<p id=”par-3_68″>“Paired with a maroon David Koma velvet minidress and scarlet velvet stiletto shoes, the choker combined classic glamour with a modern edge, creating a powerful statement without demanding attention,” Justin Daughters, the managing director at <a href=”https://www.berganza.com/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Berganza</a>, told Showbiz Cheat Sheet in an emailed statement. “This piece demonstrates Swift’s ability to convert even a simple talk show appearance into a memorable jewellery moment – opulent, confident, and shamelessly show-stopping.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-4-she-hinted-at-her-upcoming-album-with-her-necklace-on-new-heights”>4. She hinted at her upcoming album with her necklace on ‘New Heights’</h2>
<p id=”par-4_58″>Over the summer, Swift made an appearance on Travis Kelce’s <em>New Heights</em> podcast <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/taylor-swift-showed-vulnerable-side-travis-kelces-podcast-body-language-expert-reveals.html/”>to promote her album</a> <em>The Life of a Showgirl</em>. She wore a Cartier Panthère de Cartier necklace with a simple white collared shirt. Daughters noted that the necklace “conveyed elegance, confidence, and subtle playfulness.” It also included a subtle nod to a song on <em>Showgirl</em>.</p>

<p id=”par-5_86″>“What makes this moment particularly fascinating today is that the album had not yet been released, so fans couldn’t know that in her track ‘Elizabeth Taylor,’ Swift would sing, ‘Babe, I would trade the Cartier for someone to trust … just kidding,’” Daughters said. “Viewed now, wearing Cartier during the podcast almost reads like a carefully staged, understated tease, a visual lyric that anticipates her storytelling. The piece transforms from a simple luxury accessory into a symbolic bridge between her music, personal style, and narrative intent.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_13″>Daughters believes this proves that Swift is very deliberate in her style choices. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-3-taylor-swift-put-her-jewelry-in-a-unique-spot-at-the-grammys”>3. Taylor Swift put her jewelry in a unique spot at the Grammys</h2>
<p id=”par-7_39″>At <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/taylor-swift-didnt-win-grammy-awards-simple-reason.html/”>the 2025 Grammys</a>, Swift wore a custom thigh chain designed by Lorraine Schwartz. The chain, which featured rubies and a “T” charm, matched her red Vivienne Westwood mini dress. Daughters described the look as both glamorous and risque. </p>

<p id=”par-8_64″>“The chain hinted at one of the year’s biggest personal stories — her engagement to Travis Kelce — with the ‘T’ acting as an unmistakable, playful nod to him,” he said. “That night, it was part of a cohesive ruby set including waterfall earrings and ruby rings, totalling more than 60 carats, creating a striking and unified effect that balanced glamour with provocative flair.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_12″>Swift later wore the chain as a necklace at the Super Bowl.</p>

<p id=”par-10_34″>In October, Swift wore the David Morris “Meteora” Collar Necklace in an appearance on <em>Late Night With Seth Meyers</em>. Daughters noted that the moment was a lesson in how “jewels can define a look.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_73″>“The collar boasts 264 carats of multi-coloured tourmalines, onyx, and diamonds, resulting in a piece that is both visually stunning and technically perfect,” he explained. “Unlike more traditional statement items, this necklace conveys a tale with colour, texture, and craftsmanship. The piece commands attention without looking costume-y, demonstrating Swift’s instinct for statement jewellery that elevates rather than competes. It’s also deeply versatile: wearable on the red carpet, but still unmistakably a museum-worthy showpiece.”</p>

<p id=”par-13_29″>Perhaps unsurprisingly, Swift’s biggest jewelry moment of the year came when she announced her <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/taylor-swift-wedding-band-sentimental-meaning-said-jewelry-expert.html/”>engagement to Kelce</a>. Swift’s ring is a large, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/taylor-swift-engagement-ring-old-mine-cut-diamond.html/”>old mine-cut diamond</a> with a gold band.</p>

<p id=”par-14_73″>“With its deep, antique-style facets and gently rounded corners, the old mine cut gives the stone a distinct character that is not found in contemporary cuts: it is romantic, historical, and full of presence,” Daughters said. “The choice to bezel-set it in warm yellow gold protects the gem and gives the piece a timeless appearance. Filigree and hand-engraved details around the band enhance the appearance by fusing vintage soul with contemporary bespoke design.”</p>
<p id=”par-15_12″>Daughters believes that this is the 2025 jewelry moment everyone will remember.</p>
