Wow, this ring looks fabulous. I am a Tacori lover myself - and this is absolutely gorgeous!

 

[tigertas32]

That was the whole thing behind this ring is that it has that vintage look of Tacori. I really do like it and can''t wait to give it to her.

Tigertas, you can absolutely post the name. That would be helpful for future PS''ers.
The only time a vendor cannot be posted/promoted is when they have broken forum rules, been banned etc (I believe).

You chose a very pretty ring, congrats on the upcoming engagement!

STUNNING!

One of the prettiest settings I''ve seen on here. You have to tell us who made it.

She really liked the Tacori style (pattern on side with channel and pave set diamonds), but there was no way I could afford something like that and still get a 1.5 princess on my budget. She likes thicker rings because she is so hard on them, so that was hard to find too. This one is 4.2mm thick so I think it should hold up.

We just happened to see this place and said what the heck, lets give it a shot. Went in and the first thing she saw was this and loved it. I have been going backthere for the past 3 weeks picking out a diamond to fit the ring.

She thinks I may propsoe in 6-8 months, but little does she know that I will actually have the ring tomorrow and ready to go. I am thinking within the month.

Well it looks exactly like a Tacori to me. I have a Tacori style ring with the same undergallery.

It''s simply too exquisite to put in words. She''s a very lucky lady. Good luck to you both on your future together.

 

[NeverEndingUpgrade]

That setting is perfect for a princess. She is sure to love it! Congrats! Please post hand shots after you give it to her.

 

[04diamond<3]

I love it!!! It''s absolutely beautiful!!!!!

 

[tigertas32]

Sorry for the long delay. I appreciate all your comments.

I live in Redondo Beach, CA and the store is in Torrance, CA. This is just south of Los Angeles for those of you who are not familiar.

The place is called Adamant Designs. They go to a lot of gem and trade shows and the owner is a very nice guy. His name is Samuel Kaoud. The website is:

www.adamantdesigns.com

They do custom work with CAD and the prices seem to be very reasonable.

I hope someone else can share my experience with them in the future. Or if someone has already done so, share it with all of us.

[violet3]

I would have to say hand shots will be coming in the next month or so. Probably before December.

I just have to think of a way to propose and then I will do it. This is harder than actually getting this ring. The ring kind of fell into my lap which was nice. I wish the proposal would too.

I will keep everyone updated. And give hand shots when they are here.
