When asked, who’s hot for 2009…?

TACORI was named ONE of NINE hot designers “On Everyone’s Lips” …! - by “Lustre”, a Modern Jeweler publication

Lustre2009

The section on TACORI reads:

Tacori is a leading bridal brand, true. But the brand has also been quietly expanding its offerings into fashion jewelry, and this year, men’s bands. The men’s collection is unusually integrated into the company’s signature look: Although they are traditional from the front, the sides of each men’s style are adorned with Tacori’s signature crescent motif, making them instantly recognizable. That’s due, in part, to Tacori’s aggressive defense of its trade dress, with more than 30 lawsuits, including a $1 million judgment this year in California that is making a lot of manufacturers take a second look at any design that seems similar. Now Tacori has moved beyond branding the setting to the diamond itself with a new program of Tacori branded diamonds.

Keeping it fresh, fun and flirty with Tacori for Epiphany …!

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and so are all other kinds jewelry. Let’s face it, one of the funnest parts of getting dressed is dressing yourself up with stunning jewelry.

I tend to live by the Coco Chanel theory of less is more, so I prefer to wear fewer but more unique pieces jewelry, like antique jewelry. The fashion icon advised everyone to take off one thing before leaving the house. By trimming down on your accessories, your whole ensemble stands out more and it allows your jewelry to make a louder statement.

I don’t have a specific designer loyalty, but I decided to see which jewelry brands and designers were most popular among our users. Check out our top searched list.

I’m not surprised that Tiffany jewelry took the number 1 spot on our list. Their timeless jewelry collection has been a favorite for generations. In comparison to Tiffany, David Yurman jewelry is fairly new, but still wildly popular. His colorful collections of bracelets and rings are immediately recognizable for their unique aesthetic.

Number 4 on our list has put a new twist on an old classic. Pandora reinvented the charm bracelet with fashionable beads, jewels and charms.

Every woman dreams of hearing 4 magical words: Will you marry me? What she longs for even more than the proposal is the gorgeous ring she’ll get in honor of her engagement. With all the different options out there, how do you decide which ring to flaunt on your left hand? Check out our list of the top searched engagement ring designers for some of the most popular jewelers.

Assuming you are shopping for a diamond (although your engagement ring can have any stone you desire), pay special attention to the 4 C’s (cut, color, clarity and carat). Gemstone cut and shape give diamonds their personality. Chose whether you want a round, pear, emerald, princess or other shape and then decide the proper cut to accentuate the diamonds radiance. Carat refers to the size of the diamond, while color and clarity will help you better understand the quality and corresponding price.

The more stylish part of the engagement ring will be the setting. The possibilities are endless — three stone, solitaire and pavé, just to name a few. Most importantly your ring should reflect your taste and personal style. Once you’ve chosen a setting, you’ll also have to pick your metal — white gold, yellow gold or platinum.
