EXCLUSIVE Taylor Swift's engagement ring details: Jewelry experts predict how Travis Kelce's 'flashy personality' will influence his choice
Taylor Swift has been singing and fantasizing about this moment since she was a young teenager writing songs on her bedroom floor. Now, two years after meeting the love of her life, Travis Kelce, the pop titan, 35, may be on the brink of the fairy-tale proposal she's always dreamed of. Just weeks after a source told that the couple are 'all in' and her parents are prepared to give their blessing, speculation has reached a fever pitch that wedding bells may soon ring for the NFL star and the music industry powerhouse whose love story has captivated the world. To help paint a picture of what her dream ring might look like, multiple jewelry experts have shared their predictions, combining Swift's signature romanticism with Kelce's bold personality and the couple's larger-than-life love. Amid the buzz, Nilesh Rakholia, jewelry expert and founder of distinguished jeweler Abelini, offered insight into what Swift's future engagement ring might look like—and just how much it could cost. 'While specific details remain unconfirmed, a ring of this caliber would typically range from $1 million to $4 million,' Rakholia speculated to He also noted that the piece will be 'both personally meaningful and elegantly stylish, potentially with a vintage-inspired or classic feel, adorned with diamonds or other significant gemstones.' And as any Swiftie might hope, there could be more than meets the eye. Rakholia added: 'Knowing Taylor, the ring itself, or the way it's revealed, might contain subtle nods or 'Easter eggs' for her fans, perhaps relating to a significant date, a song lyric, or a shared symbol in her relationship.' Taking inspiration from her jewelry box, Rakholia highlighted her affinity for one timeless detail: 'Her collection prominently features yellow gold, a classic metal choice that could easily translate to an engagement ring.' 'While she embraces diamonds, often seen in pieces by high-end designers, she also shows a fondness for colored gemstones with personal significance, such as opals, rubies, and sapphires,' he emphasized. Over the years, the Love Story songstress has frequently worn stones with sentimental meaning, each one a possible clue to what could sparkle on that finger. Jaume Labro, CEO and goldsmith at Jaume Labro Godo Kaisha, believes Kelce's vibrant personality will help shape his ring choice. 'Travis's flashy personality and high-profile status as a singleton [may influence his decision],' he said. 'I would imagine the ring being big but good taste. That would place the cost in the $500,000 to $1 million bracket, depending on the quality of the diamond.' As for what he'd personally design? Labro imagines a stunner straight out of a fairy tale: 'If I were to design Taylor Swift's Travis Kelce engagement ring, I would have an antique cushion-cut diamond preferably 5 to 7 carats set in a rose gold or platinum setting. The cushion cut is an eternity, romantic diamond with soft, subtle edges that are so 'Taylor.' He continued: 'I can envision the center diamond surrounded by a halo of micro-pavé diamonds for extra sparkle without being too much, and maybe a hidden diamond or initials underneath the gallery—a secret she'd have all to herself.' To reflect her ultra-romantic style, Labro also imagines 'delicate details like filigree work, tiny star-set accent diamonds, or even floral motifs incorporated into the setting.' 'Taylor's style is consistently rooted in romanticism and vintage flair, whether she's on the red carpet or walking the streets of NYC,' he said. 'She gravitates toward ethereal, feminine looks—think lace, pearls, florals, and soft colors—which would lend themselves to an Edwardian or Art Deco-inspired ring.' Ashley Taylor, co-founder and head designer of Taylor Custom Rings, agreed that Swift's future sparkler will likely include 'subtle symbols, personal details, and artistic nuance.' 'A hidden halo could contain thirteen accent diamonds, or simple lyrics could be engraved inside the band of the ring,' she mused. 'I wonder if she might choose a private phrase or initials to engrave that stays just between them.' And because Taylor is never one to follow the crowd, she might even skip the classic diamond. 'With Taylor's creative personality, I wouldn't be surprised if her ring were surprisingly different from other celebrities' rings. A colored gemstone would definitely be an impactful way to depart from tradition and make a splash,' she said. Jason Arasheben, CEO of Jason of Beverly Hills, also expects something bold, noting the 14-time Grammy winner is 'going to want to stand out' and may even embrace the 'two stone trend.' Several other experts, including Julia Teachy Lemle, founder of Julieri Jewelry, agreed on one detail: 'Whatever stone she goes with, it is going to be big—very big.' Austin Willard, founder and CEO of Faithful Platform Fine Jewelry & Engagement Rings, offered his own vision of a perfect match. 'I could see her loving a 7–8 carat radiant or emerald cut diamond,' he said. 'I wouldn't try to bring in any colored gemstones or metal details that could make the ring design look too busy. A classic solitaire with some hidden details like a burnished gemstone or secret engraving on the inside of the band would be perfect for Taylor.' And while the rest of the world may be watching, Willard believes Swift might opt for something far more private than performative. 'Something more intimate and personal and understated,' he predicted. 'I could even see her wanting to use a diamond that had been passed down through their families for the sentimentality of it!' He also encouraged Kelce to 'lean into the details that can be personal to just the two of them and not visible on the outside of the band.' Because for Swift, her ring will most likely be a secret message that only her and Kelce will ever truly understand.

Taylor Swift makes sure to wear jewellery that catches eyes, like her T charm on her leg at the Grammys or an 87 pendant necklace to show love for Travis Kelce at the Super Bowl, and Swifties never leave a chance to turn the rumour mill on about about what the pop star's engagement ring might look.

The lavish £9.5m jewellery collection Princess Charlotte will inherit from Princess Kate
On Christmas Day 2024, Princess Charlotte caught the attention of royal fans by wearing a sweet necklace and a set of friendship bracelets. However, the pieces of children's jewellery that the nine-year-old daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales has so far been spotted wearing are just the tip of the iceberg compared to the collection she is set to inherit. Princess Kate, 43, possesses one of the most impressive collections of glittering jewels of all of the British royal style set. From pieces she has been gifted by her husband Prince William and sets she has inherited from her late mother-in-law Princess Diana, to the tiaras she has borrowed from the royal collection, Kate has turned heads with her countless glittering jewels since her royal wedding in 2011. Though the palace hasn't explicitly disclosed which pieces Charlotte will wear when she is older or inherit when the time comes, it is expected by royal fans that she will have the opportunity to delve into her mother's jewellery box when she is of age. Charlotte's paternal aunt Princess Anne wore her first tiara aged 17, so it won't be long before Prince George's younger sister is eligible for a glittering diadem. HELLO!got the lowdown on some of the most lavish pieces that Charlotte will likely inherit from a selection of industry-leading jewellery experts, as royal fans wait in anticipation of the young royal's tiara debut. The glistening tiara that the late Princess of Wales wore on her wedding day to King Charles in 1981 has featured in the jewellery collection of the Spencer family for decades. Kate and her sister-in-law Meghan Markle both wore royal tiaras on their wedding days, as the piece remains in the Spencer family collection. But as the granddaughter of Princess Diana, fans look forward to seeing if Charlotte will one day wear it. Jewellery designer Jessica Flinn tells us that the piece is estimated to be worth between £400,000 to £500,000 due to its "delicate yet striking design" crafted from silver and white diamonds. "It strikes a perfect balance between the extravagance we expect from royal jewellery and the gentle femininity we have come to associate with Princess Diana," she says. Both Kate and Princess Diana have worn the Cambridge Lover's Knot Tiara. It was commissioned in 1818 by Queen Mary and was crafted by renowned British jewellers, Garrard, as a replica of a piece owned by Princess Augusta of Hesse-Kassel. "The design consists of diamond-encrusted lover's knot motifs, symbolising love and unity," Nilesh Rakholia of Abelini tells us. "Crafted from diamonds and pearls and set in platinum, the tiara features 19 baroque pearl drops, each suspended from an arch of brilliant-cut diamonds." Estimated by experts to be worth between £1 million and £3 million, it's particularly eye-catching owing to the "graceful arches and dangling pearls which provide a dramatic yet delicate movement". Kate turned heads at the Earthshot Prize in Boston in 2022, accessorising her green Solace London gown with the Queen Mary emerald choker which was worn by Princess Diana during the 1985 Australia tour. Royal fans can look forward to the day Princess Charlotte dons the enchanting piece – either as a choke or a headpiece as her late grandmother did. Jewellery designer Poppy Elder says of the piece dating back to the Delhi Durbar Parure of 1911: "This choker is a perfect example of how royal jewellery evolves with each generation", adding that it's made from large cabochon emeralds set in platinum and diamonds, featuring Art Deco styling, and is worth between £500,000 and £1 million. The Princess of Wales made her tiara debut on her wedding day, borrowing the Cartier Halo tiara from the royal collection with the permission of the then-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth. "The tiara was first created as a gift for the Queen Mother in the 1930s and is a perfect example of the Art Deco jewellery design that was popular at the time, and has recently seen a resurgence in jewellery trends," Jessica Flinn tells us, estimating the tiara to be worth £1 million. "The piece features delicate detailing, complete with hundreds of round cut and baguette cut white diamonds, all set in luxurious platinum. The tiara's intricate scroll-like motifs create a light, delicate effect, making the tiara among the more understated and subtle pieces in the royal collection. If Princess Charlotte gets married there is no guarantee that she will follow in her mother's footsteps by wearing this tiara but if the opportunity arises, it is guaranteed the budding royal will wear it with the sense of poise she inherited from her mother." Among the pieces that were passed on from Princess Diana's collection to Kate were her blue sapphire and diamond drop earrings. Charlotte may well wear the earrings that her mother has worn on countless occasions, including to Trooping the Colour in 2022. "These earrings are estimated to be worth between £1.5 million and £2.5 million," jewellery expert Nilesh Rakholia tells us. "They feature oval-cut Ceylon sapphires, surrounded by brilliant-cut diamonds, arranged in a classic cluster design. They are set in white gold or platinum, enhancing the brightness of the diamonds and the rich colour of the sapphires." He adds that Diana's pairing of the earrings with her iconic sapphire engagement ring makes them even more iconic, not to mention how the combination of sapphires and diamonds exemplify timeless elegance. Diana's sapphire numbers are not the only classic drop earrings in her collection. She debuted the Diamond and South Sea pearl earrings during the coronation banquet of Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko of Japan in 1990 - 29 years before Charlotte's mother wore the exact pair to the 2019 BAFTAs. Jessica Flinn explains: "The earrings feature two beautiful South Sea Pearls of exceptional quality, their creamy white shine making them among some of the finest pearls in the world." "Set in platinum and encrusted with white diamonds, their regal, luxurious charm is undeniable," she adds, estimating the sparkling set to be worth £250,000 and £300,000. "The platinum and diamonds are masterfully crafted in a unique horseshoe shape with flowing leaf motifs, making them a truly exceptional piece in the royal collection and giving them an almost Art Nouveau feel." The Lotus Flower Tiara is perhaps one of the most versatile headpieces in the royal collection as it can be worn both on the forehead and the crown of the head. Jewellery designer Sophia Perez says: "The lotus flower motif is achieved through incredibly precise diamond placements, with each petal shape carefully defined. The platinum setting ensures durability while maintaining an airy, delicate structure." Meanwhile, Poppy Elder muses on the wearability of the piece for Charlotte: "Due to its light, delicate design, it is an ideal tiara for younger royals, making it highly likely Charlotte will wear it in her early tiara appearances." If Charlotte wears this £1 million piece, she will join her mother in continuing the legacy of Princess Margaret as well as the Queen Mother who received the piece as a wedding gift in 1923. Kate's jewellery box also features the Collingwood pearl and diamond earrings which once belonged to William's mother. The understated drop earrings have been paired with the Cambridge Lovers Knot tiara by both Kate and Diana, suggesting that Charlotte will one day add them to her own collection. "These earrings showcase expert gem selection - the pearls have a mirror-like sheen, and the diamonds are arranged to enhance that effect," Sophia Perez says of the earrings which are set with round and marquise-cut diamonds in white gold. "The marquise-cut diamonds add a delicate, leaf-like detail, giving the earrings a soft, organic feel." She estimates them to be worth around £100,000 to £150,000. Princess Charlotte has already shown that she likes to wear a dainty bracelet - take the gold piece she wore in the Royal Box at Wimbledon, for example. However, there is a certain heirloom piece that will elevate her collection tenfold when the day comes. Princess Diana dripped in pearls on an official visit to Hong Kong in 1989, rounding off her look with a three-row pearl bracelet which now belongs to Kate. William's wife wore the bracelet in 2017 during a reception at Berlin's Clärchens Ballhaus, highlighting it's timeless quality. "The uniformity of the pearls speaks to their quality—perfectly round, well-matched in size and lustre. The clasp isn't just functional but a piece of jewellery in itself, designed to add a hint of sparkle while remaining elegantly understated," Sophia tells us. Though it packs a punch visually, it is a more modest piece in the royal collection in terms of price. Sophia estimates the pearl bracelet to be worth between £30,000 and £50,000.
