Rachel Harrison, the owner of the jewelry brand Au.RUM DAWN, shared her excitement, saying she feels as though she’s “floating in the clouds” at the possibility that Taylor Swift might be wearing one of her designs. Although there hasn’t been an official confirmation from Taylor Swift or her management team, Harrison is doing her best to investigate whether the gift she sent through a friend of Swift’s actually reached the star.
Rachel Harrison’s Hopeful Journey
Rachel Harrison has been running her online jewelry brand, Au.RUM DAWN, for about a year. In an effort to reach a larger audience and raise awareness for her brand, she decided to send her products to celebrities and influencers, including Olivia Rodrigo. However, her biggest opportunity came when she sent a special necklace to a close friend of Taylor Swift, hoping that this friend could pass along the gift to the singer.

It all started in April 2024 when Harrison decided to send a necklace along with a personal letter to Taylor Swift through this friend. She hoped that the necklace, which was specifically designed to honor Taylor Swift’s “Reputation” album, would find its way around the pop star’s neck. She also messaged Swift’s friend on Instagram, requesting that she deliver the gift to Swift on April 26. By September, Harrison began to feel her dream was becoming a reality when she saw photos of Taylor wearing a necklace that looked remarkably similar to her design.
The Mysterious Necklace and Its Connection to “Reputation”
The necklace designed by Rachel Harrison has distinct features, inspired by Taylor Swift’s 2017 “Reputation” album. According to Harrison, the necklace features a portrait-cut moissanite stone, framed with intricate facets like a picture frame, with the letter “T” engraved behind the stone — the font of which mimics the one used on the album’s cover.

What’s especially notable is that in the photos of Taylor Swift, there appears to be a T-shaped reflection in the stone of the necklace she’s wearing. This further fueled Harrison’s belief that the necklace Swift was wearing could be her creation.
Harrison’s Excitement and Pride
Since the photos of Taylor Swift emerged, Harrison has been wondering whether the necklace is really hers or just a look-alike. She shared her excitement and pride at the thought that her design could be worn by one of the most influential artists in the world. “When I saw Taylor Swift wearing the necklace, I felt like I was on cloud nine. I couldn’t believe that my gift might have actually reached her,” Harrison said.
She also shared her thoughts on Instagram, where she posted a poll asking her followers if they thought the necklace Taylor Swift was wearing was her design. Out of over 100 responses, only three people believed she was being overly optimistic, while the majority agreed that the necklace looked very similar to Harrison’s.
Connection to “Reputation” and Taylor Swift’s Easter Eggs
Not only was the necklace design significant, but the timing of Taylor Swift wearing it also led many to believe it could be part of her famous “Easter eggs” — subtle hints that Swift often leaves to signal upcoming music projects. Swift is known for dropping clues through her outfits and accessories, often foreshadowing new album releases or music-related projects.
On the night of September 21, when Taylor Swift was photographed wearing the necklace, she was also spotted in snakelike reptile boots, a prominent symbol from the “Reputation” era. Additionally, her naturally curly hair was reminiscent of Swift’s appearance during the release of the album. This led Harrison and many fans to speculate that Taylor Swift could be hinting that “Reputation” would be the next album she rerecords as part of her ongoing project to reclaim her music catalog.
Harrison’s Investigation
To confirm her hopes, Harrison hasn’t stopped investigating. She has sent letters to Taylor Swift’s friend — the person she believed delivered her gift. Additionally, she has tried to reach out to Swift’s stylist and management team for more information.
While there hasn’t been an official response from Taylor Swift’s camp to confirm whether the necklace is Harrison’s, this hasn’t dampened her hopes. Harrison is optimistic that if Swift indeed owns the necklace, the singer will wear it again in the future, and clearer photos will emerge. “That would be the best-case scenario,” she said.
Taylor Swift and Cultural Influence
For Harrison, the possibility that Taylor Swift could be wearing the necklace she gifted is not only a huge professional achievement but also a deeply personal experience. She shared that Taylor Swift’s music has become the “soundtrack” for many stages of her life. From the silly heartbreaks of high school to moments of empowerment, Taylor Swift has played an important role in her journey.
Harrison said, “I can attribute almost every era of my life to her soundtrack. It takes me back to the heartache of first loves and the feelings of empowerment. I feel very connected to her in that way, which is why I wanted to share this with her through my necklace.”
Though it’s not yet confirmed that Taylor Swift is wearing Rachel Harrison’s necklace, this journey has opened up big hopes for a young jeweler with dreams of having her work worn by a global superstar. If the gift did reach Taylor and she’s wearing it, it would be a significant turning point in Harrison’s career, while also reinforcing her belief in the connection between art and music.
Harrison remains hopeful that one day she will get a clear answer. But until then, she will continue to enjoy the thrill and excitement of knowing that her creation may have become part of Taylor Swift’s world.
