Taylor Swift's 8-carat Old Mine diamond ring, dating back 120-140 years, is expected to renew interest in antique diamonds and boost auction attention this September.
- Earlier this week, Taylor Swift announced her engagement to Travis Kelce via a joint Instagram post, revealing an approximately 8-carat antique Old Mine diamond ring set on a gold band.
- Industry observers note searches for old mine cuts surged almost 10,000% overnight Wednesday, spotlighting Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry and vintage diamond styles.
- Auctions this season include the Fine Jewellery & Ladies Watches auction with previews next month and sale on September 9, plus Adam's Blackrock Jewellery & Watches online auction ending September 10; period-cut diamonds attract attention for their hand-polished, irregular shapes and studied histories.
- Industry sources say the market is moving toward chunkier bands and vintage-inspired designs as Kindred Lubeck's Artifex Fine Jewelry sold out and inquiries surged rapidly.
- Historic auction results — including a Christie's auction ring selling for $8,818,500 and experts estimating Swift's vintage ring between $3.5 million and $5 million — suggest strong collector demand and high valuations.
