I am looking for engagement rings this week and was wondering if you could give me some good places to go or websites. I am looking for a ring that does not have the center stone already included as I would like to have aquamarine as the center stone. I would also like it to be a set with the wedding band with it. I would like the price to be under 1300 total with everything. Thanks so much for your help!

I like unusual, modern settings that feature a solitary stone, or a two stone bypass style.I also like heirloom style, especially art-deco. I prefer colored gemstones to diamonds….settings can be either platinum or yellow gold depending on the stones, some look better in white metals, some look better in yellow.

Go to your local jewelers, the private ones first before the chain stores…many offer loose stones and settings for a custom look….and beautiful choice, the aquamarine.

I have an TACORI ring that I’ve bought from QVC a while back. (Its not an engagement ring) Like most rings, they have a stamp inside that tells you where it came from.

In this case, the QVC ring is an original Tacori ring and also indicates that it’s from Thailand.

For those who have a Tacori ENGAGEMENT ring, do you have any other stamps besides the TACORI letterings in it?

no a tacori ring should only have it’s stamp of tacori on the inside and the metal type. other then that no other stamping stating where it was made.

Engagement ring first then wedding band, or wedding band first then engagement ring? And are there any stories, superstitions, etc., about the order to wear the rings? Thanks!

You wedding band goes on first (closer to your heart), then your engagement ring.
