Who is Kindred Lubeck? Designer of Taylor Swift’s $1M Engagement Ring!

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially engaged — and the internet can’t stop buzzing. While the announcement itself set social media ablaze, fans quickly turned their attention to the dazzling engagement ring on Swift’s finger and the designer behind it.

Taylor revealed the engagement in a surprise social media post on August 26, 2025, with a close-up picture of her hand showcasing the stunning diamond. The ring features a large cushion-cut Old Mine Brilliant diamond set in a gold band, designed by emerging jeweler Kindred Lubeck. While the exact price of Swift’s ring remains undisclosed, pieces from Lubeck’s brand Artifex Fine Jewelry range from $4,300 to $38,300.

So, who is Kindred Lubeck? The young jeweler is the daughter of master goldsmith Jay Lubeck, based in Neptune Beach, Florida. She began her jewelry journey in 2019, initially crafting silver pieces before moving into gold designs during the pandemic. By 2024, she launched her own boutique, Artifex Fine Jewelry, in New York, specializing in hand-engraved creations. Kindred has openly shared that her “jewelry idol” is veteran goldsmith Kent Raible, renowned for his intricate gold granulation work.

With over 260,000 TikTok followers, Kindred has now skyrocketed to global recognition thanks to Swift’s ring. Fans are calling it “the most anticipated engagement ring in modern memory.”

As for the proposal, sources reveal Travis Kelce popped the question in a romantic garden filled with florals, greenery, and a chandelier-lit gazebo. Swift kept it chic in a Polo Ralph Lauren dress with Louis Vuitton shoes, while Kelce opted for a simple black polo and loafers. After months of speculation, the NFL star finally sealed the deal, making headlines worldwide.
