Taylor Swift’s Engagement Ring Designer Speaks Out on Public Reaction to Diamond

Taylor Swift’s engagement ring designer is sharing an inspiring message.

Days after the “Bejeweled” singer announced that she and Travis Kelce are set to exchange vows, Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry detailed the journey that led her to craft the breathtaking diamond.

“My name is Kindred Lubeck,” she said in a video posted on Instagram Aug. 29. “I’m 30 years old, I started making jewelry in the summer of 2019. I was 25.”

From there, the jeweler encouraged viewers to follow their passions no matter what.

“I believe that if someone says you can’t do something, you should prove them 110 percent wrong,” she continued. “I think when one door closes, you should kick the next one down. I think that if you have a dream, you should never, ever quit.”

Kindred ended the video with a message of gratitude to her followers—which included a nod to a track from Taylor’s 2010 album Speak Now.
