Taylor Swift’s Engagement: The Diamond Everyone Is Talking About
When Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement, the world’s attention, including ours, immediately turned to the stunning diamond on her finger. Jewelry enthusiasts, gemologists, and fans alike wanted to know every detail about her ring, from the style of the setting, the overall design, and most importantly, the diamond.
What Is an Old Mine Cut Diamond?
Taylor Swift’s engagement ring features an old mine cut diamond, estimated to weigh anywhere from eight to 10 carats. First introduced in the 18th century, the old mine cut is considered one of the earliest forms of the modern brilliant cut, holding deep roots in jewelry history.
What Makes the Old Mine Cut Special?
What makes the old mine cut so distinctive, and why Taylor’s ring has captured such attention, is its romantic, vintage feel. Unlike modern brilliant cuts optimized for maximum sparkle, old mine cuts were hand crafted centuries ago to glow in candlelight. Their noticeably larger facets, higher crowns, and open culets create broad, warm flashes of light that feel softer and more intimate than the icy brilliance of today’s diamonds.
