Taylor Swift once sang she’d get married with paper rings, but this one is anything but paper.
Swift announced her engagement to football star Travis Kelce in an Instagram post on Tuesday, where she showed off her new ring.
Benjamin Khordipour, a jewelry expert at New York City-based Estate Diamond Jewelry, said the ring is an “antique elongated cushion” that weighs in at about eight karats. He estimated the stone, which is set in Victorian-style gold mounting, likely cost around $550,000.

“You can see antique style, yellow gold mounting, needlepoint prongs with some diamonds on the shoulder, and engravings on the shoulder,” Khordipour said. “It’s really something amazing.”
For Khordipour, the rarity of the stone is what makes it stand out as his “favorite” ring he’s seen so far this year.
“It’s very unique. It’s not something you’ll see on anyone else’s hand,” he said, noting the antique cushions of that size and shape are difficult to source.
The choice also fits Swift’s personality, he added.
“She’s very unique, very alternative, so this makes complete sense. I would never think of her getting something standard.”
Antique and vintage styles have surged in popularity in recent years, and Khordipour said Swift’s choice is on-trend.
“For antique jewelers, it’s really something amazing… the trend is vintage and antique, so I’m happy she went with it.”
