Diamond Expert Weighs In: Taylor Swift's Engagement Ring Not 10 Carats, But Still 'Super Rare'

Diamond Expert Clarifies Taylor Swift's Engagement Ring Size. New York, NY – Amid swirling speculation regarding the size of pop superstar Taylor Swift's rumored engagement ring, a leading diamond expert has offered a professional assessment, suggesting the widely reported 10-carat figure is inaccurate. Olivia, CEO of The Clear Cut and a GIA Graduate Gemologist with four generations of diamond expertise, stated in a recent video, "Taylor Swift's engagement ring is not 10 carats. My gut reaction is four to five carats, but I could be talked into six to seven carats." Olivia explained that carat weight denotes the diamond's physical mass and is not the sole indicator of its visual size. She identified the diamond as a "spready stone," meaning it is shallower and designed to maximize its surface area, making it appear larger than its actual carat weight. She further noted the presence of "windowing" in the facets and reflections of the gold setting, characteristic of a shallower cut. Additionally, the ring features a "super elongated stone" with a ratio likely between 1.55 and 1.6, which contributes to greater finger coverage. Despite not being the rumored 10 carats, Olivia emphasized the diamond's exceptional quality and rarity. "This is one of the hottest diamonds of the moment right now, and it's going to be even harder and more expensive to get," she added. The expert's analysis provides clarity on the celebrity jewelry piece, highlighting the nuances of diamond valuation beyond simple carat numbers.
