According to Benjamin Khordipour of Estate Diamond Jewelry, as reported by Brides, the sparkler is an elongated antique cushion-cut diamond, weighing approximately eight carats with an F color and VS1 clarity. The diamond is set in handcrafted 18k yellow gold with needle-point prongs, while smaller stones and delicate engravings line the band. “The style of the ring is definitely a throwback to the Victorian Era, with beautiful, decorative gold work,” Khordipour explained. He even called it his favorite celebrity ring of the year.
Experts estimate the value of Swift’s engagement ring at around $550,000, though the sentimental design and antique craftsmanship arguably make it priceless to the star.

In the proposal snaps, Kelce chose a floral-focused, romantic setting to pop the question. The couple, who began dating in 2023, has become one of the most closely followed celebrity pairings of the last two years.
Their relationship has played out in the public eye, from Swift cheering on Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs, most memorably during their Super Bowl LVIII win, to Kelce showing his support throughout Swift’s billion-dollar Eras Tour. They’ve also appeared together on Kelce’s podcast New Heights, where Swift recently teased her upcoming 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl.
In his GQ cover profile, Kelce opened up about what makes their relationship real and it’s not just the romance, but the little grounding moments of everyday life. He described their connection as genuinely “organic,” explaining that beyond the spotlight, they’re simply two people in love, not a media construct.

Kelce also shared how Swift helps anchor him amid the frenzy of fame. Her presence keeps him centered, reminding him that at the heart of it all, they’re not defined by headlines, but by the values and mutual respect they share.
Their relationship has had plenty of public milestones. Swift was first spotted in Kelce’s family suite at Arrowhead Stadium in September 2023, when the Chiefs faced the Chicago Bears. She became a fixture at his games, while Kelce returned the favor by attending Swift’s tour stops across the globe.
Now, with a ring that blends old-world craftsmanship and modern celebrity glamour, Swift and Kelce are stepping into their next chapter together. For Swift, known for weaving personal stories into her music, the engagement feels like the start of a brand-new era, one as dazzling as the diamond on her finger.
