(PRESS RELEASE) SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Brilliant Earth, a global leader in ethically-sourced bridal and fine jewelry, debuts a new exclusive bridal collection designed in partnership with Tacori. The avant premiere collection consists of six engagement rings and four wedding bands inspired by the delicate and feminine details of a wedding gown and defined by hidden accents and Tacori’s timeless, distinctive aesthetic.
A timely debut, as the Knot predicts 2022 will be a record high wedding year with an estimated 2.6 million weddings happening in the U.S. With postponements and reschedules, this collection ushers in a new year filled with celebration.
“At Tacori, we’re all about the small details – the subtle touches that make a piece unique and give it a story of its own,” shared Nadine Tacorian Arzerounian, COO and design director of Tacori. “This collection was inspired by those intricate bridal details – whether it be the beading on a bodice, the draping of a gown, or hidden embroidery in a veil. We drew upon these delicate details and brought them to life through design.” She adds that, “Coupled with Brilliant Earth’s foundation of ethical sourcing and transparency, this partnership truly demonstrates a level of care and craftsmanship that is unmatched in this industry.”
Rooted in a shared love of design, the partnership is reflective of both brands’ ongoing commitments to provide customers with exquisite jewelry held to exceptional standards. Co-Founder and CEO of Brilliant Earth, Beth Gerstein, notes on the collection, “We are so excited to kick off the new year with a deeper partnership with Tacori. Each of these pieces exemplifies our commitment to providing our customers with design individuality, expert craftsmanship, and sustainable fine jewelry.”
The new collection is comprised of four varying design motifs, each with their own unique and modern elements:
The Solitaire Suite underscores the attention to detail in the overall collection – the three engagement rings within are classic and timeless, inspired by the draping found in elegant bridal gowns. While the center stone basket and ring foundation shape vary within this collection, all have stunning milgrain details that evoke couture bridal wear.
The Pear Foundation design is an intricately detailed engagement ring that puts a spotlight on pear-shaped diamonds wrapped around the ring. Diamond accents and beading enhance both the gallery around the center stone as well as the pear-shaped diamonds on the band. The Three-Stone Marquise Ring offers a modern twist to a classic three-stone style by featuring marquise diamonds. The visual impact of the design was considered from 360 degrees; from the raised Tacori crescents on the shoulders, to the milgrain beading outlining each area, the ring elegantly shines from every angle.
The Knife Edge ring reimagines this classic silhouette with delicate hidden crescents and a beautiful array of pave diamonds, emphasizing the size of the center stone.
Each gem and precious metal is ethically sourced and offered in: 18K yellow gold, 18K white gold, platinum and 18K rose gold. Fueled by industry-leading online visualization and customization tools, Brilliant Earth also offers customers the functionality to personalize their own center diamond or gemstone within this collection as part of Brilliant Earth’s signature Create Your Own Experience. Prices range from $2,490-$5,340 and will be available to purchase exclusively at select Brilliant Earth Showrooms and online at www.BrilliantEarth.com, beginning January 10th, 2022 through July 2022.
