When Travis Kelce visited Paris to show his support for Taylor Swift at her Eras Tour, he didn’t come back empty-handed. During his time in Louisville for the Kentucky Derby, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end purchased a special and luxurious gift for his girlfriend. The Derby Gold and Diamond Horseshoe Necklace, worth $1,495, was the perfect souvenir from S. R. Blackinton. Susanne Blackinton-Juaire and Skyla Blackinton, co-owners of the company, revealed that they gifted Kelce this limited-edition piece, crafted from reclaimed 14-karat gold sourced from this year’s Kentucky Derby trophy production, to be given to Swift as she prepared for her tour.
The necklace had a hidden message engraved on the bottom of the horseshoe, saying “Wishing you good luck.” With six round brilliant-cut diamonds adorning it, this piece is part of the 2024 Derby Gold Jewelry Collection. This collection also features a matching lapel pin and other horseshoe-wishbone designs inspired by European traditions from the early 1900s. Skyla shared that this collection was a dream project for her and her mother, utilizing the same gold used in creating the prestigious Derby trophy.
In addition to the stunning necklace, Kelce also acquired a pair of sterling silver sippers, embellished with the horseshoe-wishbone motif. This thoughtful gift allows the couple to relax and enjoy a few mint juleps together amidst Taylor’s busy concert schedule.
Travis Kelce’s gesture towards Taylor Swift exemplifies his thoughtfulness and attention to detail. The care put into selecting such an exquisite and meaningful gift showcases the strength of their relationship. As they navigate their busy lives, these tokens serve as reminders of their love and support for each other. It is heartwarming to see celebrities take the time to celebrate each other in such heartfelt ways.
