Tacori 2565rd9 question

[crazyblonde]

I have only seen this ring pictured with a 1.5 carat and I was thinking of a ring with slightly under a carat size. I would like to see a picture if anyone owns this ring..also are the prices any different?

Pretty! I bought a Tacori and I learned that each style number can be made at different price points depending on what size the center diamond is, if you do a half-way version instead of a full eternity, etc. I had a 1 ct. diamond which called for the "petite" version of the ring style which was a little cheaper. I also went with the half-way version because I did not really want diamonds on the palm of my hand.

do you mind telling me how much yours cost? I have also heard that if you go down to a .90 instead of a 1 carat it will be lots cheaper and you cannot really tell a different. What do you suggest? the ring setting and stone that you are describing sounds exactly what i want.

I think my set was around $7000 but I don't have access to my files to see for sure due to getting new office furniture and everything being a mess. Here is a link to a post I did with a photomontage that I did of my diamond and set (very bottom of page 2). I have the w-band, but the e-ring is still on layaway. Keep in mind that on my rings, the diamonds and crescents stop at the midway point down the bands, not all the way around like in the photo that Tacori sent me.

I bought my set at Collections Fine Jewelry in Saginaw, Texas. Their number is 817-232-9251. My sales lady is gone, but anyone there is great. They had my set already in the case with a head for a 1 ct. so I didn't have to have anything custom made, which I think saved me money. They did send the set back to Tacori to be sized so it didn't void the warranty. If you call them, tell them Kathy who has the Jubilee-set Tacori on layaway sent you. No, I don't get a kick-back! LOL. Be sure and tell them the diamond size you are looking at and that you want the half-way version of your style so you get a correct estimate. Have you actually tried on this style?

Regarding the diamond size, I saw two diamonds on GoodOldGold, one a .93 ct. G/VS2 priced at $5714, and a 1.01 ct. G/VS2 priced at $7559. Both diamonds are the same ideal cut, color and clarity, but the .93 ct. is about $1844 cheaper and only .16mm smaller. Here are links to both diamonds:
