Subtle Luxury for the Groom

You probably know the name Tacori from their beautiful wedding and engagement rings for women. However, the company also has some really interesting men's wedding bands that allow grooms to enjoy a bit of sexy - but secret - luxury. The fancy details, like diamonds and engraving, are located INSIDE the band and along the edge, or "shank," of the ring. Your guy can walk around feeling like a prince without worrying that he's coming off as too flashy.

Top left: Check out the low-key luxe of this 18K white gold men’s band. It has a highly polished finish with diamond accents along the edge. A tiny 5-crescent design adds further cachet. The width of the band is approximately 5 mm. 

Top right: This 18K red gold men’s band has a softly pebbled texture, except for the edge. That small strip is highly polished and plain on the outside, but has a bit of engraved flair hidden within. Width of the band: approximately 6 mm. 

Bottom left: This 18K yellow gold men’s band is also softly pebbled, but with an added twist. The subtle miligrain edge has small diamond accents and a 5-crescent design. Width: 6 mm. 

Bottom Right: Super hot! The elaborate hand-engraving on this platinum band appears on the inside edges only. Pave diamonds line the edge of this 6.5 mm band. 

Each of these beauties are hand-made for the lucky groom. All designs are available in Platinum and 18K gold.

Charlotte de Syllas

Attention, Osteopaths! Here's a really beautiful necklace that looks like a study in bones. In fact, it's made of 18k gold and cacholong. Never heard of it? Me either. But now I know it's a form of opal and -- though it comes in various hues -- the milky white variety is the most popular. The necklace is by Charlotte de Syllas. Photo: Jasper Vaughan

Studio Numen

Dome-style rings are still going strong. Here's the take from French jeweler Baccarat. Top: the Medicis Ring in ruby crystal and 18k yellow gold. Bottom: the Tango Ring in Onyx crystal and ruby crystal.
