Kindred Lubeck earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from FSU in 2018. After graduating, she carried on her creativity by sharpening her engraving and goldsmith skills. She eventually moved to New York City and started her own brand, Artifex Fine Jewelry. 

Swift's engagement ring is an old mine brilliant-cut set on a gold band. The ring was reportedly designed with the help of Kelce.

The ring is estimated by jewelry experts to be worth between $675,000 to $1 million.

What they're saying:

"Taylor Swift’s engagement ring is a truly stunning vintage-style piece, featuring what looks to be a 10-to-12-carat-old mine-cut diamond set in yellow gold," Laura Taylor, a jeweler specializing in engagement and wedding rings at Lorel Diamonds, told FOX Local. "This cut is a hallmark of antique jewelry, dating back to the 18th century, and is known for its soft square shape and having a romantic glow rather than the sparkle we associate with engagement rings today. It’s a choice that feels rich in history and perfect for someone like Taylor, who we know loves deep and meaningful touches herself."
