Get the full story behind the iconic Simply TACORI Collection.    Growing up in the jewelry business, Nadine's penchant for design was influenced by her upbringing. But her confident and self-assured sense of style? That was all her own. She'd observed many design trends come and go over the years, but her affinity for sleek and uncomplicated styles was steadfast. When Nadine got engaged in the early 2000s, TACORI's rings were renowned for intricate and diamond-filled styles. Meaningful details were infused into every angle. These were diamond-intense rings, replete with pavé diamond ceilings and diamond-studded [Crescent fabric](https://www.tacori.com/discover-crescent-fabrics) tracing the majority of the inner faces.  But the ring that Nadine envisioned for herself was subtle, and approached TACORI's intricate details from a totally unprecedented and contemporary angle. Her personal taste showed the Crescent in new perspective.  ## Balancing Tradition & Transformation Nadine set out to design a ring that would pay homage to [her family's legacy](https://www.tacori.com/about-tacori), while showcasing her individuality. In the engagement ring that she designed for herself, the majority of the foundation maintained a high-polish finish, but TACORI Crescents and a hidden bloom just beneath the crown gave the piece a strong focal point. [A Signature Crescent](https://www.tacori.com/discover-crescent-fabrics) at the resting point added balance to the design. ![Nadine Tacorian with her Simply TACORI diamond engagement ring](https://blog.tacori.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2%20copy.png?width=687&height=458&name=2%20copy.png) At first glance, the ring appeared to be a simple solitaire. But those secret Crescents beneath and a hidden bloom beneath the crown added hidden details that delivered unexpected beauty, often just when she needed it most. "*Picture this: I'm stuck in the dreaded LA traffic, my hand idly resting on the steering wheel, when suddenly, the sunlight catches my hidden bloom. It's like a little reminder that fills me with gratitude for all that I have.*" [![Minimalist engagement ring with hidden details](https://blog.tacori.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(8)-2.png?width=1200&height=800&name=Untitled%20design%20(8)-2.png)](https://www.tacori.com/engagement-rings/collections/simply-tacori/)     # The First Simply TACORI Engagement Ring Originally crafted for herself, Nadine's ring soon captivated the hearts of other women who longed for that same touch of thoughtful simplicity.
