As we recover from the news of Taylor Swift’s engagement we must admit we are still thinking about the ring.
In keeping with her style, the piece itself is a romantic nod to the past: an antique Old Mine cut diamond set in yellow gold, chosen for it’s imperfect charm and heirloom quality.
It’s by no means the kind of hyper-polished, refined, glossy diamond we often see in celebrity proposals. But the trend is certainly cropping up more these days, with the likes of Natalie Portman, Mary-Kate Olsen and Nina Dobrev showcasing the same cut.
In Taylor Swift’s case, it reflects her enduring love of storytelling and nostalgia. Much like her music, the ring is layered, whimsical and little unexpected. An old-world style that feels as timeless as it does modern. As signature gemologist Ali Galgano reveals, this trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
“We received hundreds of inquiries about antique cushion diamonds within 24 hours of Taylor’s ring reveal. This isn’t just about bigger stones, it’s a shift toward personalised, romantic designs that feel handcrafted and one-of-a-kind”.
And naturally, it hasn’t taken long for fellow fans (and jewellers) to start searching high and low for their own versions. From lab-grown solitaires to moissanite ovals, there are plenty of affordable, aesthetic rings to capture the same vintage-romantic essence.
We’ve done the hard work and found a curated list of some picks that give the same poetic, Taylor energy. Below are eight options to show your partner when you’re ready to shop.
