Taylor Swift’s engagement ring made by Kindred Lubeck

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have announced they are getting married in an emotional social media post immediately receiving thousands of likes from devoted fans.

“Your English teacher and gym teacher are getting married,” Swift posted on Instagram this afternoon, much to the delight of her 280 million followers.

The engagement ring is an Old Mine Brilliant Cut from Kindred Lubeck at Artifex Fine Jewelry in New York.

Lubeck was once told she would never be a jewellery designer and that’s when - as she says on her website - she decided to be a jewellery designer. She is a goldsmith, hand engraver and vintage jewellery collector.

If there was any indication that Lubeck was a Swiftie, it would the release of The Vault Collection, a group of jewels that her company was working on for more than a year.

Lubeck’s announcement of the collection began with the phrase "from the vault," which may be a nod to Swift's previously unreleased songs that she is including in new releases of her her earlier albums.

"Before she embarks on seven weeks of intensive high jewelry-training, Kindred has decided to release these pieces into the world," the description of the collection reads.

"Each one was made to bring wonderment to the wearer. Because jewelry should be more than just beautiful, it should make you feel something."

It includes 11 unique antique- and vintage-inspired jewels, which range from $4,300 to $33,560.

Kindred Lubeck is the daughter of master goldsmith Jay Lubeck, who is based in Neptune Beach, Florida.

Lubeck joined her father's business in October 2019, she told Voyage Jacksonville Magazine in a 2024 interview. When the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020, the Lubeck showroom temporarily closed, but during this time, Lubeck and her father grew closer as he taught her the craft of goldsmithing.

Initially, Lubeck worked on silver pieces, but eventually she transitioned to gold like her father. She began to share her pieces on social media and quickly, she began receiving requests for engagement rings, she told Voyage Jacksonville.

By June 2024, Lubeck moved to New York City to open her own jewelry shop, Artifex Fine Jewelry.
