10 Romantic Anniversary Ideas

April 28, 2010 By marc Leave a Comment

So you want to get her jewelry on your anniversary, but need some ideas on how to give it to her creatively? Don’t just hand her a box! Be romantic and creative about it. There’s lots of ways to make your anniversary memorable. Here are some ideas for excellent anniversary jewelry items from Tacori and Roberto Coin, as well as several great ways to make your anniversary something she’ll never forget.

	Take her on a stroll through your favorite park. At a selected hidden destination have an elegant picnic all set out for her. You can have a friend set this up. Choose some fine cheeses, artisinal chocolates, fresh fruits and her favorite champagne. And then present her with a jewelry item, perhaps from the Tacori 18k925 collection, such as their Chalcedony Drop Earrings.
	Romantic Weekend at the Beach. Make plans to leave town on a Friday and head to a rented beach house. Go swimming, hiking–get all your sun-filled activities in. And then, maybe over a candlelit dinner or on a towel on the sunny beach, present her with your Tacori anniversary gift: an 18k White Gold & Diamond Tears of Joy Pendant.
	Go see a romantic movie together. If you’re a couple that really gets into seeing Hollywood romances, then head to the movie theater and check out one of the romances. If there’s a revival house in your area, maybe you can check out an old Hollywood classic romance. This can be a low-key anniversary option, until you get back home and present her with a gift from the Roberto Coin Appassionata Collection: a Yellow Gold Woven Bracelet that will be perfect for the future fabulous fancy dinners you’ll share together.
	Pick a tropical vacation hotspot. Whether it’s in the Caribbean or Rio or Tahiti, there’s absolutely nothing like a tropical destination to create a setting for a hot and romantic tropical anniversary. Go snorkeling, swim with dolphins, enjoy the fantastic local cuisine. And don’t forget to get that jewelry keepsake that she’ll have forever: Roberto Coin Basketweave White Gold Diamond Earrings. Think about some creative wrapping–perhaps give your gift to her inside a coconut shell or a large conch from the beach. Also think about presenting it to her at sunset.
	Surprise her when she comes home with a room filled with balloons and several small, numbered gift boxes. Inside of each box include a short poem you wrote for her. If you’re not much of a poet, then include some quoted poems from Rumi or Shakespeare’s sonnets. Finally, when she gets to the last box, have a very special surprise waiting for her inside: a Roberto Coin Appassionata Bracelet with Diamond Center.
	Road Trip! For those of you who really want to spend your anniversary being adventurous, consider taking a weekend road trip. Maybe go somewhere secluded and rustic, find a nice bed & breakfast to stay at and enjoy a romantic day trip to a charming small town. In this old-fashioned setting, present her with something extravagant that she’ll be excited to wear when she gets back home: Roberto Coin Silk Collection Earrings with Diamond and Mother of Pearl Center.
	Don’t forget the flowers. Treat her to a multiple-course meal at her favorite restaurant. Get the sweetest desert! Then when you get home, let her be surprised when she finds fifty sweet-smelling flowers in the living room. And don’t forget to wrap your most luxurious anniversary gift around the center flower: a Tacori 18k925 Smoky Quartz and Diamond Pendant.
	Go with a theme. Whether you want a Hawaiian anniversary replete with pupu patters and leis, or a special costume party anniversary that you can celebrate with friends, going with a theme can be a fun way to go. Don’t forget to find that opportune moment to present her with your anniversary gift: a Tacori 18k925 Lemon Quartz & Diamond Pendant.
	Go somewhere fun! And we mean–really fun. An amusement park or them park can be a great place to go for an anniversary. If you have kids, this might be the perfect opportunity to visit Disney World. Otherwise try going to Six Flags or some other theme park nearby. And when the time is right–maybe at the top of the ferris wheel or midway through one of the rides–present her with this beauty: Roberto Coin Chic and Shine Collection Necklace with Lariat. Just make sure you don’t give it to her on the rollercoaster!
	Put together a memory book. So you’ve been together for one, two, five, ten or more years. Perhaps you have a ton of photos, waiting in boxes and haven’t compiled them yet. Your anniversary is the perfect time to spend a day together selecting photos from your romance and putting them together in one romantic album. After you’ve compiled all the photos, say you found one more photo box and give it to her. When she opens the photo box, she’ll find a jewelry box instead with this inside: Roberto Coin Romantic 18k Yellow and White Gold Heart Necklace.

Tacori 2010 Bridal Collection

April 13, 2010 By marc Leave a Comment

This year’s Tacori 2010 Bridal Collection follows the Tacori tradition of featuring a single large diamond surrounded by smaller stones. The 2010 Bridal Collection was recently unveiled in mid-March and was much anticipated. The ring band are made of white gold or platinum and also studded with sparkling diamonds. Such a diamond-studded solitaire arrangement can actually make the stone look larger, as Tacori elaborates: “The Tacori settings in this collection take the most popular diamond shape–a round-brilliant diamond–and the most popular size–a 1-carat center–and then, the design maestros at California design studios, craft a ring to make the 1-carat diamond look like a 2-carat stone or bigger.”

Interested buyers don’t necessarily have to buy their center stones in classic round brilliant cuts, they can also consider oval, princess, and emerald center cut stones.

A Tacori representative also had this to say about the new collection: “Every woman always dreams about getting the biggest, most beautiful diamond when they are proposed to, and the new Tacori bridal collection of diamond engagement rings features just such rings to dazzle and wow her. We are so proud of this remarkable new collection, and we are thrilled to share it with our new customers.”

The diamond solitaire-style is, of course, one of the more sought-after ring styles, with the tiny diamonds surrounding the center stone ensuring a sparkle from every angle. A Tacori rep also added, “These engagement rings may be from our newest collection, but they have a unique and vintage feel that make these contemporary rings feel like heirloom designs.”

3 Pave Set Tacori Engagement Rings

March 17, 2010 By marc Leave a Comment

Pave engagement rings can be a rich, excellent choice for an engagement ring. They come encrusted with the appearance of diamonds set along the band. With very little of the original metal band showing through, the diamonds all appear to be free-standing. There are distinctions such as “full pave”, where diamonds go around the whole band, or “half pave”, where diamonds go halfway around the band. Most center stones are prong-set, basket-set or bezel-set, to separate the center diamond from the pave setting. Here are some pave choices from Tacori that are sure to be timeless engagement rings.

	Tacori Setting w/ Pave Set Diamonds–.29ct. This stunning option comes handmade by Tacori and feature round brilliant cut diamonds pave set around the center diamond and shoulders of the band. It’s not too showy, while also maintaining the classic elegance Tacori is known for.
	Tacori Channel-Set and Pave Diamond Setting. Beautiful, classic, timeless are all adjectives used to describe this piece. Handmade by Tacori and featuring round brilliant diamonds going around the band. Available in “full pave setting or half pave” setting.
	Tacori Sapphire Shield-Cut & Pave Diamond Setting. Featuring two shield-cut sapphires, as well as round pave-set diamonds covering the band. You choose the center stone. This piece is uniquely different from other engagement rings because of the sapphire and has a charming elegance about it.

Diamond Jewelry gifts for Your Anniversary

February 24, 2010 By marc Leave a Comment

An anniversary is a special occasion that should be honored with a timeless piece of jewelry. Why settle for a box of chocolates or a fancy meal when you could have something that lasts just like your relationship? Especially after five, ten, or twenty-five years, you should consider commemorating the occasion with these timeless specialty pieces from world-renowned jewelry designers such as Tacori, Scott Kay and Artcarved—all of which will go well with your original diamond engagement and wedding rings. Here are some great ideas on what to get her for each commemorative anniversary!

	First Anniversary. For this occasion, you’ll want to surprise her with something elegant to accompany her wedding ring. Go get a fine and simple cake and a good bottle of Veuve-Cliquot champagne. Then surprise with a shimmering pair of diamond studs. They’re an elegant match for her wedding ring!
	Fifth Anniversary. This is a special occasion and you’ll want to impress her with a sign of your love. Consider an elegant night out to her favorite restaurant. When the desert tray comes by, surprise her with a little jewelry box instead. What are you going to put inside the box? Why not a platinum round brilliant diamond eternity ring? It will last!
	Tenth Anniversary. Now you’ve been together for a decade. Go have fun! Consider a tropical getaway on a beach. While you’re sipping pina-coladas and basking in the sun, show her how much you care with a diamond tennis bracelet carefully tucked inside a seashell. She’ll never forget that vacation!
	Fifteenth Anniversary. Now this is commitment! Have a nice quiet night. Make her dinner. At the end of the night, surprise her with a diamond solitaire pendant on her pillow.
	Twenty-fifth Anniversary. It’s been twenty-five years and you’re still going strong! Maybe you’ve seen the kids go to college or you’ve moved into a bigger and nicer home than where you began. You have all those great memories to share and now is the perfect time to consider renewing your vows and upgrading the diamond engagement ring you bought her twenty-five ago. Now that money isn’t as tight as it was 25 years ago, show her you’d do it all over again 25 years later.

Five Things to Consider for Solitaire Engagement Rings

February 18, 2010 By marc Leave a Comment

A solitaire ring means there is one stone, without side stones, accent stones, or other gem embellishments. They are simple and elegant and can symbolize the singular love a couple shares. Here are five things you should consider when buying solitaire engagement rings.

1. The Band. A smaller and thinner band will emphasize the diamond. This is also a great choice for slender fingers. You may also want to find a two-toned or etched band to add intricacy to the ring. Renowned jewelry designer Scott Kay produces exquisite, unique bands in platinum and palladium.

2. Metals. Consider using a two-tone ring or a higher quality metal than the industry standard of 14-karat gold. You may want a higher grade of gold, such as 18-karat, which can give your ring a more yellowish hue. Besides Scott Kay’s platinum and palladium offerings, you may also want to consider white gold offerings by Tacori.

3. Diamond Shapes. There are many diamond shapes that can be used to create a beautiful solitaire ring. Of course, the most popular shape tends to be round, but you can also consider Marquise, pear, emerald and oval-shaped stones. Some even choose to a heart shaped diamond.

4. Setting. The most popular setting is the prong setting and the size and number of prongs vary according to the size and shape of the stone. Many also choose bezel, tension and flush settings for solitaire rings.

5. Diamond Quality. You will want to get the best possible diamond for any ring, but especially for a solitaire, where the stone is so prominently on display. You will want to be familiar with the 4 c’s of diamond education: (cut, clarity, carat, color) to figure out the perfect combination for your taste.
