Like many family-run businesses, Tacori began as a mom-and-pop shop, literally. Mr. and Mrs. Tacorian opened a small jewelry company in Southern California and started designing luxury jewelry. Each piece was made entirely by hand with a unique and distinctive European flair. It wasn't long before Tacori caught the eye of local jewelry lovers.

As the company began to grow, the other members of the family were asked to lend a hand. The children of the founders, Paul and Nadine, learned the family business at an early age and carried on a tradition that now includes three generation of the Tacorian family.

But Tacori is more than just a family affair. The growth of the company since its founding in 1985 has been nothing short of astonishing. Most jewelry designers have a handful of full-time employees. The Tacorians have 125 people who work for them. As the company continues to grow and expand into other areas of the jewelry industry, they recently began offering fine jewelry. That number is sure to increase. What makes them so special?

Tacori wedding rings are widely considered the best in the industry, according to people in the know. Jewelry makers all respect and admire what the family has accomplished in a relatively short period of time. And jewelry dealers long to become authorized Tacori dealers. They are all aware of the popularity of Tacori rings and that most Tacori dealers experience a boost in business shortly after they sign.

If style alone were enough to sell jewelry, every designer in the world would be involved in the business, since jewelry making can be incredibly profitable. But there's a reason why only a precious few excel at this ancient art.  Tacori rings are famous for their superior craftsmanship, detail and design. The process the company uses to create all Tacori wedding rings is known as the Tacori Touch. It begins with a simple sketch that is hand drawn by a master designer. If the sketch is approved, an intensive four-week handcrafting process begins.

All of the stones used in Tacori wedding rings are handset to perfectly match the setting. Tacori rings spend weeks with the goldsmiths who hand sculpt finely detailed scrolling and millgrain. All Tacori rings feature the designer's trademarked Crescent Silhouette.

Once completed, Tacori rings are inspected to ensure quality excellence. If the ornament is perfect in every way, the stones are given a final polish to reveal the stunning luster of some of the world's finest diamonds, which are hand-picked by certified gemologists.

Tacori wedding rings are only sold through authorized Tacori dealers. They do not sell their jewelry directly to the public. Tacori personally chooses each authorized dealer based on reputation and and experience in the industry.
