Fans of Taylor Swift's vintage-style engagement ring can now own their own piece of jewelry handcrafted by the ring's designer, Kindred Lubeck. Sotheby's is auctioning off three one-of-a-kind rings by Lubeck, the goldsmith behind fine jewelry brand Artifix Fine Jewelry, at Sotheby’s Gem Drop Auction with bidding open Nov.
10–13. The collection of rings includes a 4-carat old mine diamond, an 8-carat cognac old mine diamond and a 5-carat blue sapphire, according to a press release from Sotheby’s. The pieces range in estimated value from $50,000 to $150,000. Each ring's gemstone is set in gold and features Lubeck's signature hand-engraving technique. “I’ve always been drawn to the details, the things that make a piece feel truly special. Hand engraving allows me to leave a piece of myself in every ring, transforming each gemstone into something unique that carries a story,” Lubeck said in a statement. Lubeck added that she was excited that working with Sotheby’s has given her the chance to “bring that level of care and creativity to a larger audience.” Swift's engagement ring made headlines after she and fiancé Travis Kelce shared close-up images in their joint engagement announcement Aug. 26 on Instagram. Lubeck worked with Kelce on the ring's design after the Kansas City Chiefs star learned Swift was fond of Lubeck's jewelry. Swift later revealed during an interview that when Kelce popped the question, she immediately knew who created the ring. Swift's ring features an old mine diamond in a brilliant cushion cut. The antique diamond is encased in both prongs and a button-back setting. It also features a thick gold cigar band, adding to the vintage feel. Lubeck called designing Swift’s engagement ring a “a pinch-me” moment during an Oct. 17 appearance on TODAY. “The fact that she recognized my work, that is such an incredible honor,” Lubeck said. “She said, ‘I know who made that.’ When I heard that, that was the most exciting thing.” “I feel so, so honored,” she added. Lubeck and Sotheby's are teaming up again in December when the auction house sells two additional rings she designed — a 5.14-carat Internally Flawless D color diamond and a 2-carat orangey pink diamond — at Sotheby’s High Jewelry sale on Dec. 9.
