Top Three Most Expensive Engagement Rings

Posted on October 24, 2012

One of the most important events in your life is getting engaged and the first thing you may think about is the diamond engagement ring. Proposing to your loved one may be the most exciting (and possibly nerve-racking) moment of your life, and the diamond engagement ring will make the moment even more special. This is why it should always be of the highest quality diamond and made with precious stones, like the diamond, and metals, for example, gold and silver. Listed below are three of the priciest diamond engagement rings worldwide.

#3 – House of Taylor’s Oval Diamond Engagement Ring

$1.3 million

House of Taylor’s oval-shaped diamond engagement ring falls in as the third most expensive diamond engagement ring worldwide. This diamond engagement elegant ring features an oval white diamond, shaped like a flower that is 5.98 carats, also the white diamonds around it measure in at 3.96 carats, which gives the appearance of a flower made out of diamonds. Its elegance also means a very hefty price tag, costing over a million dollars.

#2 – Tiffany Oval Diamond Engagement Rings

$1.465 million

The runner-up for the world’s priciest engagement ring is made by Tiffany. It is the oval diamond engagement ring, which has a wallet-busting price tag of nearly 1.5 million dollars. Price aside, this diamond engagement ring scream elegance and attractiveness and come in two shapes, oval and square pillow shape. Both are set in platinum.

The piece is available for $1.465 million, featuring an oval diamond set in platinum. The diamond is 14.79 carats. There is a less expensive version of the ring that sell for under a million dollars ($800,000), which features a square cushion diamond engagement ring set in platinum at 12.03 carats.

The most expensive diamond engagement ring in the world.

#1 – De Beers Round Brilliant Platinum

$1.83 million

At last we’ve reached the most expensive engagement ring in the world, which is the round brilliant platinum by De Beers. This diamond engagement ring has the most desired grade on the diamond color scale, D-grade. It has an elegant appearance and is very beautiful, featuring a 9 carat round diamond set in platinum

The 5 most popular engagement ring styles of 2012

 

Jewelers typically do not like to use the word “trend” when helping customers select an engagement ring because it suggests a passing fad rather than a timeless symbol of love. But the truth is, engagement rings are much like any other aspect of fashion or style; they vary in popularity from year to year, and whatever the “next big thing,” you’ll see it first on the red carpet. Here are some of the engagement ring styles in demand for 2012.
Yellow Gold and Rose Gold. In the 1930s, demand for yellow gold jewelry gave way to the Art Deco-inspired aesthetic of white metals. The leading ladies of old Hollywood adorned themselves in platinum jewelry, and “platinum blondes” were synonymous with beauty. The 80s saw the return of yellow gold as the ultimate symbol of wealth, but by the late 90s, white metals were back on top, falling in line with the sartorial minimalism of designers like Calvin Klein.
Today, we’re seeing a renewed interest in yellow gold and rose gold as a way to add extra visual interest to even the most traditional ring style. The perfect example is Miley Cyrus’s 3.5 carat cushion-cut diamond set in 18-karat gold–youthful and fashion forward, yet elegant and timeless.

Emerald Cut Diamonds. Bridal jewelry styles often take their cue from the red carpet, so it’s no surprise that emerald cut diamonds have dramatically increased in popularity since the debut of Angelina Jolie’s engagement ring. Other fashionable celebrities like Kate Hudson and Beyoncé are also wearing emerald cut engagement rings. It’s the perfect look for the bride with sophisticated yet edgy sensibilities.
Colored Gemstones. Colored gemstones have long been the choice for royal engagements, from Princess Diana and now Kate Middleton’s stunning sapphire ring, to Facebook royalty Mark Zuckerburg’s new bride’s ruby engagement ring. Whether a woman’s style is classic or bold, the variety of colors and gems available make these rings unsurpassed in individuality and style.
Micro Pave and Halo. This is the perfect look for someone who wants to offer his bride a ring with a “wow factor.” A type of pave, micro pave uses ultra-miniature diamonds that are delicately set to give the illusion of a solid diamond surface. We often see this technique used in combination with a halo setting around the center gemstone, which gives the illusion of a bigger diamond, making it really stand out. It’s perfect for the bride-to-be who wants extra sparkle.
Vintage Glam. Old Hollywood glamour never goes out of style, even for fashion-forward celebrities like Jessica Biel, who’s newly sporting a stunning 6-carat, cushion cut ring from Justin Timberlake. New vintage-inspired rings combine romantic charm with the intricate metalwork of antique rings. Platinum is the metal of choice for these ornate rings.
Staying on top of engagement ring trends is a great first step to selecting the perfect ring, but be sure to take into account the bride-to-be’s personal style. This will show her that you took the time to find a ring as unique and special as she is

5 things to know about Tacori!

If you haven’t heard of Tacori Jewelry, then you may be in the minority. This American designer is a popular choice among brides, fashionistas and celebrities alike. Check out the five facts below about this beloved jewelry designer and you will get a small taste of what you have been missing. 

1. Family-owned business—Tacori was started by Haig Tacorian and his wife Gilda. The couple moved from Europe to California in 1969, where they launched their bridal jewelry business. Through the years, many family members have joined their successful company.

2. They consider themselves artists. Their designers approach each and every piece they handcraft out of their California headquarters as its own work of art. Tacori staff pride themselves on their company’s simple yet steadfast commitment—design beautifully unique jewelry that focuses on creativity, authenticity and quality craftsmanship. Their signature look is described as vintage elegance with a modern flair.

3. Celebrities love Tacori jewelry. Ever since Friends sitcom character Chandler Bing presented a Tacori engagement ring to his girlfriend Monica in 2000, Tacori has continued to gain popularity in the media and among the stars. Tacori was the jeweler of choice for ABC when the first Bachelorette Trista Rehn received her engagement ring from Ryan Sutter on national television. Since then, more and more celebrities are photographed wearing their Tacori jewelry proudly. For example, entertainment reporter Maria Menounos recently wore stacked Tacori bangles and marquise-shaped diamond earrings and singer Katie Perry was photographed wearing a Tacori bracelet at a recent event. Dancer Cheryl Burke was also snapped arm and arm with her new beau wearing a Barbados blue diamond cocktail ring, turquoise drop earrings and yellow gold and pink gold bangles.

4. Their first creation is their signature piece. Tacori’s very first jewelry design, the Crescent Silhouette, remains one of their most popular choices among their wide jewelry collection. The design features interlocking, half-moon windows of light that reflect the brilliance of the diamonds set within each crescent silhouette semi-circle. Their actual signature piece is the Tacon HT2510, which many brides first noticed in the iconic Blue Scarf ad featured in many bridal and fashion magazines.

5. They are not just wedding jewelry designers. While Tacori has focused primarily on bridal and groom jewelry collections through the years, not everyone is aware that the company recently launched a new jewelry collection entitled Tacori 18k925. The name reflects what the jewelry is made of –a combination of 18k gold and 925 silver. The stunning collection is priced from $400 to $3,000.
