Taylor Swift Shines in Nearly $1 Million Worth of Jewelry for ‘The Life of a Showgirl’
Taylor Swift elated fans when she announced on her beau, Travis Kelce‘s New Heights podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce, that she was releasing a new album.
On Aug. 12, the pop star shared that the title of her latest creation is The Life of a Showgirl. Sitting alongside Travis, Swift showed Jason a briefcase. When he asked what was inside, she pulled out her new album. The announcement came just over a year after the release of The Tortured Poet’s Department, which received six Grammy Award nominations.
At the time, Swift held off on revealing the cover to her fans. But she later unveiled the album artwork and visuals.
The stunning photos shared via social media show the “Anti-Hero” artist dripping in diamonds. Now the fine jewelry experts at U.K. retailer Steven Stone are sharing more details on Swift’s show-stopping bling.
Maxwell Stone told Showbiz Cheat Sheet: “On the cover and throughout the promo images of ‘The Life of a Showgirl’, Taylor Swift shines in a dazzling constellation of extraordinary jewels, each piece chosen with the meticulous eye of a true curator of glamour.
“Her signature style is unmistakably elevated by Lorraine Schwartz, whose custom creations she has remained loyal to over the years. From sculptural triangular drop earrings and pavé diamond cuffs to a bold pink pearl ring and a timeless sapphire-and-diamond bracelet, Schwartz’s artistry frames Taylor not merely as a showgirl, but as a reigning queen of sophistication.”
The diamond expert added: “Layered atop this foundation of elegance are Zydo Italy’s 18k white gold domed stretch bracelet and cascading diamond chandelier earrings; Stephanie Gottlieb’s 17-carat multi-coloured diamond bracelet, bursting with playful brilliance; Athens-based Etho Maria’s ruby drop earrings, rich with 38.88 carats of fiery rubies; the delicate, butterfly-inspired diamond studs by Anabela Chan; and Le Vian’s Art Deco-inspired Vanilla Gold ring, a nod to vintage glamour. Together, these jewels create a symphony of sparkle, turning Taylor into the ultimate crown jewel of ‘The Life of a Showgirl.'”
The Zydo Italy diamond bracelet is estimated to be $62,000, and the Zydo Italy diamond earrings are valued at $78,000. The Lorraine Schwartz custom diamond, sapphire & pearl-drop earrings cost $70,000, while the Lorraine Schwartz custom pearl ring is estimated at $20,000. The Stephanie Gottlieb vintage multicolor flex diamond bracelet costs $32,000. The Ruby Etho Maria earrings are $51,700. The Anabela Chan diamond studs are $2,790. And the Le Vian diamond ring retails for $2,598.75.
The Lorraine Schwartz Custom diamond-encrusted cuffs are the most expensive pieces Swift is wearing, valued at $350,000. The Lorraine Schwartz pink sapphire & diamond bracelet comes in second at $250,000.
“After examining the custom pieces and factoring in the estimated values alongside the retail prices of the rest, Taylor is likely adorned in around $920,000 worth of jewelry,” Stone concluded.
Swift’s 12th album drops on Oct. 3. Celebrity psychic astrologer Inbaal Honigman says reaching that milestone represents so much for the star. She explained: “The number 12 is a number of success and achievement. Reaching the 12th iteration of anything is an impressive demonstration of tenacity and ability. Twelve is seen as a blessed number, and it represents harmony and cosmic order. Beyond the number 12, the cycle starts again with the number 1. Taylor’s next album will be the beginning of something brand new.”
