What truly caught audiences’ attention, however, was Swift’s engagement ring. According to NBC News, Kelce collaborated with Artifex Fine Jewelry to design a custom engagement ring featuring an elongated old mine brilliant cut diamond, estimated to be eight to ten carats.
While most can only aspire to hit that carat range, there are still plenty of attainable elements to draw inspiration from the singer’s ring. This custom engagement ring notably featured many vintage-inspired elements, which could potentially reflect upcoming engagement ring trends.
1. Old Mine Cut Diamonds
What stands out the most about Swift’s ring is its vintage-inspired brilliant old mine cut diamond center. With a history dating back to the 1800’s, old mine cut diamonds are hand-cut, featuring 58 facets, an overall squarish shape and rounded corners. They are also typically a warmer color with less uniformity than modern diamond cuts.
Considered the “grandfather” of today’s modern brilliant cuts, it was an especially popular choice during the Georgian and Victorian era. With such a deep history and unique look, an old mine cut diamond can give your engagement ring a style that feels both vintage and deeply romantic.
2. A Yellow Gold, Bezel Setting
Swift’s ring also features vintage-inspired elements in its setting. The bezel setting is one of the oldest jewelry styles in history. It is also one of the most durable and protective settings, with metal surrounding the entire diamond, making it a great choice for those who are very active. And despite the trendiness of yellow gold engagement rings, accounting for 36% of all engagement rings in 2024, yellow gold is also one of the oldest jewelry styles,with origins in ancient Egypt. Yellow gold is also known for its durability, with a variety of options available ranging from 10k gold, 14k gold, 18k gold, 22k gold and more.
3. Natural Diamonds
A defining feature of Swift’s ring is that it was created with a jeweler who is noted to only craft jewelry with natural stones. Natural diamonds carry the same sense of history, elegance, and unique character as other vintage-inspired engagement ring elements, making them a perfect complement to unique, but timeless designs.
