Taylor Swift's Engagement Ring: Get Her Timeless Cushion Cut Look

Elongated Cushion Cut Moissanite Engagement Ring, Plain Band With Hidden Halo

Taylor Swift has sent her millions of fans into a frenzy with the announcement of her engagement to American football player Travis Kelce. The news broke via a single, five-picture Instagram post that was instantly met with an outpouring of congratulations and over 13 million likes.

A Love Story for the Ages

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s love story began to unfold after Kelce publicly expressed his interest in her on his podcast, New Heights, revealing that he had tried to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it after one of her Eras Tour shows.1 While the initial attempt was unsuccessful, the gesture went viral and eventually led to the two connecting. 

They began seeing each other privately in the summer of 2024 before making their relationship public in the fall. Before her relationship with Kelce, Swift was in a six-year relationship with British actor Joe Alwyn. Her love life has been a frequent subject of public interest and media speculation, but this is the first time she has announced an engagement.

In the now-viral post, Swift shared the news with a simple, witty caption: "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married". This one-liner, followed by a firecracker emoji, accompanied a series of photos chronicling the happy moment.

The images show Kelce on one knee proposing, followed by the couple embracing and gazing into each other's eyes. Swift's engagement ring is prominently featured in the photos, with her also wearing a Ralph Lauren halter-neck dress and a diamond-encrusted Cartier watch.

Taylor Swift's Timeless Engagement Ring

While the love story is captivating, it's the ring that's become a major talking point among jewelry experts and fans alike. The ring's striking yet classic design features a stunning elongated, old mine cushion cut diamond set on a yellow gold band.

What is a Cushion Cut Diamond?

The cushion cut is one of the oldest and most classic diamond shapes, with a history dating back to the 19th century. A cushion cut diamond is a square or rectangular shape with rounded corners, giving it the appearance of a pillow or a cushion. This unique cut combines the brilliance of a modern round brilliant cut with a vintage charm, making it a popular choice for those who desire a ring with both sparkle and a touch of history.

Taylor Swift's Engagement Ring Dupe

For those who adore the look of Taylor's ring but are looking for a more accessible option, many jewelers now offer high-quality alternatives, often referred to as "dupes." These rings capture the same elongated cushion cut style and vintage feel without the hefty price tag.

Through our brands Flawless Moissanite and Flawless Lab Diamonds you can get a similar diamond to Taylor’s in either dazzling Moissanite or a real Lab-Grown Diamond at a fraction of the price. 

Our Elongated Cushion Cut Moissanite Engagement Ring, Hidden Halo is a ring similar to Taylor Swift’s elongated cushion cut diamond ring.  The cushion cut is a vintage style that combines a square or rectangular shape with rounded corners, giving it a soft, "pillow-like" appearance that matches our girl's ring perfectly.

Our Elongated Cushion Cut Moissanite Engagement Ring, Hidden Halo SKU: FLM7104US is a dupe to her elongated, old mine cushion-cut diamond set on a yellow gold band with a style twist. The diamond isn’t ‘old mined’ it’s an ethically made stone that gives a nod to Swifty style but without the price tag.

Taylor Swift's engagement ring from Travis Kelce features a timeless and elegant cushion-cut diamond. For those who adore this classic style with a bit more sparkle on the band, the Cushion Cut Moissanite Ring with Pavé Set Shoulders offers a beautiful alternative.

Media sources say that the pavé set was her second choice. Our suggestion is similar to Taylor's in its central element: a stunning cushion-cut stone. However, instead of a plain or simple yellow gold band, this design incorporates a pavé setting on the shoulders. A pavé setting is a technique where tiny diamonds are set closely together along the band, creating a continuous surface of sparkle. This differs from a hidden halo, which is a ring of small diamonds set underneath the center stone, visible only from the side, and is designed to enhance the brilliance of the main gem without being the focal point itself. The pavé set shoulders, in contrast, are an intentional and visible design element that adds a glittering accent to the ring's overall aesthetic.

For those who adore the look of Taylor Swift's cushion-cut ring, but are exploring alternatives, a beautiful and equally ethical option is a ring crafted with lab-grown diamonds. While moissanite offers exceptional brilliance at an incredible value, our sister brand, Flawless Lab Diamonds, specializes in creating engagement rings using lab-grown diamonds. These diamonds are chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds, offering the same classic look and feel. This gives you a choice between the fiery sparkle of moissanite and the traditional beauty of a lab-grown diamond, both of which are ethical, conflict-free, and available in the same stunning cushion-cut style.

Taylor Swift's ring is known for its elongated cushion-cut diamond, and our Elongated Cushion Cut Lab Diamond Engagement Ring SKU: FLD7114US with a Hidden Halo offers a perfect match to this style. What makes our ring unique is the delicate hidden halo of diamonds, which adds a subtle but brilliant sparkle to the setting. While Taylor's ring has a plain band, the hidden halo on our design offers a touch more brilliance without taking away from the stunning beauty of the center diamond.

Our Elongated Cushion Cut Lab Diamond Stone Set Shoulder ring offers a stunning take on Taylor Swift's classic engagement ring. While Taylor's ring features a plain yellow gold band, this ring stands out with its shimmering diamond-set shoulders, which provide extra brilliance and a touch of modern glamour. The design perfectly captures the same elegant, elongated cushion-cut diamond that she wears. As a bespoke, made-to-measure ring, it can be customized to your preference in yellow, rose, or white gold, allowing you to create a piece that is as unique as your own love story.

The Elongated Cushion Cut Lab Diamond Engagement Ring with a Hidden Halo SKU: FLD7125US, especially when crafted in yellow gold, is a choice that speaks to both classic elegance and modern trends. Yellow gold has made a significant comeback in engagement rings, often chosen for its warm, traditional aesthetic that complements a wide range of skin tones and adds a vintage touch to the ring's overall design. 

While the hidden halo provides a contemporary surprise of sparkle, the yellow gold setting grounds it in timeless sophistication. All three colors of gold are alloys, meaning they are a blend of pure gold and other metals. Yellow gold gets its classic hue from being mixed with silver and copper. White gold is created by alloying pure gold with white metals such as palladium, silver, and nickel, which gives it a bright, silvery-white appearance. Rose gold gets its distinctive blush tone from a higher concentration of copper in its alloy. Each metal offers a unique look, but yellow gold’s current popularity is a testament to its enduring charm and ability to make a diamond look truly magnificent.

Celebrity Ring Trends

Swift isn't the only celebrity to fall for the romantic allure of a cushion cut diamond. This classic style has graced the hands of many stars, including:
