Do any bees have a Tacori wedding band? Or did you go with something else?

    I have a Tacori e-ring (my dream ring) and I've always wanted a "set."  I was wondering what the bees with Tacoris decided to do for their wedding bands.

    I'm still waiting on my Tacori to come in (should be this month!!). FH and I are planning to get Tiffany bands - he wants a plain platinum one and I want a plain rose gold one that fits nicely against the e-ring. it all works better for our budget than the 'suggested' eternity band from Tacori, and he said he wanted a Tiffany ring, so why not. I like the idea that our wedding bands will come from the same place.

    @confettiegg2000:  Yay!  That will be neat that yours came from the same place.  Yea, I won't be getting the eternity band that matches mine for sure and the half-eternity is still expensive but I'm hoping for that one.  I'm trying to check out all the options.

    I got the thinnest half-eternity Tacori band to match my ring.  DH said that if I had to send in my rings to get resized, it would be annoying to send my e-ring back to Tacori and then get my wedding band sized separately.  He also loves the detailing on my e-ring which the band mimics, so we went for it.  I do get that its a big investment tho!

    I think tacori rings are gorgeous!!  Like any female I sure enough oogled over them.  However, I think they are a bit expensive and if you can afford it great.  I thought it be better to use the money toward a nicer center stone or a wedding band.  Any good, reputable jeweler can recreate a tacori setting to your liking too.

    @Ginger123:  I have seen your rings around and I love them!  They do mimic each other. :)  That's the thing I love is the details and I'm worried a jeweler won't be able to "copy" them.

    @MASPA:  I totally understand what you mean.  My e-ring and band will be pave set and I've heard a lot about them falling out.  But I've had such great luck with this one I'm afraid a jeweler won't make the same quality.  It's probably silly but I am OCD about things matching.

    I have a Tacori ering back still am unsure about what to do for wedding bands.  The matching pave is nice but at $1,800- it aint that special! I have a 2620 so trying to find something to go with it shouldnt be too difficult but I havent found it yet, oh well- another thing to obsess about!

    I have a Tacori e-ring and I'm not sure what I will end up getting for a band. I love the one that "goes" with my engagement ring but it's an eternity and I want a 1/2 eternity so I can size it if I need to... I guess when the time comes I'll just pick what I like best on.

    @bas0587:  They will make the eternity into a 1/2 if you want.  That is what I'm going to do.

    I went custom. I originally was set on the Tacori band and actually asked to see 3 or 4 different ones they also said would match but I really disliked the look. I didn't like how thin and small the band was in comparison and i didnt like how the diamonds were set so I decided to increase the size of the diamonds in the band and created my own band with my jeweler using my own height and width specifications. Even my jeweler, a Tacori vendor, told me that he preferred it to the suggested matching band. However, my ring doesn't have the pave shanks and is smoothe. My jeweler and I agreed that if I had the pave shanks I would have gone with the matching so that the diamond shanks match the band perfectly.

    Do any bees have a Tacori wedding band?  Or did you go with something else? :  wedding Photo 21I have the same question! I love my tacori but the suggested band , I am pretty sure, is their most expensive. I was also thinking of having black diamonds instead of the norm. So I am not quite sure.. Maybe for a future anniversary FI will get me the matching band.. right now... i don't think it is going to happen.

    I went for the matching band.  I have a 2628 with sapphire side stones and pave half way down the band and selected the 2630bmd half eternity ring so that I can size it later on if I need to.  I really liked how the pave on the band matches the pave on my e-ring.

    @MrsNeutrino:  mm yes, I drooled over your ring not long ago.:)  I didn't realize it had a "matching" band.  

    @918Lux:  That's what I'm worried about - matching paves. I have tried some others on and they were all too tall/didn't match or something was off.

    @MrsCoachBtoBee: :-D !! You know, I just hate the thought of all of the fancy tacori-ness being blocked by a plain band. Not that it won't look beautiful.. I just think the craftmanship on their rings are so outstanding that it irks me to put a plain band in front of it to block the face. Maybe ill check out tacori for QVC :-p. AND YES, they have a stunning matching eternity band!

    Because I got the e-ring I wanted, I deferred to my soon-to-be for our wedding bands. Never was a big fan of matching sets, but he got us a great pair of tungsten rings from Tungsten World. So, I have my dream ring and then tough ring for everyday wear.

    This was what the matching band was for my ring looked like. It's the same band that is recommended for the 2620. When I put it on I just felt it was too thin and didn't have the look I wanted.

    @bas0587: I think it ended up being less. When I was shopping for eternity bands with Tacori, I was going to get a 2/3 or 3/4 eternity and it was about two or three hundred less than the full. Depends on the metal type and what width of the band.

    @bas0587:  They're usually less becuase there's less diamonds. :)  They can also make them wider/less wide if you want.  They're pretty flexible on that stuff I think.

    @Aug2011Bride:  Thank you for posting!  I like both. :)  Is your e-ring 2mm?  What about the band?

    @MrsCoachBtoBee: My e-ring is 1.7-1.8mm, spacer is 1mm and the band is 2mm. I love that I can wear it alone when I don't feel like wearing my e-ring! The tacori band didn't have the same look when alone to me? I'm not sure why. I think I'm just fussy maybe?

    Interesting discussion!  I have a Tacori engagement ring (LOVE IT), but the matching band is $2,200 & I think that's ridiculous.  I am thinking we will either get a really simple band (it's all about the e-ring, anyway, really), or skip the band & wait until our first anniversary to get a fancier band or something...

    I got the "matching" wedding band, but I have a simpler Tacori than a lot of what's out there.  It was still definitely pricier than similar bands, but there's side details that I love that I really wanted to match.Do any bees have a Tacori wedding band?

    Luckily for DH, there is a "cheaper" one I would "settle" for. Cool

    Kidding.

    Actually, I was thinking about getting a sapphire band to stack with my set.  This one is white gold (and my set is platinum), but it might be fun to play around with:

    I just received my matching Tacori band today!! I love that all of the designs match my e-ring, a little disappointed on how thin and fragile the band is but non the less BEAUTIFUL. I strongly suggest that if your Tacori e-ring has plenty of beautiful detail on it, you should go with the matching band :)

    @MrsCoachBtoBee: But of course!  Smile  I have had the hardest time getting good pictures of my ring...  They usually end up really blurry!  I feel like photos really don't do Tacori rings justice. They're so intricate & beautiful in person.

    All of your rings are gorgeous, too!
