It was an ancient Roman custom for wives to wear rings attached to small keys as a sign that their husbands’ owned them. Later, in 1477, it was the Archduke Maximillian of Austria who asked that a diamond engagement ring be designed for his love, Mary of Burgandy. Suddenly, it became all the rage for the European aristocracy to do the same.
During Victorian times
those engagement ring became a mix of diamonds, precious metals, venamels, and
colorful gemstones. The Edwardians took it one step further by mounting their
engagement rings on filigree settings. For a very long time the “average man”
could not afford a diamond. It wasn’t until diamond mines were discovered in Africa
in the 1870s that diamonds became more plentiful, and therefore, relatively
less expensive.
It may be interesting to
note that it was during the Great Depression when that demand for diamonds
began to dry up. Diamond companies countered that by advertising the biggest
names in Hollywood, swathed in diamonds. Once again, people were reminded of
the glamour behind diamonds and began to buy.
Tacori’s Place in History
In 1969 Haig Tacorian left
Europe to build a life in the U.S. He settled in California with his wife,
Gilda, and the two began to create jewelry with a uniquely European flair. His
children have helped carry on that tradition of attention to detail as they
create pieces unlike anything else on the market.
Today, like any other brand
of distinction, people recognize a Tacori wedding ring. One of the latest
trends in Tacori engagement rings is called the “cushion cut.” These rings
feature larger diamonds and a distinct sense of style. There is nothing garish
or over-the-top about these larger diamonds. Rather, Tacori has given them
rounded corners that highlight the diamond’s clarity and imbues them with a
natural grace. Simply put, any hand looks regal wearing a cushion cut Tacori
diamond.
Like your love, a diamond
is forever. Why not celebrate your marriage with a ring as unique as your
relationship?
