The era you’re in may change from time to time as you go through different stages of life, and the engagement ring you're drawn to can symbolize not just your personal aesthetic but also your current era.

‘Reputation’ was the first era in which Swift experimented with an edgier image than the cookie-cutter good girl persona she was known for. You’ll often hear someone say they’re in their ‘reputation’ era if they have just gone through an event that changed them. Once you have gone through that, you are unapologetically yourself, just like Swift was after the drama with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.
This “burst” diamond almost looks like it could be as much of a defense mechanism as it is a ring. And that’s what ‘Reputation’ is all about — being your most authentic self, but not leaving yourself unprotected either. Someone in their ‘Reputation’ era would be drawn to this unique silhouette that is just as different and tough as they are.
3. 'Evermore' Era

‘Evermore’ is, in many ways, a sister album and era to ‘Folklore.’ But, where ‘Folklore’ is more curious, ‘Evermore’ is more nostalgic. Being in your ‘Evermore’ era means you are reaching for the past, for some bygone time when everything seemed a bit rosier. It is a thoughtful era, full of soul-searching and contemplation.
So what could be more perfect for the ‘evermore’ era than a complete classic? This gold ring with a solitary diamond and band surrounded by smaller diamonds screams traditional and timeless. It is thought-provoking, just like ‘Evermore,’ and brings to mind a time of the past when everything was simpler.
4. 'Red (Taylor's Version)' Era

‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’ was unlike anything that came before it. Swift went with a completely new, pop-infused sound. There is no one word to describe this complex era. Someone who is multi-faceted and unique in all of the best ways is sure to find themselves in their ‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’ era.
Such a progressive era needs a rare ring to represent it. This double-stoned option features a more typical diamond alongside a larger, pear-shaped offering. There is nothing quite like it, just like there’s nothing quite like ‘Red (Taylor’s Version).’
5. 'Folklore' Era

The ‘Folklore’ era is something truly special. The album was written and released during the heart of the pandemic when everyone spent much more time with themselves than they may have been used to. Because of that, the era is introspective, with those in this era looking inward for a deeper connection. If you’re in your ‘Folklore’ era, you’re also curious, looking at the world through different eyes and seeing things in a new light.
This sapphire engagement ring has two fun blue pieces representing that curious side. This ring is different from your average engagement ring and has a little something extra special. It’s the kind of thing you can get lost in looking at during your daydreaming and periods of deep thought.
6. 'Midnights' Era
