Taylor Swift's engagement ring was designed by Travis Kelce: What to know
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are getting married, which means Swift is rocking an engagement ring -- and an impressive one at that.
Kelce designed the ring -- featuring an old-mine brilliant cut diamond -- with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry in New York City, ABC News has confirmed.
Among the five photos the couple shared of their proposal in an Aug. 26 Instagram post was an up-close photo of the "Love Story" singer's ring, showing the diamond accented by gold.
An old-mine cut diamond is known for having a "squarish" shape and a "distinctive" look, according to the Gemological Institute of America.
The gem's unique look stems from it having different proportions than most diamonds, including a "smaller table, larger culet and higher crown," according to the GIA.
The cut -- common in the early 1700s to late 1800s -- is described by the GIA as being a "great choice if you're looking for an engagement ring with antique or vintage qualities," which matches Swift's well-known vintage aesthetic.
Lubeck -- the designer who worked with Kelce on the ring -- is a goldsmith, hand engraver and vintage jewelry collector, according to her bio on Artifex Fine Jewelry's website.
On Lubeck's Instagram page, the designer describes herself as making "hand-engraved jewelry made with natural and captivating gemstones."
Swift and Kelce, a star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, have been dating since 2023.
The first public confirmation of their relationship came in September 2023, when Swift attended a Kansas City Chiefs game in Arrowhead Stadium alongside Kelce's mom, Donna Kelce.
The couple also recently opened up about their relationship in an episode of Kelce's "New Heights" podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce.
"He's just a vibe booster in everyone's life that he's in. He's like a human exclamation point," Swift said in the Aug. 13 episode, during which she also unveiled the release date and cover art for her 12th studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl."
In the caption of the joint Instagram post announcing their engagement on Tuesday, Swift lovingly wrote, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨."
