Taylor Swift has announced her engagement to Travis Kelce, sharing a series of pictures, including one of the ring, on Instagram.
The post was accompanied by the caption: Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.
Not every English teacher can afford a diamond ring costing six or even seven figures, however.
Fans and curious onlookers have been sharing their opinions on the proposal and the eye-catching ring.
Kelce is reported to have designed the ring with a jeweler, with its vintage-inspired style seeming to match the aesthetic of Swift's newly announced album The Life of a Showgirl.
Industry experts have estimated it could cost anywhere from £500,000 up to £4 million, said Ruth Faulkner, the managing editor for Retail Jeweller magazine. The diamond looked to be an 8 to 10-carat vintage stone, which Ms. Faulkner said is quite rare for an antique piece.
Jewelry journalist Rachael Taylor noted that the softer sparkle on the stone was likely due to its being an antique cut by hand rather than by machine.
She added that Swift’s ring plays into a trend towards vintage styles with different cuts and oversized stones, fitting into the singer’s romantic aesthetic.
Stars like Zendaya and Dua Lipa are also showcasing larger and more expressive engagement rings, setting the stage for a new era in bridal jewelry.
