Natural vs. Synthetic Diamonds – What Do We Need to Know?

In Romania, the sale of jewellery set with diamonds and precious stones grows more substantial every year. Buyers are refining their tastes, while designers and workshops keep pace with ever more valuable and spectacular creations.

When you buy an engagement ring or a pair of wedding rings with natural diamonds, you don't make the purchase "by the gram". Nobody says: "Hello, I'd like to buy 3.75 grams of diamond ring, please".

18 kt gold is a premium precious metal with qualities far superior to costume jewellery, just as a natural diamond bears no comparison with a white stone (however pompously it may be dubbed "crystal") that has been produced synthetically.

We asked M. Constantinescu, CEO of Diamante.ro/FIRESQ, who would prefer synthetic diamonds in a piece of jewellery, and why:

"It's a matter of choice. Although we sell only internationally certified natural diamonds, we have nothing against technological progress, and therefore nothing against synthetic diamonds or other synthetically produced precious stones, as long as clients are properly informed. Unfortunately, the market is full of all sorts of synthetic substitutes with pompous names that mislead you, and those who do this clearly do so on purpose: hydrothermal emeralds or sapphires, diffusion sapphires or 'man-made' diamonds (notice that they have no names of their own, but instead 'latch onto' the name of the natural stone) are just a few examples."

Whoever prefers the "leftovers" chooses the synthetic

Since it is, after all, a matter of choice, it is good to know exactly how things stand. Historically speaking, the old alchemists spent centuries on end trying to turn lead into gold. Magic formulas, secret potions and... here we are, with modern science and today's advanced technology having brought us to the point where we have gold made from lead.

We asked the CEO of Diamante.ro to comment on this:

"I'm all for the advance of science, up to the point where, in all honesty, we have to say that this gold of the modern alchemists is called costume jewellery, just as modern alchemy has turned glass into crystal or carbon dust into diamond. That's the truth, and anyone who wishes to wear such a piece — in which the gold is not gold and the diamond is not a diamond — is entirely free to do so. There are, for example, synthetic stones made in a laboratory using the dust left over from polishing natural stones — it's rather like cobbling together a 'feast' from the food scraps left on the tables of the rich", says M. Constantinescu.

We have to admit that it isn't a very pleasant image, on the one hand, while on the other our modern person must have options and choose with full knowledge of the facts. And it isn't easy at all, because every day we are bombarded with hundreds of pieces of information from which we have to pick out "the truth".

The buyer of gold jewellery with natural diamonds belongs to a special category of people. And it isn't only about a certain financial status, an aspect not to be ignored, but also about a certain social upbringing.

"It's true that our clients have a certain financial strength, but this aspect becomes somewhat secondary when we're talking about natural versus synthetic stones. As a client, you simply need to know that the fascination of a piece of jewellery lies partly in the fact that a natural mineral has been polished and set in precious metal so as to transform, quite naturally, value into emotion. The internationally certified diamonds we set in our creations are backed by solid guarantees from the most prestigious gemological institutes in the world. Working only with natural precious stones set in 18kt gold, as we do, is already a promise fulfilled across our 24 years in business", says M. Constantinescu, CEO of Diamante.ro/FIRESQ.

When Love Comes Naturally. A Yes, Forever!

A simple YES said at the right moment can, in fact, mark a new beginning for you. In theory nothing changes; in practice your relationship moves to another level, one that is committed and seen from a different perspective than before.

As such, you want the vows you make to one another to be engraved, unforgettably, into some superb gold jewellery with diamonds.

You begin your search and you are determined to invest more than money, time and attention, for finding a pair of gold wedding rings — the symbol of your love — can be a real challenge.

Why? Because the jewellery market in Romania overflows with offers of every kind, and you have to make a smart decision.

In fact, things are simple when you turn to the services of a manufacturer that offers, both in the FIRESQ shops and online at Diamante.ro, valuable designer pieces created to the highest quality standards.

We are talking, therefore, about 18-carat gold jewellery with internationally certified natural diamonds.

Since we have mentioned a serious workshop, it is only natural that the variable of the after-purchase guarantee should come into the discussion too. This is vital in a package of services that aims to be worthy of its clients' respect.

Just imagine being able to leave such a legacy to your children or grandchildren.

And what about the design?

Well, there are always solutions when you are open to finding them. It is important to approach this aspect with a great deal of patience and seriousness.

Because time is so often a stressful factor, do not leave the choice of gold wedding rings to the very last minute. Think about their width, the colour of the gold, and the diamond on the lady's ring.

For example, while surveying the jewellery market in Romania, on Diamante.ro we discovered a collection of wedding rings with a distinctive design inspired by the architecture of the friezes that adorn the Monastery of the Three Holy Hierarchs in Iași.

On the border between valuable and expensive

It is often said that the price does not matter. Anything to make her happy and content. Yes, it is true that sentimental value is the most important thing, but it is also wise to take a realistic budget into account.

When you are determined to make such a purchase — a long-term one, admittedly — the question may arise: what is expensive and what is valuable?

If for a top-of-the-range phone that you replace at most every three years you are willing to set aside a sum of a thousand euros or more, then how should the vows of your love be immortalised?

In the end, a YES really is forever, and the wedding rings you choose when you decide to take the big step stand as witness to it.

What Do Diamonds Do to a Woman's Soul?

It's certainly not easy to reach a woman's soul, and above all to understand her. Even if entire books were written about how you could make her happy, no one could guarantee that it would work for you too.

Yet, in everyday life, things are far simpler when the tokens of love you give her are meant to last forever.

Even jewellery can impress, if it's set with diamonds.

At first glance, you might think that, given the jewellery collections some ladies own, nothing could impress them any more. But when it comes to diamond jewellery, the terms of the problem change.

First of all, the place you buy from may or may not be a promising start. Let's not be fooled by all those shop windows that simply catch your eye, or the money in your pocket. It's only natural to inform yourself so that the decision you make is an intelligent one.

As such, on the Romanian market for gold jewellery with diamonds, there is one manufacturer that offers you, in its own shops under the FIRESQ brand or online at www.diamante.ro, valuable designer pieces, crafted to the highest quality standards.

Certification from prestigious gemological laboratories and the solid guarantees it provides are reasons well worth taking into account and appreciating. And where is it simpler and more elegant to find what you need, right from the comfort of your own home, if not online.

Surveying the market is difficult at times, but even so we arrived at a remarkable result, diamante.ro.

So, after all, what do diamonds do to a woman's soul?

First of all, diamonds are a woman's best friend, just as the song goes.

Whether she wears a diamond engagement ring or a gold wedding ring, ladies feel appreciated and beautiful on any occasion, much like the jewellery itself. And what is a friendship built on, if not trust, love and support from the other person.

Secondly, diamonds create a powerful bond between the person who gives them and the one who receives them.

How does this happen? A diamond ring, and a wedding ring in particular, has this superpower of conveying to the woman who wears it the feeling that she is supported and appreciated, even when you're not physically by her side.

In this way, a diamond worn on the finger gives you that impetus and the confidence you need to overcome any challenge.

You could say that you are now one step closer to the soul of the person who matters to you. Time is a relative factor, so all that's left is to make a choice and surprise her.
