This Blooming Beauties selection by Tacori features exquisite detailing from crown to foundation. Tacori’s signature crescent shapes are threaded through the design and brilliant accent diamonds flank and encircle the central diamond for a blinding show of sparkle.

The crown features a Lumino setting for both the center and side diamonds, allowing light to flood through and lift this ring to new levels of sparkle. We think this 1.055ct F-VS2 princess cut diamond would be the perfect fit for this royal design. The Lumino setting will emphasize the exceptional quality that an A CUT ABOVE® diamond has to offer.

Clean, simple lines and a classic style; this Vatche setting lets the diamond do the talking. The six-prong crown gives great security making this setting suitable for larger carat weights and at $1,600 it leaves you a lot of budget to dedicate to an exceptional diamond.

The micro-pavé in this Ritani solitaire demonstrates modern craftsmanship at its finest. While this design can be set with a variety of diamond shapes, so we have chosen this stunning A CUT ABOVE® Collection Series diamond to bring the finest in modern high-precision performance to this contemporary setting.

We adore the split-shank in this Ritani design. It creates space and openness on the finger for a structured but delicate appearance. The four-prong head and hidden diamond detail creates the perfect showcase for this big, bold and beautiful 1.708 carat Super Ideal cut diamond. Sparkling design details worthy of a stunning diamond!

The shared prongs and soft, round brilliant melee of this Benchmark solitaire engagement ring are set with lifted prongs to hold your diamond on high.

We have chosen to ignite true romance and sentiment by pairing it with this incredible 1.52ct H-VS2 A CUT ABOVE® Princess; an incredible combination for the one that you love – and still under $15,000.

A.Jaffe uses a quilted interior to bring a luxurious feel to the wearer. It also serves another purpose; it helps to keep the central diamond in place on the finger and presenting nicely. This is an excellent feature for those considering a bigger carat weight. The sparkling halo frames the center diamond in a tight embrace. We think this 1.162ct G VS1 precision cut diamond is the perfect centerpiece for this striking halo design.

This stunning designer setting by Tacori sings with renaissance romance and twinkles with intricate detailing. An engagement ring crafted with such skill deserves a diamond worthy of its beauty. A $15,000 budget means this stunning setting can be paired with this exceptional H-VS1 round brilliant diamond from our A CUT ABOVE® collection.

Step cuts are all about showing the depth and clarity of the diamond and this Dantela engagement ring by Tacori uses a diamond crown to illuminate your emerald cut diamond. Lit from all angles, it uses classic Tacori detailing to unleash the unique properties of a step cut diamond in a glittering display of contemporary design. This 1.20ct E-VS2 emerald cut diamond will give icy white sparkle and pristine lines to twinkle perfectly alongside the Tacori embellishment.

The structured tapering of this classic setting by Ritani gives a clean and elegant backdrop – it demands an exceptional diamond to bring it to life and at $440, there is plenty left in the budget to find something sensational.
