One shot included a close-up of Swift’s stunning sparkler, designed by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry, which Page Six was the first to report.
Though the size of the diamond was not immediately available, the stone is an old mine cut, a style popular in the 18th and 19th centuries and characterized by a high crown.

“I really love old mines,” Lubeck said in an interview with Pass The Torch: Legacies in Jewelry earlier this year. “There’s just something so charming about them. You can tell they were cut by hand. They aren’t trying to be perfect.”
The gold setting boasts Lubeck’s signature style. “I am a goldsmith specializing in hand engraving,” Lubeck told Voyage Jacksonville magazine in 2024, describing what she does as “tattooing” the band.

“Basically, I take very small, sharp instruments and cut away bits of metal, usually on the sides of rings, into a particular design,” she explained. “People just go crazy for it.”
