A Celebratory Debut for a Record Wedding Year

It’s a true testament to what can be achieved when two brands align on quality and ethics.”
Echoing this sentiment, Nadine Tacorian Arzerounian, COO and Design Director of Tacori, emphasized the inspiration behind the collection’s intricate details. “At Tacori, we believe in the power of small details – those subtle touches that transform a piece into something unique, giving it its own captivating story,” she shared. “This collection was born from the intricate beauty found in bridal wear, whether it’s the delicate beading on a bodice, the graceful draping of a gown, or the hidden embroidery within a veil. We meticulously drew upon these delicate elements and brought them to life through our designs.” She further added, “When combined with Brilliant Earth’s steadfast foundation of ethical sourcing and unwavering transparency, this partnership truly showcases a level of care, artistry, and craftsmanship that is unmatched anywhere in the industry. It’s a collection that couples can cherish not just for its beauty, but for its profound integrity.”

- The Solitaire Suite: Classic Elegance Reimagined. This suite perfectly embodies the collection’s meticulous attention to detail. Featuring three distinct engagement rings, each piece within the Solitaire Suite radiates classic and timeless beauty, drawing inspiration from the graceful draping found in the most elegant bridal gowns.

These intricate bead-like embellishments evoke the delicate artistry and couture craftsmanship often seen in high-end bridal wear, adding a touch of vintage charm to a modern classic. This suite is ideal for those who appreciate understated luxury and enduring style.
- The Pear Foundation Design: A Dazzling Embrace of Unique Sparkle. An exquisitely detailed engagement ring, the Pear Foundation design brilliantly spotlights pear-shaped diamonds gracefully wrapped around the band. This unique arrangement creates a captivating visual flow and maximizes brilliance from every angle. Additional diamond accents and intricate beading further enhance both the gallery surrounding the center stone and the pear-shaped diamonds on the band, creating a breathtaking symphony of light and texture. It’s a design that offers a fresh, contemporary take on diamond solitaires, perfect for the bride seeking something truly distinctive and luminous.
- The Three-Stone Marquise Ring: Modern Sophistication with a Timeless Appeal. This design offers a sophisticated and modern twist on the beloved classic three-stone style by featuring elegant marquise diamonds. The visual impact of this ring has been meticulously considered from every perspective, ensuring a magnificent display from all 360 degrees. From the gracefully raised Tacori crescents adorning the shoulders to the delicate milgrain beading outlining each individual area, the ring radiates an elegant sparkle and intricate detail from every angle. This design speaks to those who appreciate heritage elements blended with contemporary flair, symbolizing a past, present, and future together.
- The Knife Edge Ring: Bold Form Meets Hidden Delicacy. The Knife Edge ring reimagines this classic silhouette with masterful artistry, introducing delicate hidden crescents and a beautiful array of pave diamonds. This thoughtful embellishment not only adds a surprising layer of detail but also artfully emphasizes the impressive size and brilliance of the center stone. The sharp, clean lines of the knife-edge band provide a striking contrast to the subtle sparkle, resulting in a design that is both contemporary and timeless. It’s a perfect choice for those who desire a powerful statement piece with an underlying touch of romantic intricacy.
