost?
According to jewelry experts, Swift’s engagement ring may cost anywhere from $125,000 to $1 million.
Of course, the staggering amount is only a drop in the ocean of Swift’s wealth. The singer is estimated to have a net worth of $1.6 billion, according to Forbes.
Kelce worked with jewelry designer Kindred Lubeck and Artifex Fine Jewelry. Swift’s engagement ring includes a large Old Mine Brilliant Cut diamond, a rectangle-cut diamond that gives an antique aesthetic.
“The gold band appears to be engraved, possibly with tiny stars, which adds a whimsical detail that makes the ring feel like a love letter in jewellery form,” Laura Taylor, a jeweler at Lorel Diamonds said in a statement to SheKnows. “That kind of personal touch suggests it could be an antique or family ring, or that Travis worked with a jeweler who specializes in meaningful vintage-inspired design.”
“If the diamond is natural and of exceptional quality, possibly in the D to F colour range with excellent clarity, it could easily be worth between $675,000 to $1 million, although if it is a family heirloom, its true value would be impossible to put a number on,” she says.
Zack Stone, a diamond expert at UK jeweler Steven Stone, estimated the ring to be $700,00. “The bold diamond, combined with the warm glow of yellow gold, gives it a timeless quality. It feels like a perfect match for Taylor. She often embraces vintage romance in her artistry, particularly during her ‘Folklore’ and ‘Evermore’ eras,” he says.
Meanwhile, Ann Grimmett, VP of Merchandising at Jared Jewelers, has a slightly lower estimate. “The cut and clarity look very good from the photos, so my estimate is that this ring would cost approximately $250-500k,” she says.
Swift and Kelce started dating in July 2023 after meeting at her Eras Tour, shortly after Kelce had expressed his desire to take the singer on a date during an episode of his New Heights podcast.
