Tacori Bridal & Vintage Looking Engagement Rings

Posted On 01/30/2008 11:07 AM

Tacori is known for elevating craftsmanship to an art; their signature platinum and diamond rings fuse old world elegance with modern glamour and style. Each Tacori ring is hand-crafted by their expert artisans to fit the individual needs of every customer.   The attention to detail is simply amazing and you’ll find that when compared to a mass produced engagement or wedding ring the difference is staggering. 

There are many imposters that try to provide the same look as a Tacori ring but you’ll notice that there is something especially unique about the Tacori products. A mass produced ring uses a process called “lost wax” that includes a prototype carved by a jewelry maker. Once the prototype is made, it is molded and then the molten metal is injected into the mold. The engraving and scalloping that Tacori has become so famous for becomes very plastic and glossy making it look like it came from a mold. When looking at this type of jewelry you can clearly see that no significant amount of time has been put into making the jewelry. Engagement & wedding rings made with this technique can be created thousands at a time and this removes any sense of uniqueness and certainly compromises the quality.
Tacori sculpting, silhouetting, and hand-engraving are all done in the metal by hand one ring at time. Experienced jewelers use small yet accurate tools to carve patterns in the metal while taking steps to place their own artistic personality in every ring. You could say that Tacori diamond engagement rings are individual works of art that possess their own personality and style. Compare this to wearing a ring made by a mass produced mall jewelry store and you’ll certainly feel special if you own a Tacori ring.
Quality is another virtue that is held to very high standards when making your diamond engagement and wedding ring. Each ring is made using only the purest and finest quality platinum or 18k gold, giving you confidence that your jewelry will last a lifetime. Every ring is made using precisely cut diamonds with a quality grade of no less than VS2 clarity and G color. The brilliance and fire of the diamonds hand-selected for your jewelry is absolutely breathtaking and because so much time is spent making your ring, every Tacori piece comes with a lifetime warranty against stone less or abnormal breakage.
To order a Tacori ring you must first pick a diamond that you would like to place in the center of your engagement ring. Each one of their amazing rings is made specifically around your diamond selection and this ensures that the ring style supports and compliments the beauty of the diamond. Their artisans want to be sure that the prong size, height, profile, and style best marry the beauty of your diamond and elegance of your ring choice. When this occurs the diamond shows its brilliance and the ring shows its one-of-a-kind artistry without taking away from one another. On the other hand, a mass produced diamond engagement ring is made using after-market parts. The prongs are a “one size fits all” and they don’t always compliment the size and shape of your diamond. It’s hard to describe, but a mass produced ring will sometimes look incomplete, almost as if something was not quite right or missing. This could be because the height of the diamond is too low or too high in respect to the setting design. Once this happens it creates a distant relationship between the ring setting and the diamond itself.
Once ordered, every Tacori ring takes 4-5 weeks to receive and you should plan accordingly. With good reason, their artisans will not compromise the quality and artistic integrity of your ring. To begin the process you should view our diamond collection using our interactive diamond search feature. Once a diamond is chosen you can view the Tacori and vintage looking engagement rings, add both your diamond and ring choice to the shopping cart and we’ll take everything from there. We’ll order the ring from Tacori and when it arrives at the Rokstok workshop our craftsman will set your diamond in the ring. Tacori allows for many changes in their designs so that you can make the ring fit your personality and budget. For example, all of their eternity styles can be ordered half way or all the way around the ring. In addition, the hand-engraved rings come with different pattern styles and these styles can be mixed and matched with any ring. You can also order their rings in 18k yellow gold, 18k white gold, or platinum. To make or inquire about any of these changes please call 1-888-296-4890 or service@rokstok.com and one of our GIA trained jewelry specialists will answer your questions.
