The jeweler behind Taylor Swift’s new ring by Gigi Hadid reveals everything

June 25, 2024

Gigi Hadid just bought the perfect gift for her best friend Taylor Swift.

Yesterday, English jewellery brand Cece Jewellery announced on Instagram that the model had commissioned a bespoke signet ring featuring the pop star’s beloved cat, Benjamin Button. “What an absolute honour it was to create something special for Taylor Swift!!!!!!!,” founder Cece Fein Hughes said in the caption alongside the burning heart, Union Jack and paw print emojis.

Exclusively in conversation with city CountryFein Hughs shared: “Designing one of the world’s most iconic pets, owned by the legendary Taylor Swift, was a true honour.”

She continued, “We love doing pet portraits, so the fact that we did one for the world’s most iconic pet is a dream. The fact that it’s a gift from Gigi to Taylor gives it an extra layer of meaning and it was so sweet of Gigi to commission such a special piece.”

In the Instagram post, Fein Hughs said the elaborate piece featuring the famous cat was “surrounded by a shiny beaded border with flaming hearts on either side.” In addition, the seal featured Swift’s lucky number 13 on one side and her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s jersey number, 87, on the other, as well as a hidden engraving on the inside with “TTPD” for The “Tortured Poets” section.

“This ring is designed to carry her favorite things with her,” the jewelry designer said in the post. “It was incredible to see her shine on stage in London and we’ll keep our eyes peeled to hopefully see her wearing it soon.”

Hadid replied in the comments: “It’s perfect☺️ thank you ux”

Benjamin Button is one of Swift’s three beloved cats. Swift posed with the ragdoll cat for the cover of Time‘s Person of the Year 2023. After it was announced that the singer was the magazine’s Person of the Year, she playfully reacted to the news on Instagram with the caption: “Time Magazine: We’d like to name you Person of the Year. / Me: Can I bring my cat?”

While Swift’s ring is custom made, Cece Jewellery’s beautiful jewels can also be purchased online. Check them out here:
