Taylor Swift recently unwrapped a one-of-a-kind gift from her model BFF: a bespoke ring from Cece Jewellery designed to “symbolize her favorite things that could always stay close to her, no matter the distance,” as designer Cece Fein-Hughes tells Page Six Style.
Cast from 18-karat yellow gold, the custom creation features “meaningful motifs and symbols” including the face of Swift’s famous cat, Benjamin Button, encircled by a halo of tiny pearls. Flaming hearts adorn each side; one painted with the superstar’s lucky numeral, 13, and the other bearing Travis Kelce’s jersey number, 87.

“I had already pre-designed this sketch for a fun social media campaign where our followers could guess the celebrity pet,” Fein-Hughes says.
“Gigi has been following our journey for a while so once she saw the post she DM’d us asking to purchase the piece for Taylor.”
Featured as one of Forbes’ 30 Under 30 for 2023, the art historian-turned-jeweler paints each design by hand before it’s rendered in enamel on the final piece. And while her bespoke baubles typically take 14 to 16 weeks to make, she says, “Taylor’s took around three weeks, as we prioritized it for Gigi.”
While Hadid “loved the design exactly as I envisioned it,” Fein-Hughes adds, “[she] included a special secret engraving inside the ring — a subtle homage to Taylor’s latest album, TTPD.”

Similar painted signet rings on the Cece Jewellery website start at almost $4,000 and can cost over $12,000, making this quite the generous gift indeed.
“My design approach is delicate and thoughtful, always striving to capture the customer’s vision on a miniature canvas,” Fein-Hughes tells us.
“I begin each project with a visual mood board, and it’s always exciting to discover the deep significance that seemingly ordinary objects — flowers or birds, for example — hold for our clients and how I can make them even more special and unique.”

She calls designing Swift’s meaningful piece “an absolute dream,” adding, “We’re eagerly anticipating the moment we spot her wearing it! We’re attending her concert, so fingers crossed we see it then.”
