Touchdown Style: Decoding Taylor Swift's Super Bowl Jewelry Secrets
Taylor Swift at the 2024 Superbowl
A little late to the party here but we could not NOT post about Taylor Swifts gorgeous and thoughtful jewelry display during last month’s superbowl event.
Taylor’s cheering for her beau Travis Kelce at Super Bowl 2024 wasn't just about team spirit – it was a masterclass in thoughtful, glamorous accessorizing. Her jewelry choices were an interplay of exquisite design, special touches, and a perfect balance that elevated her entire look.
Swift's sparkle started with the stones themselves. Red rubies and diamonds mirrored the Kansas City Chiefs' colors, a subtle yet unmistakable tribute to Kelce's team. The ruby pieces, from delicate bracelets to a statement necklace, showcased meticulous cuts and settings, highlighting the inherent brilliance of the gemstones.
But beyond the inherent beauty, the pieces held a special significance. A custom-made pendant emblazoned with Kelce's jersey number, 87, added a personal touch that spoke volumes about her support. This thoughtful customization, a unique piece designed just for her, was a way to truly connect her cheering spirit with her loved one's achievements.
Throughout the curation, a sense of balance shone through. The ruby pieces, while eye-catching, never overwhelmed. Instead, they complemented each other, creating a cohesive look that shimmered without being too much. This balance is a key element in crafting a truly successful jewelry ensemble.

Whether you desire shimmering gemstones or a special custom piece to commemorate a cherished occasion, our design team is here to collaborate with you and bring your vision to life.

The U.S. Customs and border protection (CPB) announced in last month that when pieces of counterfeit jewelry arrived at Miami International Airport from Hong Kong with a value of an estimated $6 million, a Miami customs stop seized all pieces. Of the 720 pieces that arrived, they found that the pieces were bearing Van Cleef & Arpels copyrighted designs. This was one of the largest seizures in the watch and jewelry category by value, which overtook the number one category, handbags and wallets. China is the leading source of producers of counterfeit luxury goods, followed by Hong Kong. This news followed soon after the announcement that the US and China agreed to improve efforts to fight against counterfeits coming into the country.
