The Estimated Price Of Taylor Swift's Engagement Ring From Travis Kelce Might Surprise You
Taylor Swift is officially marrying NFL player Travis Kelce, after two years of dating. The celebrity power couple posted the news jointly on Instagram on August 26, 2005, with Swift showing off an engagement ring crafted by Kindred Lubcek at Artifex Fine Jewelry that, according to some jewelry experts, could potentially cost up to $5 million, if not more.
The musician is not known for scaling back when it comes to high end luxuries, including Swift's private suite at the Kansas City Chiefs' NFL stadium which costs somewhere in the range of $18,000 to $50,000 per game. Kelce's engagement ring is no exception. The ring is comprised of a solid gold band holding an at least 8 carat old mine brilliant cut diamond. The ring is potentially an antique from the early 18th century to the late 19th century thanks to its unique cut and special details — all of which sparkled in one particular announcement photo. While neither Swift nor Kelce have released the exact price details of the engagement ring, it is sure to be expensive.
Calculating the amount of money Swift's engagement ring might cost
Taylor Swift has high security costs that would give most people pause, but it is an expense she can easily afford, especially coming off her Eras tour which earned her roughly $2 billion and set the record for highest grossing ticket sales for a concert tour in history. Travis Kelce doesn't do too bad either, becoming the highest-paid tight end player in 2024 upon signing with the Chiefs for a $34.25 million two-year extension to his contract.
Page Six calculated that if Kelce were to spend a recommended two months of his regular salary earnings on a ring, it would put the rock on Swift's hand in the range of $5.75 million, with the most expensive old mine cut brilliant diamond listed for $38,300 on Artifex Fine Jewelry, as of August 2025. One of Swift's preferred jewelers in the past, Stephanie Gottlieb, told Vogue Magazine that the ring could be between 8 and 9 carats, which actually might put it closer to $400,000 to $800,000, give or take a few specifics like exact size, color, and clarity. Plus, per jewelry experts, no two old mine cut diamonds are ever alike, so the exact value of Swift's specific ring could be worth more than most depending on its history.
