The sighting: London-based designer Cece Jewellery recently revealed a very special bespoke ring on Instagram: a custom piece designed as a gift for Taylor Swift.
The jewels: Cece Jewellery is known for gold signet-style rings with elaborate enamel details. The ring they created for Tayor Swift is an extremely detailed take on their signature style.
The front of the ring features an enamel portrait of Taylor Swift’s Time Magazine cover star cat, Bejamin Button, within a halo of tiny pearls and beneath two sparkling diamonds. One side of the ring features a heart with Swift’s lucky number, 13, while the other side has an 87, which is the signer’s boyfriend’s football jersey number.
This ring was made specifically for Taylor Swift, but the singer didn’t commission it herself. Instead, the piece was a gift from Swift’s close friend, supermodel Gigi Hadid. According to Cece Jewellery’s Instagram, the ring “is designed to keep [Taylor Swift’s] favorite things close.”
Cece Jewellery’s website doesn’t list pricing for bespoke rings, but their standard 18K yellow gold and enamel rings with a simpler version of this style start around $3,900.
The trends: The most important trends here are extreme personalization and meaningful symbolism. Loving hidden meanings is something that both Gen Z and Swifties of all ages have in common.
Don’t forget: it doesn’t matter whether or not a jewelry designer intended a piece to have a certain meaning. If the end consumer wants a piece to mean something, that’s a way for them to connect with the design and it should be encouraged!
What do we think? We love a girlie who gifts jewelry to her bestie, especially when the BFFs involved are mega-famous trendsetters! This ring is both lovely and thoughtful, and is sure to inspire countless Taylor Swift fans to dream up the symbols they’d want to include on a personalized ring for their own best friend.
I’ve been a fan of Cece Jewellery’s luscious enamel designs ever since they first popped up on my Instagram feed, and it delights me to see the designer getting a Taylor Swift level of exposure.
Judgement: 16/10 for a beautiful ring with sweet symbolism.
