Tacori Rosebud - from Tacori Koala

[Carolynw]

Hi,

I finally received the Tacori Rosebud, it is a remake from the Koala that Tacori makes.
It is much better, fits perfect, doesn''t hurt as the Koala did, etc.. Here is the final
picture of my ring. I have many postings on here of what i have been through
with Tacori and finalizing this ring. Basically, i got the Koala with Eternity
and it didnt fit, so i tried having Tacori increase the size 1/4, which they were
unable to do, so i had to have them remake it, and picked the Rosebud instead.
I also during the whole ordeal even had them put the Rosebud head on the Koala,
which still didn''t look right. Finally it''s done, fits fine. I also have a sizing
bar on bottom just in case, it''s not an issue, looks fine, and doesn''t spin because
it fits properly.

yay!! i''m glad you finally received your ring...and it fits!!

very very nice!

Ah, Carolyn, it''s stunning! I remember when you were going through the various changes, trying to get it right. I can certainly sympathize since I went through the whole "new head on old ring" fiasco last year that I regretted.

I''m so glad that you finally have it to your liking. It''s a gorgeous set! I love the side profile of the wedding band...such pretty detail work!

And of course your center stone is still beautiful and amazing.

I''m so glad they finally got it RIGHT

What a beautiful set and looks stunning on your hand and I agree with patty, your center stone

Thank you so much. Yes, it has been quite a nightmare, and i had to pay alittle to Tacori
to have them redo the eternity set. Only thing i can recommend to someone if they
get those eternity rings, is try the size on early morning when your fingers are swollen
the most. I made the mistake and tried the size on afternoon, and in the morning
I couldn''t even get the ring off and it was so uncomfortable. Eternity rings
are scary because really it doesn''t look right if you resize them, especially the Tacori ones.
Tacori tried to bring it up 1/4 size and i could see the marks on the ring, and how much
thinner it was on the inside, it didn''t look right. Im much safer going with a little sizing
bar just in case i ever feel like changing the sizes.
I do love it, and displays the center much more with the thinnner ring 2.5 instead of 4.00
that my Koala set had, I listened and Mara was right.

 

[Patty]

Carolyn, were you able to return your Koala set?

I remember you saying earlier that you could not return your wider Koala wedding band.

Oh Carolyn I am so happy they fianlly got it right. It''s beautiful and is a lovely set!!! I bet it was worth the wait!!!

Hi Patty,

Answering your questions, Was I able to return the Koala set.
What Tacori did was take the Koala back, and credit me for the diamonds,
not the setting. I had to pay an extra 2600 to have them remake the ring.
Yes, it is a lot, but i couldn''t wear the Koala, so it was worth it to me.
It was my fault really for not getting the correct size in the first place.
One thing however, is that when i tried on the Koala set, the width
of the sample ring was about 3 mm thickness for both ering and wband.
But, when Tacori sent me the Koala, it was about 3.8 and 4.00 mm for both rings,
which made it a difference in size needed. I needed 6 1/4 when it was alittle
thinner, and then when they made it 6 1/4, it didn''t fit because of how much
thicker the Koala set was, so really i should have ordered 6 1/2, but i didnt''
know they would make the thickness not the same as the sample. Tacori
makes the rings hand made somewhat, so it''s hard to get it exact.

That''s lovely! So elegant.

Love your rings!

it sounds like you and ''punchnpie75'' had similar tacori sizing nightmares

glad it all worked out. anyone thinking of getting a tacori eternity set, needs to proceed with caution, i think.

i will say again though....your set is beautiful!!

 

[Patty]

Yes, Carolyn, I can see how a 3mm ring would fit differently than a 4mm band. It''s too bad that they didn''t let you return the rings for a full credit but I''m glad that you finally got it so that you are happy. It would be terrible to always look at your rings and be unhappy or to have them feel uncomfortable. Now you can relax and enjoy them!

 

[AChiOAlumna]

I was sorry to hear about all your sizing issues, and that you had to pay to get the ring remade, but as long as you are happy, we are happy for you. I love the Tacori style and your rings are beautiful. Congrats!! I like your idea of having the sizing bar and being able to adjust easily when you need to.

 

[glaucomflecken]

Carolyn they are BEAUTIFUL. I am so happy it worked out for you! Yes, I have had a time with my Tacori but we will get it right soon. I encourage anyone getting any brand eternity band to get the proper size, if it takes you a year to get it!

congrats carolyn and keep in touch!

I like this particular set very much. Beautiful detail but not too much going on, so the center stone really pops. It looks fabulous on you!

definitely agree! thats what I love about Tacori designs, they have so much too look at from every angle and side yet are very feminine and delicate so as not to make you dizzy!
