Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift certainly didn't get married with paper rings.
More than a month after their lavish wedding weekend, Kelce and Swift have been photographed sporting their new wedding bands in public. When Kelce, 36, arrived at the Kansas City Chiefs' first preseason game on Saturday, Aug. 15, he sported a gold ring on his left hand.
Meanwhile, across the globe, Swift, 36, stepped out in the English countryside to attend the wedding of mix engineer Oli Jacobs and recording engineer Laura Sisk, both of whom Swift has worked with. Close-up photos, first released by DeuxMoi on Sunday, Aug. 16, showed a wedding band resting just below her unmissable engagement ring.
The bride's gold ring appears to complement her iconic engagement ring,
which Kelce presented during a romantic, rose-adorned proposal last August.
While the designer of the couple's wedding rings has not been disclosed, the NFL star worked with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry to design Swift's single-stone, elongated-cushion, antique-style engagement ring.
Some details from Kelce and Swift's Fourth of July wedding weekend have trickled out through guests who allegedly signed nondisclosure agreements, though the couple themselves haven't released photos and have shared scant information about their nuptials.
They confirmed through Swift's publicist that the bride and groom's attire was Christian Dior Haute Couture, designed by creative director Jonathan Anderson, and Jason performed best man duties while Swift's brother, Austin, was the man of honor. The ceremony was officiated by Kelce's "Happy Gilmore 2" costar Adam Sandler.
Kelce offered his first public comments during training camp on Aug. 12, telling reporters, "Wedding was the best night of my life" and "I appreciate everybody who came out and celebrated and had fun with us."
Taylor Swift's engagement ring details
Following Kelce and Swift's 2025 engagement, Jared Jewelers' VP of Merchandising Ann Grimmett told USA TODAY via email that her engagement ring is "traditional with a modern flair" with a center stone that "appears to be a bezel set 7 to 9 ct elongated old mine cushion cut, set in 18k yellow gold."
"The cut and clarity look very good from the photos, so my estimate is that this ring would cost approximately $250-500k," Grimmett said.
Jeweler Laura Taylor of Lorel Diamonds guessed $675,000 to $1 million, while Nadine Tacorian Arzerounian, co-owner and head of design at luxury jeweler Tacori, estimated $500,000, noting that the diamond's rare shape and size make it difficult to be exact.
"The reason it's so difficult to give a hard cost on it is that it's an old mine cut, so it's an antique diamond," she told USA TODAY at the time. "They're really rare; there are not that many out in the market, especially if it's around an 8-carat."
Now that Swift has her brand new wedding band, the big question is: Will she continue to wear her luxurious engagement ring as part of her ring finger stack? Or will she keep it simple with just the band?
Only time will tell, but knowing Kelce's flair for the occasional flashy statement piece, we can assume there'll be more milestone jewelry in Swift's future.
