Chicago, ILLocal News

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce joyfully announced their engagement through a mid-day Instagram post, which captured the attention of fans and media alike. The couple's post included a carousel of five photos, showcasing Swift's elaborate engagement ring, expected to inspire future bridal trends. Jewelers predict that Swift's ring, featuring an elongated cushion-cut diamond and ornate gold band, will lead to increased requests for similar vintage-inspired designs. Experts estimate the diamond could weigh between 8-10 carats and speculate on its vintage mine-cut characteristics due to its unique faceting. Local jewelers emphasize that while elongated stones are not always readily available, they can still be sourced for interested buyers.

The trend follows previous celebrity engagements, where requests for specific styles surged. Jewelers are already preparing for an uptick in demand for the elongated diamond cut, which has gained popularity in recent years.
