Overview
- Taylor Swift’s ring is widely described as an antique or old‑mine elongated cushion estimated at roughly 7 to 10 carats and reportedly co-designed with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine.
- A UK jeweler reports searches for old mine cuts jumped by nearly 10,000% overnight, making it the most queried diamond cut this month.
- Jewelers say inquiries spiked within 24 hours, with some receiving hundreds of messages from clients specifically asking about antique cushion stones.
- Valuation estimates vary sharply—from about $400,000 to $1.2 million—with experts stressing that color, clarity, provenance and exact carat weight remain unknown.
- Old‑mine cuts are rare, hand‑cut stones often dating to the 18th or 19th century, a look aligning with a broader celebrity trend toward larger, statement rings seen on Zendaya, Dua Lipa, Lauren Sánchez and Georgina Rodríguez.
