The story
Why this ring gets talked about
An old mine cut is the ancestor of the modern round brilliant: a cushion-shaped diamond with a high top, small table and larger facets, cut by hand before modern machinery. It gives broad, soft flashes of light rather than the bright, even sparkle of a modern cut. Swift’s publicist confirmed the cut to the Associated Press when the engagement was announced in August 2025.
The setting is as talked about as the stone: yellow gold with hand engraving on the shoulders and a small diamond either side. Kindred Lubeck, of Artifex Fine Jewelry, is known for hand engraving. Within days, jewellers reported a rush of requests for old cuts and engraved yellow gold.
What it means for you: old mine cuts are now in demand, and genuine antique stones are rare. Many jewellers cut new diamonds in the old style. Ask which you are buying, and expect a genuine antique stone to cost more and vary more than a modern cut.
