Taylor Swift’s engagement to Travis Kelce has already set social media alight, but it’s the dazzling ring on her finger that has experts calling it “exceptionally rare.”
The pop star, 35, and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end shared their happy news in a joint Instagram post on Tuesday, with Swift joking, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
The carousel of photos included Kelce down on one knee in a garden, with the pair surrounded by flowers. Swift wore a striped summer dress while Kelce sported a dark blue shirt and white shorts.
Now experts are weighing as we caught up with Sarah and Tiffany Rothschild, luxury jewelers and owners of Rothschild Diamond. “Taylor Swift’s ring looks like a 7-9 carat elongated Old Mine Cut, which is exceptionally rare,” they told us.
The gem dates back to the Georgian or Victorian eras of the 1700s and 1800s.
“Based on what we know, it appears to be near colorless and essentially flawless with a VVS1-VS1 clarity grade,” Sarah explained
“The stone is beautifully set in a one of a kind vintage inspired 18K Yellow Gold ring.”
The diamond duo, who regularly drape A-list stars in diamonds on red carpets, added: “because of their scarcity, large Old Mine Cuts often command higher prices than modern equivalents.
The ring is easily $700K+,” Tiffany added. “You’re not just paying for size – you’re paying for scarcity and history. Good work Travis.”

The diamond, which was reportedly designed by Kelce with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry in New York City, is already being tipped to spark a new trend. “Vintage cuts like this are definitely about to have their moment,” the Rothschilds predicted.
“They bring history and romance back into the diamond world. Just like Blake Lively’s Oval defined a whole era, Taylor’s ring feels like the start of the next big wave and we can easily see it taking over that trend.”
Swift and Kelce, both 35, announced their engagement after two years of dating.
The singer, one of the world’s biggest music stars, and the three-time Super Bowl winner have become one of the most high-profile couples on the planet since first being linked in 2023.
While fans gushed over the pair’s big news, experts say the engagement ring could quickly become as iconic as the couple themselves
