    Video Description:
    I love challenges. My favorite types of tv involve Gordon Ramsey challenging chefs to make something. I love Project Runway where designers are challenged to make clothing. I am giving myself a challenge in this video...which is to make an engagement ring for the most popular artist in the world. I decided on a 10 carat emerald cut lab-grown diamond. Custom made in 18K gold, which a heart shape diamond accent in the band.

    I love the choice to turn the emerald cut diamond on its side for this ring because it makes me think of the shape of many of the stadiums for the Eras tour! And the little heart detail is so subtle and so perfect 🤍

    I adore horizontal settings, this is magnificent. As for the little heart - I might have done it a little differently. I think I would have made the heart in ruby (Red) and I think I would have placed it on the inside of the band - a secret just for Taylor, and whoever she chooses to share it with.

    What a thumbnail! Hahahah! Make sure you get credit if you do. Unlike the Taylor bestie Keleigh, who said she "made" the opal ring for Taylor. She actually (possibly) was involved in the design. Designers that aren't jewelers - like you - are designers only. It's so good to be both, isn't it? So far, it's been next to impossible to find out who the actual maker of that opal ring is. I'm sure it's all part of the hoopla. Love your design AND make! 👏
