Hills vs. City! Who wore it best?

June 21st, 2010
Posted by Michelle Adorjan

whoworeitbest_whitlo1We love trend-watching almost as much as we adore celebrity-spotting.  So it was with great delight to see two famous fashionistas from “rival” MTV shows “The Hills”  and “The City”  — Lo Bosworth and Whitney Port — both sporting the hottest summer jewelry trend of oversized stud earrings.

Each lady interpreted the look differently for a unique pairing…and we love them both!

So we ask you: Who Wore Them Best?

From the Tacori 18k925 collection, Whitney Port (“The City”) wears her Aruba Blue oversized stud earrings for poolside glamour.   Translucent faceted Lemon Quartz over bright Neolite Turquoise gives these plush studs an awe-inspiring, pop-art glow that perfectly accents Port’s ensemble.  Bringing in the glam factor, diamonds accent the framework on these earrings in a rich, 18k gold frame, evoking a dramatic, multidimensional, cushion-like look.

In similar Tacori 18k925 oversized stud earrings, Lo Bosworth dressed up her casual black tee and jeans with an updo and these edgy-glam earrings.  These smokin’ studs rock with lightning-striped Rutilated Quartz layered over inky Black Onyx for a sophisticated look with a natural edge.

Whitney Port‘s style: se106y08

Lo Bosworth’s style: se106y15

Ovalicious!

June 21st, 2010
Posted by Michelle Adorjan

Dantela diamond engagement ringFor 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.

Channelling Diamond Glamour

June 20th, 2010
Posted by Michelle Adorjan

ht-2510-1-2x_multiAn engagement ring seldom possesses both the ‘wow’ factor, and still manages to embody understated elegance on the hand.   If those characteristics are what you’re looking for in a diamond ring, let us present this star style for your consideration.

Voila, an engagement ring design that unites grace and strength in stunning style.

The deliberate power and presence of diamonds partner with the femininity of  Tacori’s intricate artisanship, creating sparkle factor that simultaneously demands attention with dazzle and commands respect for its artistry in design.

Not a traditional solitaire, nor a three-stone design, with this diamond ring, strings of channel-set graduated diamonds lead up the shoulders of the band, giving this modern-classic ring design a wearable design with the center diamond sitting flushly with the band.  From the profile, lace-like signature Tacori crescent silhouettes create windows of light along the sides for interest from every angle, and a glamorous look for you to love.

The TACORI Checkmate Commercial

The Tacori commercial brings the iconic Tacori chess print advertisement for unique engagement rings to life. In this vignette, sculpted ebony and bone chess pieces are a striking visual metaphor of the passion of conquest — highlighting the stunning Tacori “Dantela Collection” engagement rings.

With music written and composed by Sandy Chila, award-winning vocalist Michelle Harding is the sultry songstress who brings the playful “Ooh la, mi cha cha cha” song to life.   The musical composition is a sonic personification of the playfully passionate dance between a King, as he falls to his knees in the game of Love in order to crown his Queen.

Tacori is pleased to announce that this song, “Ooh la, mi cha cha cha“, will soon be available as a FREE Tacori ringtone.  Those who are interested will be able to download the ring tone for free straight from the Tacori blog (stay tuned!).

Sparkle with Diamond Fusion

June 14th, 2010
Posted by Michelle Adorjan

2620-rd-lg_multi

Do you love a round diamond for its classic style and high-wattage sparkle? Or do you love a cushion-cut for its unique shape and old world elegance? Now, we always say that “diamonds go with diamonds” and we support the love for BOTH diamond shapes equally.  From a style perspective, there’s no longer any need to choose between these two lovely options, when Tacori has created the ultimate diamond-fusion engagement ring. In this unique setting, Tacori takes a mega-brilliant round diamond as the hero, and nestles in within a cushion-shaped halo of diamond enhancers. With double-split platinum prongs that virtually melt into the setting, the diamonds in the cushion setting shine as a spotlight onto the round center stone to create a showstopping sparkler. A beautiful juxtaposition of modern, yet traditional; classic, yet unconventional, you get the fire and scintillation of a round brilliant, in addition to the depth and dimension of a cushion shape. The best of both worlds shine in this fresh take on a classic diamond engagement ring.

For the vintage vamp with a knack for styles of times past, we are loving this gorgeous diamond engagement ring from the Hand Engraved collection. An heirloom look you’ll love for years to come (and hand down as a true heirloom) the style is posh, pretty, and totally romantic with an updated look of a princess cut center stone.

Bold prongs and delicate designs give way to hidden diamond details just under the center stone for a look that’s demurely divine.

Convey romantic glam with this platinum engagement ring. Designs around the band are all hand-engraved for a romantically vintage look and diamonds surround the center stone to bloom and enhance.

Simply Stunning, Simply Tacori: style 2639 RD P 6.5

Simply Stunning, Simply Tacori: style 2639 RD P 6.5

While it would be a Tacori girl dream to change engagement rings with outfits or when the mood suits, choosing the perfect ring may also mean choosing the ring that’s perfectly you… or “the one” that can go with anything. For your consideration: the diamonds along the shoulders and its halo, a perfect circle, make this ring a clean contender. Absolutely stunning and sophisticated, gleaming high polished platinum sides off-set glittering pave along the top of the ring and its halo gives a little boost to a round diamond center stone.

With diamonds adorning the lower level of the crown and hand-set in pave along the shoulders, Tacori crescent details hold diamonds along the sides of the band as well. A single string of diamonds creates the halo on this elegant stunner. The look is clean and crisp… simply stunning, Simply Tacori.
