Tacori uses miscroscopes to do their iconic detailing, making bespoke and unmatcheable.

When it comes to engagement rings, every detail matters. 

For couples in Ottawa searching for the perfect symbol of their love, Tacori engagement rings stand out as a truly exceptional choice. 

These rings, offered at La Maison d'Or, blend timeless elegance with bespoke craftsmanship, creating a unique experience for every couple. 

According to Jessica Harden, Tacori Specialist and Design Consultant of La Maison d'Or, Tacori rings offer a level of personalization that goes beyond aesthetics—they allow you to craft a love story that’s uniquely yours.

What Makes Tacori Engagement Rings Unique?

Tacori is known for its handcrafted details, which set it apart from other luxury brands. While many rings may look similar from the top, it’s the intricate side profiles that truly make Tacori rings special. 

Many people take their existing diamond and set it into a new custom Tacori setting.

“You can have a classic look on the top, but the side details are just for you,” Jessica explains. "Other brands have tried to replicate Tacori’s detailing, but none match the finesse of their handcrafted designs."

Each Tacori ring is made by artisans who pay meticulous attention to every detail. From vintage-inspired touches to modern minimalism, Tacori offers designs that resonate with a wide range of tastes. Whether you lean towards a classic style or crave something contemporary with clean lines and straight edges, Tacori offers endless possibilities.

Turning Your Dream Ring Into Reality

One of the most appealing aspects of choosing a Tacori engagement ring is its infinite customizability. 

As Jessica points out, “Any element of a Tacori ring can be customized.” At La Maison d'Or, the process begins with sitting down with clients and finding a ring design they love. If a client likes different elements from multiple rings, they can merge them into one design.

The handcrafted nature of Tacori rings allows for a level of personalization that is difficult to achieve with mass-produced rings. 

Whether it’s adjusting the bloom size of a halo to give the illusion of a larger centre stone or combining design elements from different eras, Tacori provides clients with the flexibility to create something truly one-of-a-kind.

Memorable Customizations

One of Jessica’s favourite customizations involved merging two design eras into a single ring. “We took a classic Tacori ring and modernized the top with a dantela crown,” she recalls. 

Despite their differences, the combination worked beautifully. Another common request is playing with the bloom sizes around the centre stone to create a larger, more dramatic effect while maintaining an understated elegance from the top view.

For those looking for a personal touch, subtle engravings or the addition of birthstones are popular ways to incorporate a couple’s story into the ring. In one memorable customization, Jessica used Tacori’s signature crescent design to set birthstones representing both partners, adding a meaningful and unique element to the ring.

Ottawa’s Preference for Classic, Understated Designs

In Ottawa, many clients lean towards classic and understated designs when customizing their Tacori engagement rings. The beauty of Tacori’s rings is that the top view can remain simple and elegant, while the side profile allows for a more personal and intricate design. This resonates with Ottawa couples who want a timeless look with hidden details that make the ring uniquely theirs.

Vintage-inspired designs are also highly popular among clients at La Maison d'Or. Tacori’s vintage look, combined with modern touches like straight edges and clean lines, offers a perfect balance of tradition and contemporary style.

Timeline and Considerations for Custom Tacori Rings

For couples interested in customizing a Tacori ring, the process typically takes 4 to 6 weeks from the initial consultation to the final product. While there aren’t any specific challenges tied to Tacori, Jessica notes that it’s important to consider a client’s lifestyle when designing a ring. Ensuring that the piece is strong and practical, while staying true to the client’s vision, is key.

Price considerations are also a crucial part of the process, but as Jessica notes, it’s very easy to respect a client’s budget with Tacori’s customizable options. This flexibility allows each couple to get as close as possible to their dream ring without compromising on quality.

Personalizing Your Story

Many clients want to incorporate personal stories or symbols into their Tacori designs, often in a subtle way. 

Whether it’s an engraving, a special setting, or a birthstone, these personal touches add a deeper connection to the ring. “People love the idea of paying homage to their love story in a way that feels intimate and meaningful,” says Jessica.

Advice for Couples Considering a Custom Tacori Ring

If you’re considering a custom Tacori engagement ring, Jessica has one key piece of advice: “Come in and try them on. Online is great, but nothing replaces coming in and seeing how the ring looks and feels on your hand,”. Many clients come in with a dream ring they’ve admired online, only to find it doesn’t suit them in person.

She also recommends bringing your partner along, even if you’re hoping for an element of surprise. After a visit, Jessica takes discrete information and follows up with the partner, so the final choice still feels like a spontaneous discovery.
