What Happens After We Choose the Engagement Ring?

Time passes in our favour, as the folk saying goes, but things are different when you are caught up in the fever of preparations for your long-dreamed-of wedding.

Admittedly, you rejoiced and felt indescribable emotions when she said “Yes”. But now the time has come to move on to the next step. If choosing an engagement ring in gold with diamonds required only one person to make the decision, well, in the case of the wedding rings the situation is different. Try not to stress, and make sure the decision you take is a well-informed one. There are plenty of questions, but concrete, objective answers are hard to come by. You can run a search on Wikipedia, or you can read this article.

A first important aspect is the budget.

It will certainly be a different one from before, for the engagement ring. Agreed, there are many expenses that arise, whether we mean them to or not; even so, settle on a realistic sum. Just think about the fact that most of the time we are tempted to allocate more or less impressive sums for gadgets that we use for two or three years and then replace. Well, given that we are talking about a symbol of the union between you, make a well-informed decision.

A second important aspect is the fact that all jewellery under the Firesc brand is made exclusively from pure 18ct gold.

The idea is simple. The love you have for one another is pure, so the proof of it — that is, the diamond wedding rings — must not be made from a used material coming from other jewellery. The certificate of conformity attests that the materials used are in accordance with the regulations in force. Everything is transparent and can be verified at any time.

The third aspect is their design.

On our website you have filters that help you find what you want just two or three clicks away. There are wedding rings with a design that is either classic, or complex, or even quite distinctive, such as those inspired by the friezes of the Monastery of the Three Holy Hierarchs in Iași. From choosing the colour of the gold to the profile, or even the width of the wedding rings, you can configure freely. Processing the order takes a maximum of 10 working days from the moment a 50% advance of its total value has been paid. You need not worry about delivery either, because shipping is free both nationally and internationally, and the parcel is insured. However, if you would like to try them on and more, we look forward to welcoming you to one of our Firesc shops in Bucharest or Constanța. There are a great many advantages to such a meeting.

As such, a fourth essential thing is the size.

A specialist will help you choose the right size for you and your partner so that the jewellery does not need any adjustments later on. That said, there are also more special situations. In what sense? For example, if the future lady has a yellow-gold engagement ring with a natural diamond certified by an international gemological laboratory (GIA, IGI, etc.) whose design is not exactly classic, then we can recommend the pair it belongs to. Yes, as is the case with the IV78 engagement ring, the set of wedding rings that completes the piece is VA78. This model is a combination of yellow gold and white 18ct gold. The profile is comfort-fit, or in other words, domed on the inside and flat on the outside. What is more, along the entire circumference of the band, at its centre, a spiralled thread of white gold is applied. The central diamond on the lady's ring is set into a small break in this central spiralled thread. With its romantic, elegant design, the width of each ring is 2.5 mm. Optionally, a diamond can also be set on the gentleman's ring. They can also be personalised with an engraving. However, if you want something created and conceived just for you, the personalised design option is the most suitable. The jewellery will be as unique as your love story. So, this is what happens after we choose the engagement ring. We have a few essential steps to take in choosing our dreamed-of wedding rings. With patience, confidence and plenty of creativity, you will find exactly what you are looking for. May your marriage last a lifetime!

The Definition of a Natural Engagement Ring

Anyone who says that choosing a diamond engagement ring is an easy thing has either already been through this stage or is naïve. We don't want to frighten you, but nor do we want to encourage you to treat this subject with indifference.

Make an informed decision, one you won't regret. And don't forget, compromises have no place in this context. When you set out on this path, it means you're determined and willing to devote the time needed so that, in the end, you're pleased with the piece of jewellery you've bought. There are two options available to you. The first is the online one. If you've visited our website firesc.com, you'll have seen a great many options in the engagement rings section. As such, configuring your diamond piece is entirely up to you. What's more, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you have access to an online stock that is constantly updated, from which you can choose exactly what you want out of more than 75,000 internationally certified diamonds. Bearing in mind, of course, certain characteristics of the diamond (colour, clarity, cut) and the budget you have (preferably one as close to reality as possible). The advantage is that you can do all of this in front of a laptop, or even on your mobile phone, in a short time. But what do you do when you want to see what you're buying, or even to get professional feedback on the choice you've made? Well, the second option is the possibility of a physical connection through our shops in Bucharest and Constanța, a connection that noticeably increases confidence in the purchase. The chosen white gold engagement ring is AA163. We can see the romantic design it has. In other words, a fascinating setting in the shape of a royal crown rests on six natural diamonds and one central stone. The box, too, is one that impresses, both through the message it conveys and through the craftsmanship and care with which it is made. Let's not forget that the diamond which ennobles every engagement ring under the Firesc brand is laser-inscribed with a unique security code and comes with an international gemological certificate. Look at the band, notice that the base is wider and narrows towards the top. We are defined by adherence to very high standards, which is precisely why the jewellery under the Firesc brand is made in our own workshops in Romania, exclusively from an 18kt precious metal, a pure alloy compliant with all international norms. As for the size of an engagement ring, it naturally differs from one person to another. Don't worry if it isn't the right size, because from the moment you receive it, you can have it adjusted free of charge for 15 days. It's very simple. This is one of the after-sales services we make available to you, as we have a multitude of them to choose from. We recommend that at least once a year you come to one of the Firesc shops for inspection of the setting and professional cleaning of the jewellery (services that are free for life). It's important to know that the diamond engagement ring bought and given today can be replicated or reconditioned decades later. After all this, you know that we don't do things by halves, everything is transparent, accessible to anyone who requests the information mentioned above. So, how do we handle delivery? You have two options. Either you come to the shop where you placed your order. Here you have the chance to see the laser engraving of the unique security code and the testing of the diamond. Or by express courier, straight to your door, and categorically at no extra cost. Let us briefly tell you about the aspects concerning the warranty and the necessary certificates. Well, the warranty is two years in accordance with G.O. 21/1992, L.449/2003. In addition to this, there are two more certificates. The first is the one from the international gemological laboratory (for the central diamond), where you'll find all its characteristics (colour, clarity, proportions, etc.). The second is the certificate of conformity, which attests to the quality of the materials (precious stones, gold) from which the jewellery is made. The box is a special packaging for such valuable objects, that is, it protects against moisture and dirt. In conclusion, the discussion about engagement rings can be a complex one, but when you have the necessary information, the decision comes naturally, and the joy of the one who receives it is immense.
