The internet was abuzz when Travis Kelce got down on one knee. Swifties and non-Swifties alike were posting meme after meme. Pictures circulated of the newly engaged couple standing in front of an enchanting garden filled with white and pink roses, looking like a scene from a fairytale. The question on many people's minds was "What does Taylor Swift's engagement ring look like?" Here's what a Davenport, IA, jeweler at Rosalee Jewelers has to say about it.
A Quick Overview of Taylor Swift Engagement Ring
Taylor and Travis didn't leave their fans wondering about the ring, not even for a minute. Part of their announcement to the world included close-up pictures of the famous Taylor Swift engagement ring, which experts estimate to be valued at $550,000. The antique-inspired design could increase that price even further.
The Diamond
Of course, Kelce selected a diamond as unique as the "Queen of Pop" herself. This antique old mine-cut elongated cushion shines with a muted gleam, but in just the right light, it'll illuminate and show its true radiance. Traditionally, a jeweler cut this style by hand, often by candlelight. Today, a jeweler can capture the same style with more precision using specialized tools and new-age techniques.
Unlike most diamond cuts that retain their sharp, crisp edges, an old mine-cut's outline softens over time, giving it a distinct charm. And the cushion shape has a warm, pillow-like glow that's more organic than precise.
How the Cut Compares to a Brilliant Cut
So how does this cut stand up to the competition? Compared to an old mine-cut elongated cushion, a brilliant cut has clean-cut facets that capture and reflect light from every angle, while Taylor's cut reflects light less intensely. The brilliant cut shines radiantly and demands attention from a distance. On the other hand, an old mine-cut is inviting and requires others to come close to appreciate its true elegance and luster.
How the Elongated Cushion Shapes the Diamond's Silhouette
With today's techniques and equipment, diamonds, even an old mine-cut, often wind up looking engineered. However, an old mine-cut diamond has a stretched shape that gives it a romantic, sophisticated appearance. The cushion's proportions, facets, and angles are slightly different from one another, which gives the diamond personality. Overall, both of these elements provide the diamond with a vintage feel.
