Jeweler Kindred Lubeck<\/a>\u2019s life changed in an instant\u2014and an Instagram post\u2014last August when Travis Kelce proposed to Taylor Swift<\/a> with a brilliant-cut old mine diamond set in a hand-engraved yellow gold band from Lubeck\u2019s brand, Artifex Fine.<\/p>\n Lubeck\u2019s distinctive style\u2014marked by one-of-a-kind antique stones and intricate hand-engraving work\u2014caught Swift\u2019s eye. \u201cI just thought her stuff was so cool,\u201d Swift said on Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Emma Bunton<\/em> last year. \u201cWhen I saw the ring, I was like [gasps], \u2018I know who made that!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n While Lubeck\u2019s work is still hard to come by, it just got a little bit easier thanks to her new line, Artifex Bridal by Kindred Lubeck. On April 10 at 4 p.m. EST, Lubeck will drop a new, limited edition collection of engagement rings, wedding bands, and other fine jewelry intended to carry a bride through her engagement and beyond. Among them, a wedding band with channel-set baguettes and a milgrain border, a tennis bracelet with a hand-engraved sunburst motif and invisible clasp, and\u2014a favorite of hers\u2014a 3.63 carat old mine diamond surrounded by an engraved halo accented with smaller diamonds, and a looped detail on the band.<\/p>\n Courtesy of Artifex Fine<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n While it isn\u2019t a widely available collection, the limited edition model will allow would-be customers to access Lubeck\u2019s work without having to join the lengthy waitlist for a custom piece. For now, she plans on doing quarterly drops of around 25 rings. While she will repurpose the designs, every ring will be unique; the body of each ring will be remade to fit a new, hand-selected stone. \u201cWe\u2019re not interested in replicating them fully,\u201d she says. \u201cYou won\u2019t be meeting someone else who has the exact same ring as you.\u201d<\/p>\n Lubeck decided to launch Artifex Bridal following the enthusiastic response to Swift\u2019s engagement ring. New eyes on her work meant a deluge of interest from Swifties and beyond, but her business wasn\u2019t built to meet that sort of large-scale demand\u2014nor does she want it to. \u201cMass producing is wholly against the ethos of the brand,\u201d she says. Still, she wanted to expand her bridal business beyond custom pieces, of which she is able to produce about 10 per year. \u201cI\u2019m now at the point where I\u2019m very limited in what I can take [with] my custom commissions,\u201d Lubeck says.<\/p>\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/assets.vogue.com\/photos\/69cece505bb6827f1fe17cf5\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Artifex_Hero_4_5.jpeg\"\/)
