Solomon Brothers is about the only place online I know of and I don't know that they are cheap or discounted. You pretty much have to find it on sale for the real thing, like in STL The Diamond Shoppe is having a 50-67 percent off sale and all in stock tacori is included but they did apparently jack up the prices beforehand because I think Im only saving a couple hundred bucks (we viewed that same setting a week prior and found quite a price increase from week to week) if we buy through them instead of 50-67 prcent off.
You might want to look into having something simliar custom made3.
Tacori sets it's prices with the vendors, and you really can't find them for less than their "lowest price". However you CAN find prices higher.
I found the setting I was interested in several places w/many different price tags assigned.
Lowest prices were at www.niceice.com, www.hlgross.com and believe it or not, I got a bailey banks and biddle to give me that price too.
I did also get quoted HIGHER prices in a lot of places, so definately look around.
ALSO - sometimes Tacori charges a different price ~100 or so.. based on the stone size that you will be putting into the ring. So make sure you check apples to apples when comparing.

Here's the deal... Tacori requires their dealers to maintain a minimum mark-up as do most other designers and we choose to represent the line at the lowest mark-up authorized by Tacori... Another vendor might choose to sell Tacori at the highest recommended mark-up and another might sell somewhere in the middle. So the reality is that when buying a designer piece, do your due diligence and shop around for the best price, but buy from whoever you are the most comfortable with and ask them to match the lowest price that you've received - but be prepared to provide them with a copy of that quote in writing and for them to verify that quote with Tacori if it happens to come in lower than the lowest authorized price because none of us can legitimately discount the line - or any other designer line - without express permission from the designer and that is on a piece-by-piece basis... Bummer, heh?
