Hi Bees,
This is officially my first post! :)
What are your thoughts on the Tacori 2627RD? My boyfriend and I are a few weeks into the great e-ring hunt. I initially fell in love with this ring, but then talked myself out of it because I was worried it wasn't classic/timeless enough and because I was worried about how the wedding band would sit with it.
What are your thoughts?

Also, there's this style to consider as well (2565):

Welcome to the Hive! :) Congratulations on a huge step in your relationship, sounds like it's going to happen soon! I love both rings, but am partial towards the first one you chose. It is DEFINITELY timeless and so so gorgeous!
I think they're both lovely. Personally, though, I love the sparkle of round brilliant stones, and it looks like the second has that shape. So I'd go for that one.
But the cut of the second (ascher?) makes it look vintagy, which is also nice..
You have great taste!
I love both of those rings! I have a Tacori too so I'm a little biased ;) They look very timeless to me. While they are both gorgeous, I just absolutely adore the 2565! I don't think you could go wrong here, even if the band doesn't sit flush. Good luck with the search!
I don't necessarily consider 2627 timeless but I do think it's gorgeous. I prefer 2565 but I'm not a halo person.
I'm not really sure why, but I like the second one better!
Oh! Another thought... as you're trying on rings, have the salesperson break out different kinds of wedding rings. You don't necessarily have to buy them together, but it will give you an idea of how the rings might look together.
I love tacori!! I love the halo look, but think it's more "trendy" these days. I would say the first one is more "classic."
Also, I didn't really worry so much about the wedding band when I got my e-ring. I know a lot of people buy them as a set, but I think there are so many options out there that you could find a band to match your e-ring no matter what.
I prefer the one that you posted without the halo. The twisty band is beautiful!
I am a huge halo person, I have one myself, but I love the 2nd ring the most for some reason. Have you been able to try them both on? You really wont know what one is for you until you see it on your hand.
Welcome!
I prefer the second ring (without the halo) but that's becuase Im also not a huge fan halos...unless they're super subtle (there are a few I've seen here from tacori that I love!). But I do think they are both gorgeous and will both stand the test of time. As for the wedding band, Im sure you could get something that will match from tacori...or have something custom made at a local jeweler with the same style (and probably much cheaper).
@Countrymousecitymouse: Hi and welcome! I like the second ring better but, to me, neither is really classic or timeless. You probably need to go try something similar on with a band and see if the gap bothers you. I have a Tacori 413RD75 and it's about as timeless/classic as Tacori gets. It also sits perfectly flush with the band. The rings are beautiful though!
I prefer the second too. But it depends cause it's hard to say without pictures of it on your hand. Either way, both are beautiful and as long as you love it! It's all that matters. I'm probably in the minority but I wouldn't buy a tacori to be "classic", I'd just get a simple solitaire and call it a day. Even pave and diamond shanks can be considered trendy. (and I do I have a tacori). The brand is about intricate designs and details and you pay a premium for it. So if I'm going to pay extra, I want it to be different and distinctly Tacori. It may not be classic in the traditional sense, but the styles are "classic tacori". So no worries, if you love the ring you will love it forever and you'll make it your own. Don't worry about what others may think or about it not looking classic. As for bands, tacori makes matching bands or you can always custom one when the time comes. Happy shopping!!
I have tried on both and I found the first one with the halo to be too much, it wasnt really classic to me- it was more like 'how many more diamonds can we fit on this thing.' I like the second one much better and was actually going to get it but I worried about the wedding band issue too and ultimately chose another Tacori.
You guys are all amazing! Thanks so much for all of your helpful insight and feedback!
I do agree with what seems to be the majority about the second one - the center stone seems to be featured/highlighted so much more.
Decisions, decisions! :)
I'll see if I can take some pictures of the rings on my finger when we go shopping again next weekend. In the meantime, please post your own pictures if you have them! I've seen a few out there, but would appreciate seeing a few more.
I have the 2565RD- i'm biased but i LOVE it, obviously! I think it's so delicate and pretty looking.
I think it is more timeless than the first, halos are very pretty but I don't find them classic at all. Plus if you have a great center stone you don't need the stuff around it to distract.
I am not sure if either ring is 'timeless,' but short of a solitaire on a plain band, I'm not sure any rings are timeless, I mean even teh colo rmetal you choose dates a ring.
I think if you get any tacori you will lov eit, the details on their rings are really fantastic.
Here's a pic of mine:
Edit: not sure if that' pic is working, work computer is weird!
That is truly gorgeous - congratulations!
You bring up great points about the color, etc.
My gut instinct was this ring, so I feel like I should stop questioning it and just go for it already. :)
I prefer the second link, because that's the one I want! lol Ive been eyeing it for months. I like the radiant cut better than princess with that type of band, its more continous and subtle looking
I've had the Tacori 2565rd9 for 6 months now and I have to say that I still get complements on it from complete strangers every single day. I know that I am biased, but when I look at my ring I just feel like it it the most beautiful ring in the world. The small pave diamonds on the twisted band are so sparkly and catch the light in such a stunning, understated way. This ring is so classic and elegant, it will never be out of style like some of the bulky halo rings that people are getting these days. The first ring looks beautiful as well. Congratulations!
Wow Seaside I thought that ring was amazing from the picture on the website but I just love it on your finger! Can I ask what carat your center stone is and what band you've chosen to accompany it?
I like the second one best but I am partial to round stones and its similar to mine. I think what makes something classic and timeless is all in your own taste. If its something your gut loves, I'd say the decision is made. :)
This is mine....its Neil Lane. I love the style especially the sides and the sparkle is amazing, make it hard to even photograph. What band do you have your eye on to go with them? The pic at the bottom shows the band for mine, actually fits better than the stock photo, not so much gap.
I agree with @mrsjets - yes, let's see the wedding bands! :)
@armyangel2011 - you are so lucky! That is jaw-dropping gorgeous.
@mrscheetos - I think I agree with you. Here's the ringenvy posting I saw with a radiant in the 2565 setting: http://www.ringenvy.com/rings/Tacori_Radiant-Cut,_Platinum_Engagement_Ring&img=3
@kgrnbrg299 - glad to hear that you got such positive responses from people! Your fiancee made an excellent choice. :)
I have the 462RD6, and I never pass up the opportunity to post my lovely ring! I have only had it for about a month so far, and I can't stop staring at it. Mine is very similar to MrsCoachBtoBee's ring, except the band is kinda crescent shaped. I looove it, and I got it because I have tiny hands and rings like the ones you posted just overwhelmed my baby fingers. I like to think mine is timeless and classic. I absolutely love all the Tacoris though, they are just so detailed and beautiful! I suggest when you go shopping to just try on as many as you can, you never really know what you will like til you see it on your finger. Good luck, this is such an exciting time :)
Both are really beautiful! I have a friend with a similiar ring, but with an emerald cut diamond. It's gorgeous.
I agree with PP, the only "timeless" ring is a soliaire. However, my mom has a 6 prong solitaire on a yellow gold band, and I have to say, it looks dated.
So honestly, if you love it now, you'll love it forever.
I have to say that the 2565 seems more timeless to me, although they are both stunning. My best friend has the second one and I drool every time I see it!
i have the 2565 and i love it, although its a pretty bias argument =) I love all of the detail and how great the center diamond looks surrounded by all of the detail diamonds. its truely a gorgeous ring!!
@blondie_bride - Pictures, pretty please? :) I'd love to see it!
They are both wonderful rings! Lucky you!! To me, a round is more timeless than any other shape. Please let us know what you choose!!! Halos are considered very trendy nowadays also, like other bees have been saying. I see the princess halo as very trendy and modern for the time. Good luck in your choosing!
@Cupcake2012 - I definitely understand what you're talking about. I think halos are so stunning, but more and more... I'm not sure if they're what I'm falling in love with.
I think I've now narrowed the search down to the Tacori 2565RD9 or the HOF Wondrous split shank setting (largely thanks to the insight and help from everyone on here!).
@Nicoley1985 - LOVE your ring! It's classic, yet has a little twist of modern to it. Thanks so much for sharing! Are you getting the matchiing wedding band? (I think I saw that at the store - doesn't it curve to fit the e-ring setting?)
"So honestly, if you love it now, you'll love it forever."
Great advice - @pinkandsparkly!
@Countrymousecitymouse: Thanks! I am not positive about the matching band yet.. It doesn't curve to fit the e-ring band because the diamond setting is out of the way enough, so it would sit "flush" (I put that in quotes because it is also scalloped like the band so there would be little gaps where the scallops come in.) I think I'm leaning toward the matching band, but I'll also go try on other non-matching bands to see!
Also, the HOF ring you posted is gorgeous, but I still love the Tacori 2565 more! And I agree with the loving it now, and loving it forever post!
i think my moh has the 2565, or at least it's very similar. she actually had problems finding a band she liked to pair with the e-ring because nothing sat flush with it. here is a pic of her trying on a really bling-y band.
@mrsjets: Sorry I never answered this! Hadnt been on the bee in a while. My center stone is 1.82 cts I think...I have not chosen a wedding band yet. That is teh only bad thing about this ring, the one that matches isn't great and it's hard to find something that goes! I think I might just get a totally diff one and wear it on my right hand
First, Congrats! It sounds like you are well on your way to being a bride-to-be! I personally like the second one better. I think it allows the center stone to be showcased more and its a stunning and timeless ring! Congrats again and good luck with the decision! :)
Well, we went shopping again last night ... and the winner is ... the 2565!
It was just a bit more dainty to me, and, as a few of you mentioned, highlights the center stone more. We also considered the Hearts on Fire split-shank, but I think my heart was set on the Tacori 2565 from the beginning. The store we went to last night had the 2565 with a 1.5 princess-cut center, and it made my jaw drop. I think it will be a little while yet before the BF proposes, but I'll be sure to share pictures as soon as he does! :) Fingers crossed that that's the one he chooses!
Thank you, thank you, thank you ALL for your support and advice!
In the meantime, I had fun playing with the try it on feature on the Tacori website - not the greatest tool, but still fun to play around with:
