As you’ve likely heard by now, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged.
Taylor shared the news on her Instagram page on Tuesday afternoon, along with some photos from Travis’ proposal, which seemed to take place at a garden party.
Naturally, the carousel of pics also included an up-close look at Taylor’s ring — and fans are losing their minds at the size of the rock.
Taylor’s new bling is one of a kind
And in case the situation wasn’t already romantic enough, we now know that Travis designed the ring himself!
Okay, he co-designed it with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry (per Page Six).
But that’s still a very hands-on approach, and we’re sure Taylor was bowled over by the effort.
According to Lubeck, old mine brilliant-cut diamonds were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, and no two are alike.
So exactly how much did this customized bit of old-school bling set Travis back?
Well, it’s tough to say exactly, as it’s hard to determine the carat size based on the photos provided.
Historically, Lubeck’s designs range in price from $4,300 to $38,000.
But gem experts tell Page Six that Taylor’s new ring might have cost up to $1 million due to both the size and the customization.
A bright and blinged-out future
Of course, the important thing is not the bling but the love between these two.
Insiders tell Us Weekly that Tay and Trav are “on the same page,” and “want to be married and have kids in the future. They’re both genuinely ready for that chapter.”
“Taylor and Travis have settled into a real rhythm as a couple, and the more time they spend together, the more they realize how aligned they are,” the source added noting that “Travis has the best personality. Taylor thinks he’s hilarious and is never bored with him.”
Another insider noted that this past summer really “solidified Taylor knowing that she wants to be with Travis forever,” and that “during this downtime, they really noticed all the little things they have in common. They feel like they’ve found their person…. They found a lot of common ground they were not expecting, and it made their relationship stronger.”
Adds the second source, “She leaves Travis love notes and buys sentimental gifts, and he does the same thing. [Taylor] never experienced that in a partner before Travis.”
It sounds like Taylor and Travis have a lovely future to look forward to. And they just took a major step together.
