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.

Princess cut diamond engagement ring; ht2518pr75

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!

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.

5 Table Engagement Ring; style ht2531rd12x

We’re not going to bore you with talk about gemological properties; no aspect ratios, or table-to-face brilliance factors.   No facet counts, nor light performance specifications.

But we are going to put the spotlight on that intangible quality that makes an engagement ring stand apart from the crowd: Presence.

This engagement ring has it.  We call this ring a Five Table Ring…because you can see it, from five tables away.

With spectacular presence and “hand appeal”, this engagement ring is not for the timid.  Demanding to be admired, it’s brilliant round center stone is enhanced with a crown of diamonds.  Tapered baguettes rain along the shoulders of the ring for a dramatic contrast, and diamonds add intrigue and unrestrained glamour from every unexpected angle.

If you’re wearing this engagement ring – prepare to turn heads and stop traffic with it!

Princess engagement ring - HT243012

Revisiting the Classics is a traditional summer pastime.  Many a summer vacay or long weekend has been spent immersed in  Bronte, Hemingway or Plath.  And while these literary giants bring us to historical times and places, our thoughts also tend towards…surprise (!)…the vintage jewelry of the times.

Imagine Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby-era, in the pinnacle of fabulously flaunted socialiates, and we asked ourselves: what would the lovely Daisy Buchanan wear as her engagement ring?

From our own archive vault of Tacori classics, we picked a spectacular — yet tasteful — traditional three-stone engagement ring for Daisy.  As a true American princess, the princess-cut seemed a natural fit as her diamond shape.  Clean, 4-corner prongs hold the hero diamonds securely, and the sparkle is amplified with channels of square cut diamonds helping echo the symmetrical shimmer from every angle.

Handcrafted with vintage designer touches such as milligrain trimwork detailing, and the signature crescent silhouettes on the side of the ring, we feel that this engagement ring is an ideal made-in-America ring for a classic Lady.

An 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.

Triple the shine, triple the fun!   Slender strings of diamonds add mad glam in a glorious trifecta of sparkle.   From Tacori’s newest collection, this elegant ring is svelte, yet substantial.  Fresh, yet classic.   Striking, yet understated.  The classic Dantela-esque center diamond is surrounded by a halo of enhancements, and more diamond-studded details decorate the sides.  The single signature crescent adds the touch of authenticity, and the lovely low profile gracefully demands attention as the ribbons taper and bow towards the king of a center diamond.
