Swift on Tuesday announced she was engaged to her boyfriend of two years in a post that included photos of the couple embracing in a garden and a close-up of a ring gemologist appraiser Deborah Villepigue says looks to feature a diamond between 10 and 15 carats. The stone is an antique cushion-cut diamond with a D color grade—the highest on the scale—and likely a clarity of VVS1 or better, she said, in a yellow gold vintage setting with an estimated total value of about $650,000. Villepigue explained that because the diamond appears to be an antique, it is likely heavier and has a higher carat weight than a similarly sized diamond if it were cut today. She said it’s very possible the stone has a carat weight of 13—a number of significance to Swift that she has referenced dozens of times in her career (fans have already noticed her engagement announcement came on the 26th—13+13—and 13 days after her record-breaking appearance on Kelce’s podcast “New Heights,” which took place Aug. 13). Swift was also wearing what appeared to be a diamond-studded Cartier Santos Demoisells watch for the proposal, similar styles of which resell for upwards of $15,000.
