Taylor Swift Wears Elizabeth Taylor's Opal Jewelry Set at Brooklyn Wedding

other · 2026-05-17

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attended a friend's wedding in Brooklyn, New York, on May 2, 2025, where Swift debuted a full suite of Darlene De Sedle 22K gold and opal jewelry once owned by Elizabeth Taylor. The set, including chandelier earrings, a ring, and a bracelet, was purchased by Taylor in 1999 and auctioned at Christie's in 2011 for around $6,000 as part of a record-breaking $156.7 million sale. It was later resold on 1stDibs for $125,000. Swift previously wore individual pieces from the set, but this marks the first public appearance of the complete ensemble since the 2011 auction. The pop star has also worn other Taylor-owned jewels in her 2025 music video for "Elizabeth Taylor," including a 33-carat Krupp diamond and a Cartier ruby suite. Other celebrities like Margot Robbie and Kim Kardashian have also worn Taylor's jewelry. The couple, engaged since August 2024, were seen in coordinated outfits: Swift in a gold Maria Lucia Hohan dress and Aquazzura accessories, Kelce in a black Fear of God blazer.
