Taylor Swift Wears Elizabeth Taylor’s Opal Suite in Brooklyn as Sale Details Resurface

The heirloom’s path from a 2011 Christie’s sale to a 2025 $125,000 resale fuels fresh interest over an unconfirmed sports‑agent purchase.

Overview

  • Swift stepped out with fiancé Travis Kelce on Saturday in Brooklyn wearing what appeared to be the complete black‑opal set once owned by Elizabeth Taylor.
  • The suite, designed by Darlene de Sedle and composed of chandelier earrings, two bracelets, and a ring, was part of Taylor’s collection purchased in 1999.
  • Christie’s confirmed the jewelry sold in 2011 for about $6,000 before reappearing in late 2025 through Fox Estate Jewelry on 1stDibs for $125,000.
  • Seller Adam Fox said the 2025 transaction happened around Christmas and came via a sports agent, prompting reports that Kelce may be linked but without confirmation from the couple.
  • Opal holds personal resonance for the pair because it is Kelce’s birthstone and a motif in Swift’s recent work, which helps explain the public interest alongside the leap in value tied to Elizabeth Taylor’s provenance.
