Taylor Swift has shared photographs of her stunning engagement ring, which bears a similarity to the piece worn by Princess Eugenie.
The singer confirmed her engagement to American football player Travis Kelce in a social media post that featured her new jewellery.
Speaking about the ring, Zack Stone from UK jeweller Steven Stone said: “Many celebrities prefer to keep their engagement rings private, which is why it was such a delightful surprise to see Taylor proudly sharing hers on Instagram.
“Her ring features a striking 12-carat cushion-cut diamond – an elongated shape with softly rounded corners that balances brilliance with a romantic, understated elegance.
“The stone sits in a yellow gold setting, paired with a simple, polished band that lets the diamond take centre stage. In terms of design, the piece leans toward a vintage or antique-inspired aesthetic.
“The bold diamond, combined with the warm glow of yellow gold, gives it a timeless quality. It feels like a perfect match for Taylor. I’d estimate Taylor’s ring to be worth $700,000 (£518,000).”
Its overall appearance is similar to Princess Eugenie’s engagement ring, which was presented to her in January 2018 by her now-husband Jack Brooksbank.
Eugenie’s ring centres on a rare padparadscha sapphire, known for its pinkish-orange colour, surrounded by a halo of round brilliant diamonds with additional pear-shaped stones on each side.
Like Swift’s, Eugenie’s ring is set in yellow gold – a more traditional approach to a royal ring.
The similarity lies in the structure of the two pieces. Both are dominated by an oval or oval-like centre stone, and are not overwhelmed by the surrounding details.
The choice of yellow gold also sets them apart from other well-known engagement rings in the Royal Family.
Princess Kate’s engagement ring, once belonging to Diana, Princess of Wales, is the most recognisable royal example. That ring features a deep blue sapphire encircled by a cluster of diamonds, all set in white gold.

Meghan Markle, meanwhile, wears a trilogy diamond ring designed with a central stone from Botswana and two side stones taken from Diana’s collection. It was originally crafted in yellow gold, but Meghn later redesigned it in platinum.
Princess Eugenie’s ring, like Swift’s, is different from the more familiar royal designs, as both have a romantic and slightly old-fashioned quality.
Eugenie’s choice echoed her mother, Sarah Ferguson’s engagement ring, which also featured a coloured centre stone surrounded by diamonds.
While Swift’s and Eugenie’s rings differ in their gemstones, both carry a deliberate departure from conventional royal engagement rings.
