Ribbon Twisted Engagement Ring; style 2565RD9

Sometimes true love travels a straight path, yet more often, Love is found along a winding road of crisscrossed lives and lovers.

This amazing “star-crossed” style is featured in the iconic “Cupid’s Arrow” commercial, as its ribbon-twisted band personifies this love story told through Diamonds, with the ups and down of the two lives seen in the path of the diamond-studded band, and the magical meeting of “the one” displayed with the magnificently brilliant round center diamond.

As one of Tacori’s most requested engagement rings, this unforgettable ring sears the soul with its 3carat round brilliant center stone and is a sought after supreme symbol of Love.

From the vault: flawless emerald cut engagement ring

Emerald Cut engagement ring - HT2273

Emerald Cut engagement ring - HT2273

The emerald cut diamond can be absolutely stunning.  This regal shape has been worn on the left hand of diamond-loving women such as Elizabeth Taylor, Ellen Pompeo, Camilla Parker Bowles and Melania Knauss.

Because of its clean, long lines, the emerald cut tends to be less fiery than a “round brilliant” cut, but it also tends to have broader, more dramatic flashes of light.  The trim lines of emerald cut diamonds lend an elegant, sophisticated air to both the simplest and most elaborate ring settings.

For your consideration from Tacori, we unlocked our vault and unearthed a 6 carat D-flawless emerald cut diamond, set within a Crescent Sihouette setting, which brings the total diamond presence to over 10 carats total weight.   While still smaller than the impressive 12 carat emerald cut diamond engagement ring that Grace Kelly was given from Prince Rainier, we think this Tacori ring is ever so worthy of a princess (or queen).

From the vault: a cushion cut diamond ring

July 27th, 2010

Nadine's One of a Kind Engagement Ring

Nothing says “vintage” quite like a cushion cut diamond engagement ring.  This romantic diamond style hearkens back to the olde days with its rounded “pillow like” shape and the exceptional length and depth of the cushion cut diamond.

The cushion cut is an antique diamond cut that used to be called a “candlelight diamond”, referring to the way it was cut prior to electric lights, and a time when diamonds were measured in sparkle by the brilliance they exhibited in candlelight.

Thus, sultry candlit rooms are the perfect backdrop for a cushion cut diamond engagement ring to show its best fire, because this diamond shape will sparkle in the dark of night or the day with light.  Although not as fiery or brilliant as many of the newer cuts, it has a marvelously romantic and classic look and definitely stands out from the crowd.

A cushion cut diamond is for a woman of style who demands to be set apart by her discerning tastes.  In point of fact, this featured cushion cut diamond engagement ring is literally a one-of-a-kind heritage design from Tacori — made especially for a Tacori family member — and destined to be a Tacori treasure for the vault.

Tacori asked Polyvore’s stylish community to showcase their wedding style – the dress, the setting, the theme, and – of course! – the wedding and engagement rings of  their dreams.   After almost two thousand amazing entries, Tacori went through each and every set that was created in order to hand-pick the Winner  of the Dream Wedding Contest (feat. below).

TACORI WINNER

Crisss26: Summer Tacori Wedding

The elegant simplicity of this composition was striking, as was the modern & vintage feel, personified through the main image of the chicly netted veil. And while this set felt unique to the creator (crisss26), the Tacori jewelry she selected stood out on the set and immediately made this composition feel “Tacori” too.

As other spots filled out in the winners circle, there were so many other fabulous entries that deserve recognition, including (Ketsy) and ALL of her amazing sets(♥Rachel♥) for her beautiful vision of her own upcoming wedding, (JO) for her lusciously playful Tacori creations, and (love2shop4) for her incredible passion to create the perfect Tacori Wedding Day.    Thank you to the entire Polyvore community – amazing and inspirational creativity.

Passion for Asscher

July 23rd, 2010
Posted by Michelle Adorjan
Asscher cut diamond engagement ring - style 2581ash85

Asscher cut diamond engagement ring - style 2581ash85

The Asscher cut diamond was developed in 1902 by the Asscher Brothers of Holland as an exclusive diamond cut for the Royal Family.

An Asscher cut diamond is cut with a series of many parallel steps, creating a hall-of-mirrors effect when looking deeply into the stone.

Regal certainly, but I bet those Asscher brothers never anticipated the swooning for this shape that would ensue after an asscher-cut diamond was featured on Sex & The City, and then worn by Hollywood royalty, Kate Hudson.

Truly, the Asscher cut diamond is an intriguing hybrid: using of the step-cuts that are a hallmark of the  emerald-cut diamond, combined with the squared shape of the princess-cut, and further utilizing the cross-cuts often seen in radiant stones –  it is a modern marvel.

In keeping with the clean, art deco appeal of the diamond cut itself — and the haute couture company that this diamond often keeps — this 3 carat Asscher diamond is framed within a contemporary Tacori engagement ring setting with a  high-polished cleanly-shaped rounded platinum band.

The  diamond fire and refractive heat of the Asscher  itself is fanned ablaze with sophisticated diamond baguettes on each side. From the profile, Tacori’s signature crescent silhouette accents provide windows of light into this magnificent engagement ring, worthy of Royal attention.

She’s elegant, regal, and is rightfully the center of attention.  All hail, The Princess!

From the 2010 collection of “Blooming Beauties”, Tacori creates a showstopping engagement ring with a 2-carat Princess cut diamond.  With the incredible 58-faceted Princess diamond as the star of this engagement ring, a double-halo of glittering pave-set diamond enhancers crown this regal sparkler with a light-filled coronet of diamonds.

The unique engagement ring setting creates a romantic vintage vibe with its  intricately set pave-stones studded throughout the platinum, and is balanced with the modern swirl of angel wings which reach to embrace the princess-cut center diamond.

Whether you’re a Princess lover or not, even critics have to admit that this Princess rules!

Geometry of Diamonds

Tacori diamond ring, style 2569pr6

In High School, Geometry may have meant calculating the angles of quadrilateral Triangles or knowing the theorum that equates the area of a Square as “a squared”.   However, as an adult, we’ve found that it’s much more fun to talk geometry of shapes and when you’re talking about Diamonds!

This diamond engagement ring exemplifies sparkle to the nth degree,  with the inclusion of three different diamond shapes:  Square (aka Princess cut diamond), Triangle (aka Trillion) and Round (aka Round Brilliant).

An engagement ring ideal for the modern beauty with a careful eye for design, this diamond ring features two trillion-cut diamonds (Triangles) framing a princess-cut (Square) center diamond.  Delicate filigree details and rows of round diamonds set along the channel of the band establish the Tacori look and style, all in perfect geometric symmetry.
