Expert reveals incredible cost of Ellidy Pullin's Taylor Swift-inspired diamond engagement ring as she announces plans to wed Brock Wadsworth - and it rings in at a whopping $350,000

Ellidy Pullin announced her engagement to boyfriend Brock Wadsworth this week. 

And the Gold Coast influencer and podcaster, 34, is sporting a glistening ring worth a pretty penny, according to one expert.  

Wedding and engagement ring expert Nilesh Rakholia, who is the founder of Abelini jewellers, has taken a closer look at her striking engagement ring, revealing its astounding cost. 

The elongated, cushion-cut diamond in a yellow-gold bezel setting is very similar to the bling gifted to pop superstar Taylor Swift by her now-husband, Travis Kelce, at their 2025 engagement. 

Nilesh estimates that the centre stone could be around five carats. 

It features what appears to be a high-quality natural diamond, putting the ring at a value of $250,000 to $350,000. 

If the diamond was lab-grown, Nilesh estimates a visually comparable ring could be worth around $7,000 to $12,000.

'It's a beautiful ring, and very wearable. The elongated cushion gives you the softness of a traditional cushion cut, but with more length through the finger, so it feels substantial without looking overly square or heavy,' Nilesh says. 

For Nilesh, the bezel setting is the most distinctive part of the design and makes the ring comfortable for daily wear. 

'Rather than claws holding the diamond at individual points, the gold follows the outline of the stone,' he said. 

'It gives the ring a much cleaner silhouette and also protects the edge of the diamond more effectively, which makes sense for something you're going to wear every day.'

Nilesh says he is not surprised to see another high-profile engagement ring use a bezel setting after Taylor Swift kickstarted the trend. 

'Taylor Swift's engagement ring helped put bezels back into the mainstream conversation,' he said.

'The appeal is easy to understand. People want engagement rings that feel a little less formulaic, but still practical enough for everyday wear. A bezel gives you both.' 

He continued: 'Ellidy's ring is a really good example of why bezel settings are having a moment. 

'The elongated cushion gives you the scale, the yellow gold adds warmth and the bezel keeps the whole thing clean and distinctive.

'It photographs beautifully, but more importantly it looks like a ring someone could live in.' 

Abelini is a high-end jeweller with locations in Australia and the United Kingdom,  specialising in high-quality diamond and gemstone jewellery, including an array of wedding and engagement rings. 

Pullin's engagement marks a major new chapter six years after the death of Olympic snowboarder Alex 'Chumpy' Pullin in July 2020. 

Taking to Instagram to share the news, Ellidy revealed Brock had popped the question during a trip to Europe, with the couple celebrating their engagement in a series of romantic photographs. 

'HE WANTS TO BE STUCK WITH ME FOREVER,' she captioned the post alongside several crying and ring emojis.

Brock is a Gold Coast-based contractor and the managing director for Wadsworth Contracting.

Ellidy's former partner Chumpy drowned on the Gold Coast at the age of 32 in a freak spearfishing accident on July 8, 2020.

In the months following his death, Ellidy underwent posthumous sperm retrieval and later welcomed their daughter Minnie in October 2021.
