Taylor Swift Wears Symbolic Opal Ring Gifted by Travis Kelce at Her 34th Birthday Party
Taylor Swift celebrated her 34th birthday with a star-studded party in NYC last week, and while her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, couldn’t attend due to football practice, fans believe he made up for it with a special gift. In photos shared by Swift from the event, she can be seen wearing an enormous pear-shaped opal ring surrounded by smaller London blue topaz stones. The opal is Kelce’s birthstone, while blue topaz is one of Swift’s birthstones, making the ring a sentimental symbol of their relationship.
Sentimental Symbolism
The opal and blue topaz gemstones hold meaning beyond their birth months. Opal is said to represent hope and purity, while blue topaz is believed to help channel inner wisdom. According to gemologist Karly Bulinski from Rare Carat, the opal in Swift’s ring could be as large as 20 carats, placing the custom piece’s value around $10,000.
A Special Connection
Opals have always held a special place in Taylor Swift’s heart. In an interview with Us Weekly in 2016, she revealed that her favorite stone is opal because her mom used to take her to T.J. Maxx after school to look at opal jewelry when she was bullied. The beauty of opals made her feel better during those tough times.
A Star-Studded Celebration
Swift’s 34th birthday party was attended by her close friends, including Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid, Sabrina Carpenter, the Haim sisters, and Zoë Kravitz. While Kelce couldn’t be there due to football commitments, he stayed back in Missouri to prepare for the Chiefs vs. Patriots game, which Swift attended.
A Fashionable Tribute
This is not the first time Swift has paid tribute to Kelce through her fashion choices. In September, before confirming their relationship, she wore an opal necklace that hinted at their romance. Since then, she has continued to support her beau by wearing vintage Chiefs merchandise, bracelets with Kelce’s jersey number and nickname, and more.
With the symbolic opal ring, fans are now speculating whether an engagement ring could be the next step for the couple.
