Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement on Tuesday, August 26, sharing a series of photos from the magical moment of the proposal with Instagram followers, where the stunning engagement ring stands out.
Kelce chose a unique " Old Mine " -cut diamond with an elongated shape, set on a thin 18-karat yellow gold ring. This custom creation was made in collaboration with jeweler Kindred Lubeck of A rtifex Fine Jewelry in New York, known for his handcrafted jewelry and use of natural stones. The ring is estimated to be worth between $500,000 and $1 million, due to its quality and unique design.
The proposal took place at a private garden in Lee's Summit, Missouri, about two weeks ago. As Travis' father revealed, the couple immediately called their families to share the news, while they spent the evening with an intimate dinner, cooked by Taylor herself.
In the photos posted, the singer appears in a striped silk Ralph Lauren dress ($398), which sold out immediately after publication, a Panthère de Cartier diamond watch, leather sandals and the friendship bracelet that Kelce gave her for Christmas. Travis had chosen an elegant but simple outfit: a black polo shirt and white pants.
The romantic backdrop for the proposal was created by Sarah Burch of EverWild Florals in Kansas City. She said she used pink, coral, and white flowers to represent Swift's romance and sensitivity. The cost of the floral arrangement was estimated to be between $10,000 and $15,000.
Swift and Kelce's romance began in the summer of 2023, when the football player revealed on a podcast that he had tried to give the singer a friendship bracelet during the Eras Tour. She was then frequently seen at Kansas City Chiefs games , following Kelce's success all the way to Super Bowl 58.
