The couple shared intimate images of the big moment when he got down on one knee surrounded by hundreds of roses in a stunning grove garden.
However, they also shared an image of her huge diamond sparkler as Travis carefully held her hand to the camera.
Now, the details of Taylor’s the giant ring have been revealed.
According to Page Six, Taylor is sporting an old mine brilliant-cut ring from Artifex Fine Jewelry.
Old mine cut diamonds were especially popular in the 18th and 19th centuries and each one is completely unique.
They are hand-cut and are known for their cushion-like shape, rounded corners and chunky facets – and no two are alike.
The outlet reported that the accessory was co-designed by Kindred Lubeck and Travis himself.
Usually, Lubeck’s rings for Artifex Fine range in price but they start from $4,300 dollars for a a signet style with a North Star motif.
The 5.02-carat old mine cognac diamond design would have set the player back $38,000.
But gem experts told the publication that Taylor’s ring – with featured a North-South setting within a gold band – was a custom design.

Experts advised that the huge ring could be worth between $750,000 up to $1 million.
The ring, while large, appears to be much smaller than that of the massive 37-carat sparkler Cristiano Ronaldo gave to longtime love Georgina Rodriguez earlier this month.
In 2024, Lubeck told Voyage Jacksonville in an interview: “I am a goldsmith specializing in hand engraving (think of it as tattooing rings – a lot of people confuse engraving with ‘etching’)
“Basically, I take very small, sharp instruments and cut away bits of metal, usually on the sides of rings, into a particular design.”
But The U.S. Sun’s expert George Khalife, also known as George the Jeweler, revealed that the ring could cost even more.
