The ring part of an engagement ring is a space to add meaningful details that give a ring a unique and inimitable character.

Classic Crescent Fabric
Ring setting style: Elegant and timeless
The Classic Crescent started it all, and was born of a spirit of inventiveness. When TACORI founder Haig Tacorian commissioned artisan Garo Karounian to create a ring with a hidden symbol of love, Garo artfully inverted the top half of a heart and etched it into the inner face of a ring. The shape was disguised as a side-by-side pattern of Crescents.
The Crescents are as structural as they are beautiful. The negative space in between each allows light to shine through and interact with the round-brilliant diamonds that are set into each arch shape.
Good to know:
Every Classic Crescent ring features pavé on the ceiling. Add that to the round-brilliant diamonds on the inner face silhouette, and this is the right ring for someone who loves the classic elegance of diamonds.
Dantela Crescent Fabric
Ring setting style: Intricate, lace-like, and alluring
The Dantela Crescent Fabric features diamond studded half moon tracery, edged with hand hewn milgrain for an airy and heirloom-caliber motif. Taking inspiration from the Romanian word for ‘lace’, it completely embodies its namesake; the Dantela Crescent Fabric is intricate, complex, and alluring. To achieve such a delicate and alluring design, TACORI artisans use precise milgrain detailing and compact pavé diamond setting. It’s a remarkable display of skill and craftsmanship.
Behind the Design:
The original Dantela collection, designed by Haig Tacorian, featured the intricate Dantela Crescent just beneath the crown. But sixteen years later, TACORI Head of Design Nadine Tacorian reinvented the piece by translating the lace-like details to the inner face silhouette. The Dantela Crescent fabric is a feat of engineering, because the complexity of the negative space and open tracery wouldn’t have been possible even a few years ago. But as Haig Tacorian says, “everything has to be reinvented.” And with that, the Dantela Collection has come full circle.
Founder’s Crescent
Ring Setting Style: Modern and minimalist
When Haig Tacorian set out to design this fabric, he wanted to show how a subtle detail can make a profound impact. He reimagined his original Signature Crescent as a glittering diamond-studded ellipse formed by pavé-set diamonds on the resting point. While the original Signature Crescent appears on other Crescent Fabrics, only the Founder’s Crescent features the reinvented version.
Characterized by clean lines and elegant simplicity, this fabric holds a modern allure.
Petite Crescent
Ring setting style: Intricate and diamond intense
In the realm of Crescent Fabrics, the Petite Crescent is the superior showcase of diamond intensity. On the inner face silhouette, round-brilliant diamonds are set into TACORI Crescents. But the unmatched radiance comes from the French Pavé set diamonds on the ceiling, a technique which uses less metal to create a diamond-forward effect. French Pavé diamonds are visible from the profile, allowing more light play with the exposed diamond facets.
Simply TACORI
Ring setting style: Modern, sophisticated, and elegant
When Nadine Tacorian, TACORI head of design, became engaged, she quite naturally wanted to design her own ring. Her goal in doing so was to pay homage to her family’s legacy by incorporating the Crescent, while also showcasing her individuality. By adding Crescents just beneath the crown and leaving the majority of the foundation with a clean, high-polish finish, the ring created a focal point around the center stone.
At first glance, it appears as a classic solitaire. But the hidden Crescents and hidden bloom just beneath the crown add intricacies and unexpected beauty. Simply TACORI rings are defined by their dainty and modern foundations with a touch of meticulous detail.
Sculpted Crescent
Ring setting style: Versatile and sophisticated
The Sculpted Crescent fabric displays the TACORI Crescent in its most minimalist form - a clean arc shape achieved through a gently recessed area that creates a striking tone-on-tone texture. In its seemingly effortless simplicity, the Sculpted Crescent is an inventive play on light and shadow.
The versatile design of the Sculpted Crescent fabric leaves room for personal touches. Hand-beaded details add texture to the minimalist silhouette, while its clean foundation complements any ceiling - from high-polish to pavé - beautifully.
Lunetta
Ring setting style: Romantic
Our newest Crescent fabric is utterly romantic. With half-moon windows of light that glow across the inner face phases, the Lunetta Crescent reimagines the iconic Classic Crescent with an element of moonlit romance. The Crescents are reversed and formed from negative space, creating windows of light that exude a soft luminosity with a touch of texture, courtesy of the hand-beading and pinpoint diamonds.
As a distinctive, hidden detail, Crescent Fabrics transform every ring into a celebration of the beauty found in unexpected places, and in turn, serves as a reminder to revel in all of life’s beautiful details.
