Fans Spot Travis Kelce’s Hidden Engraving On Taylor Swift’s $1M Engagement Ring

Taylor Swift’s engagement to Travis Kelce is already dominating headlines, but fans think the love story goes even deeper than what’s on the surface. 

Swifties now believe Kelce added a hidden symbol to the gold band of the sparkling vintage-inspired engagement ring he designed for his fiancée. 

The apparent engraving, eagle-eyed fans speculated, could be a subtle Easter egg nodding to the pair’s couple name.

After the pair revealed their engagement with a romantic garden proposal shared on Instagram, fans immediately started zooming in on photos of Swift’s ring.

On TikTok, some claimed to spot the faint engraving of a “T” on the side of the engagement ring’s thick gold band. “I think I see a T,” one commenter wrote, while another agreed: “Good spot! It really looks like it.”

Others even compared the supposed engraving to Swift’s own monogram letterhead, the same design she used when announcing the purchase of her masters in May. 

“I wonder if Travis saw this on her website and took the design to the jeweler,” one Reddit user speculated.

Taylor’s engagementring features a massive old mine brilliant-cut diamond. According toPage Six, old mine cut diamonds are particularly valuable and unique because no two are alike.

The ring was co-designed by Kelce and Artifex Fine Jeweler Kindred Lubeck, who specializes in hand engraving.

With this in mind, it would not be surprising if the NFL star included several references to their relationship on Taylor Swift’s engagement ring.

While reps for Swift and Kelce haven’tcommented on the apparent secret detail, fans are convinced that the ring is layered with symbolism for the couple.

@melaniecaseyjewelry MELANIE’S HOT TAKE:  It’s the engagement ring everybody’s talking about and you can trust Melanie to call it like she sees it. What does she predict is going to explode in the wake of the engagement heard around the world? It’s all about antique-inspired aesthetics, bezel settings, and cushion cuts. While we wish we made this one, we can’t take credit, but we can definitely admire it with you all! Congratulations @taylorswift and @traviskelce! #taylorswift#taylorswiftring#taylowswiftengaged#cushioncut#antiquediamonds♬ original sound – Melanie Casey Jewelry

This was not the first time that Travis Kelce gave Taylor Swift customized jewelry

The Kansas City Chiefs star has a history of giving Swift personalized jewelry. 

In 2023, he gifted her a $6,000 diamond friendshipbracelet by Wove that included their initials and the inscription “TNT,” which quickly became the couple’s signature nickname.

The TNT branding even made its way into their official engagement announcement. 

The pair captioned their joint Instagram post with “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” as well as a TNT emoji.

Experts estimate theengagement ring could have cost as much as $1 million. In a comment toBrides, Benjamin Khordipour of Estate Diamond Jewelry praised the delicate craftsmanship of Taylor’s engagement ring.

“The style of the ring is definitely a throwback to the Victorian Era, with the beautiful delicate and decorative gold work. Taylor Swift was proposed to with a stunning elongated antique cushion-cut diamond that is approximately eight carats, F color, and VS1 clarity.”

“The ring was handcrafted in 18k yellow gold and the center diamond is set with needle point prongs that perfectly match the antique style. Smaller diamonds and hand-engravings adorn the shoulders of her setting,” Khordipour said.

Khordipour also noted that Taylor Swift’s engagement ring is his favorite celebrity sparkler this year so far.
