There's no hushing the buzz surrounding Taylor Swift's engagement ring. With Newsweek posting the ring could “change the trajectory of engagement ring trends,” Swifties and jewelry aficionados alike are captivated by its reported vintage-style design.
Get ready for an engagement ring era defined by heirloom vibes and antique-inspired aesthetics. At Lux Bond & Green, we'll lend a hand and help you discover a ring as romantic as Taylor's.
The ring: what we know
The intricacies of the Taylor Swift engagement ring all remain a closely guarded secret. Nonetheless, the trend inspired by Taylor's diamond has left couples dazzled by pieces that carry a story. Vintage-infused engagement rings now find themselves sparkling center stage.
To non-Swifties, it can be easy to overlook why Taylor's ring is attracting so much attention. Known for her profound influence on pop culture, from music to fashion and more, her rumored ring has the power to spark a years-long shift in what couples may seek in an engagement ring.
One particularly buzzworthy element is the ring’s old mine-cut diamond. With their romantic, hand-cut charm and antique flair, these diamonds reflect the very soul of Swift’s rumored engagement style. They are imperfectly perfect, deeply personal, and full of character.
Get the look
Ready to channel the elegance of Taylor's engagement ring? Getting the right feel primarily depends on the cut and metal.
Let’s talk cut and carat
Some cuts simply shine with antique-inspired charm. While the Round Brilliant Cut delivers an evergreen elegance and eye-catching sparkle, the Cushion Cut provides a romantic appeal with its rounded edges and soft design. Other cuts favored by couples include Princess cuts, Emerald cuts, and Marquise cuts.
But for true vintage aficionados, the old mine-cut diamond stands in a class of its own. With its high crown, smaller table, and soft, candlelit glow, this historic cut is regaining popularity thanks to Taylor’s ring. At Lux Bond & Green, we offer a curated selection of antique old mine-cut diamonds, along with modern versions that mirror their enchanting aesthetic.
When it comes to carat, size isn’t everything—especially in antique-inspired rings. Although large stones often invite awe, antique-inspired rings prioritize character and craftsmanship. Smaller diamonds with impeccable clarity and cut can out-sparkle a bigger stone with less brilliance when skillfully designed. This ethos captures a sentiment Taylor Swift embodies to fans: choosing meaning and artistry over the ornate.

Gold, clarity, and estate aesthetics
Reveling in the return of retro, many couples are favoring rings with 18k yellow gold settings to emulate a warm, old-world glow. When complemented by a diamond with remarkable brilliance and clarity, this combination creates a piece guaranteed to feel extraordinary.
Old mine-cut diamonds pair beautifully with these warm gold settings, as their antique proportions and soft sparkle create a cohesive, heirloom-worthy feel.
Another great option to explore is Lux Bond & Green's Estate Jewelry collection. Composed of heirloom treasures, our Estate collection features many handcrafted pieces with delicate carvings that are rare amongst modern ring designs.
Engagement rings Swifties will love
Feeling inspired by the rumored ring design? Here are a few additional setting styles that resonate with this antique-influenced trend.
Classic solitaires
Looking for vibes that are more vintage-light? Classic solitaires are timeless staples. Complemented by a platinum setting and 18k yellow gold band, this option bridges quaint charm with modern chic.
Captivating halo designs
Halo designs are elegant and eye-catching, adding a one-of-a-kind, ethereal glow to the center stone.
For fans seeking a piece that's Swift-symbolic, these styles can carry extra significance. A solitaire is iconic of individuality and strength. A halo can represent harmony, whereas vintage-inspired bands evoke legacy and lore—themes Taylor has seamlessly woven throughout her music.
