Old Meets New In Tacori Mens Wedding Rings
Mens wedding rings by the craftspeople of the Tacorian family typify the expression "old wine in new bottles." Palladium Wedding Bands and other fine pieces of wedding jewelry – which include palladium wedding bands, celtic knot engagement rings and more – combine tradition and contemporary style in ways that are unique, yet difficult to appreciate unless one has actually seen them. The entire Tacori line of mens wedding rings and jewelry are one-of-a-kind pieces that represent the pinnacle of the jewelers' craft.
Space Age Materials
Although mens gold wedding rings remain as popular as ever, new space age materials are rapidly gaining in popularity. Tacori is among the those jewelers who have pioneered the use of such materials in their line of tungsten carbide wedding rings and palladium wedding bands. Tungsten was long used as filament material in old-style incandescent light bulbs; when alloyed with carbon, it is the stuff of rock drilling equipment. Palladium is an exceptionally hard and durable metal; with a melting point of nearly 3000 degrees Fahrenheit, it is both highly scratch and tarnish resistant. Unlike gold, which for all its luster is relatively soft and requires regular polishing, Palladium and tungsten-carbide jewelry will last for generations, making these pieces wonderful heirlooms.
Lasting Tradition
The Tacorian family's roots are in Armenia, the culture of which is very ancient and holds tradition in high regard. However, when it comes to Tacori engagement rings and other pieces, those traditions are not limited to the Caucasus region. Celtic knot engagement rings are among Tacori Jewelers' more popular products.
Although there is no historical nor anthropological evidence to indicate that Celtic knot patterns were ever anything more than decorative, they remain a cherished motif on women's and men's wedding rings.
The Tacorian family appreciates the contemporary as well; their pieces blend the clean, Machine Age influence of Art Deco with the baroque filigrees of Edwardian décor to create wedding jewelry that is truly one-of-a-kind. Incidentally, one of the unique features of this company's wedding jewelry pieces is that they are sold without gems mounted in place; therefore, Tungsten Carbide Wedding Rings do not actually include a diamond. The reason is that Tacorian jewelers believe that the customer should select the gem of his/her choice prior to mounting – yet another reason that Tacori engagement rings and wedding pieces are truly unique.
Whether it's men's wedding rings, Celtic knot engagement rings, palladium wedding bands or nearly anything else wedding-related, you'll find some of the finest pieces in the Tacorian collection. When planning for that special day, you owe it to yourself to take a look at Tacori women's and mens wedding rings first.
Palladium Wedding Bands for Men
Tacori Wedding Bands For Him
Gone are the days of a man's wedding band being a simple circle of gold or platinum. Of course, these traditional options are still available and many men will prefer the simpler statement. However, for those men looking for a little something extra, there is a huge variety of wedding rings to select from.
The Tacori collection has a wide range of wedding bands for the male. From the simple and elegant platinum band, to bands set with diamonds, and the famous engraved Tacori rings.
Hand worked. Tacori wedding bands are well known for being hand made and of a superior quality that will last a lifetime. Many couples love the idea of their wedding rings being made by the one renowned jeweler. This can be a great way to have either matching wedding bands, or wedding bands designed to compliment the other. For example, the bride may have chosen an intricate Tacori engagement ring with engraving and filigree work. While the husband may not be wanting something quite so feminine or intricate, he may like to have a portion of the patterning or carving worked in a more simplistic or masculine manner on his wedding band.
There are also male wedding rings carved or engraved with the eye catching and unique Tacori designs. Scrolls and leaves are two of the more well recognized Tacori signatures for men.
Diamonds. More and more men are opting to have their wedding band set with diamonds. While this trend was initially started by the rich and famous, it has become much more mainstream. Diamonds in a Tacori band can be as subtle or stated as you require. Some men opt to have the same size or number of diamonds in their wedding band as their wife is having in hers. This can be a nice alternative to the totally matching his and hers wedding bands.
Matching his and hers. Many couple decide to have matching his and hers wedding bands. This is a great way of showing a united front to the rest of the world. Matching his and hers wedding bands can be very eye catching and are statements in themselves. There are many Tacori wedding bands that are suitable for both men and women.
Platinum, gold, or two tone. One of the biggest questions facing a male is the type of metal he wants his wedding ring to be made from. Platinum is becoming increasingly popular due to its high shine, luxurious look, and the fact that it will never wear or tarnish. These can be fairly major considerations for any male who may not be quite so diligent in caring for a piece of jewelry as his wife.
Rhodium plated white gold can be a more cost effective option in the short term. However, the rhodium plating needs to be touched up periodically to maintain the high shine, and to prevent the grayer color of the white gold showing through. Platinum or white gold wedding bands are also going to always look fantastic with a stainless steel watch.
Tacori wedding bands are available for men in platinum, white gold, yellow gold or two tone. Two tone wedding rings can be a great way of obtaining visual interest in a wedding band while still maintaining a very masculine look. Two tone can also be an excellent way to perhaps tie in the male's stainless steel watch and the wife's gold jewelry, for those couples who want everything to match.
Custom made Tacori wedding rings for men will not only last a lifetime, but are available in a wide range from simple traditional bands to unique and decorated wedding rings in the designs that Tacori has become famous for.
