An oval-shaped center stone can take center stage with a stunning diamond halo making the vintage look suddenly splendid.

For a lady who loves a few extra carat points, oval-shaped diamonds look large and luscious– particularly when surrounded by a beaming double halo of diamonds that bloom and ignite this sparkling center.

With curving loops of diamonds creating a vintage, heirloom vibe and hand-crafted, crescent details hearkening back to a time when all jewelry was hand-made, this oval lovely also flaunts one of the prettiest profiles we have ever seen, with a sweetheart carriage *just* kissing the culet of the diamond.

Who wouldn’t love it?

How will you sparkle in Tacori diamonds?

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.

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.

Featured style: 2581

For a woman with an eye for elegant glamour, this lush ovalicious engagement ring has the clean and classic lines that a woman of with discerning taste demands, yet the an untraditional elongated oval shape which saucily implies “bigger is better.”

Tacori makes an art of turning the center diamond into the “hero” of the ring, and this diamond ring is no exception.  An illuminating halo of round diamonds encircle the oval center stone, creating spotlights of shine that flicker and enhance the size and sparkle of that heroic oval diamond.  Leading up to the stone, strings of pave diamonds stream along the shoulders and on the sides for lustrous shine and continuous sparkle-factor.

This diamond ring is part of the “Dantela” collection, meaning “lace” in Romanian.  This signature detail-work is engraved on the undergallery of the oval diamond creating an intricate basket to hold the center diamond securely. Each aspect of this ring contains that inimitable Tacori touch, and the hand-crafted artisanship imparts a modern-meets-vintage feel that separates these designs from any other.
