Soon enough, however, details on the ring started emerging. It was revealed in multiple reports that the ring for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's special occasion was designed by a New York-based designer, Kindered Lubeck. She runs a boutique jewellery store in New York City.

Reports revealed that the ring features an eight-carat old-mine brilliant-cut diamond. An old mine brilliant-cut diamond is an antique diamond cut popular in the 18th–19th centuries, often considered the predecessor of the modern brilliant cut. The diamond ring is expected to cost somewhere in the range of 500,000 or more, experts revealed.
