Emerald and Diamond Engagement Ring

What choice do you make when it comes to that ring? The engagement ring, of course — that is what we mean. The design, the colour of the gold and the price are important features at first glance, but the decision you are about to make cannot be made in haste — quite the opposite. Be patient and think it over!

Yes, an engagement ring involves an investment that is not only material but also emotional. The person who receives it as a gift will know that the piece was created especially for her and matches her personality. So, what does the engagement ring look like in your vision? And in hers? Sometimes it's good to talk to those around you — perhaps consult her best friend, or recall a conversation you had some time ago. But be careful, because sometimes too many opinions can mislead you and put up barriers before your decision. So, if you are trying to find your inspiration and you are a curious person in search of concrete answers, you can visit our website firesc.com. All of this from the comfort of your own home, a click away on any device. Still, let's not forget the offline world either, which is why we encourage you to visit one of our shops in Bucharest or Constanța. You have the chance to admire and choose from a range of valuable designer pieces made in Romania to the highest quality standards. Give yourself the time you need to study each model in detail. Returning to the design. The engagement ring can be a classic one, in pure 18kt gold (gold on its first alloying from a 24kt ingot), a solitaire with a central natural diamond (certified and laser-inscribed by an international gemological laboratory) in a fine, stylish four-prong mount that steals the gaze of anyone who wishes to admire it. Its band can be crowned with a row of brilliants. Or it can have a complex — but not complicated — design and a surprising choice of precious stones that ennoble the piece. Because sometimes it is good not to follow the pattern and to make a different choice she doesn't expect, to step out of your comfort zone. In the end that is what it is all about — to surprise her not just with the proposal, but also with the promise. A concrete example is the piece AA346B. We can see a halo ring in 18kt white gold with a central emerald in an oval cut (7.00 x 5.00mm) surrounded by 14 white brilliant-cut diamonds (0.30ct total). The details of the piece are magical, the design is romantic, stunning in the sparkle of its precious stones. Surely, through the eyes of your loved one you will be able to truly see the beauty of the ring. As soon as you have made a decision, all that remains is to sort out a few details concerning the moment when you will present the engagement ring. You have at most 10 working days from the moment you place the order and pay the deposit of 50% of its total value. During this time the making of the piece takes place. Delivery is free, can be made anywhere in the country or internationally, and the piece will be packaged in a special box together with the certificate of conformity and the tax invoice. The parcel will be sent by express courier (door-to-door service) with declared value and fully insured. And let's not forget the option of collecting it from one of our shops mentioned earlier.

Choosing a pair of earrings with a personalised design

When you're searching for a unique gift, whether for yourself, to celebrate someone dear, or to congratulate a mother on the birth of her child, you know it can't be something ordinary, chosen in a rush.

A pair of gold earrings with precious stones represents not just material value, but far more than that. A personalised piece of jewellery must be the mirror of the person who will wear it, must identify with them. Yes, making such a choice isn't easy, but nor is it impossible, especially when you know the recipient of the gift very well. Ornamental objects like these aren't given out to just anyone at random, merely for the sake of impressing. That's precisely why a personalised design isn't created in the blink of an eye either.

Effective communication

You've surely heard again and again that in almost all relationships, whatever their nature, communication matters. It's the same in this case. It's important that you share absolutely all the necessary information. Even if you don't have the chance to come to one of our shops in Bucharest or Constanța, you can rest assured that we'll find alternative ways to share the wishes you have. By phone, or you can even send us an e-mail with the sketch, the image of the much-dreamed-of piece. Let's not forget the budget either; you don't have to spend a fortune, but nor should you go hunting for bargains.

Our proposal

We'll carefully analyse all the details we receive, and from these we'll estimate a price and a delivery time, taking into account all the technical details that influence working with gold. The order is confirmed by paying a deposit of 50% of the total value of the order. From this moment on, the real magic of the whole process unfolds, a process which, as you can see, is very simple, transparent and accessible to anyone. Ideally, it should stay that way.

Approval

At this stage, the 3D image of the pair of earrings will be sent to you for approval. It will look exactly as it does in reality, even though it's only a computer simulation. This is very important, because it gives you the chance to make certain changes if you wish and, of course, if they're technically possible. Situations like this arise especially when we're talking about a pair of earrings with a design that isn't exactly classic, but rather elegant and romantic, such as the AC272 pair. They're made of pure 18kt white gold (gold at its first alloying from a 24kt ingot), displaying two marquise-cut sapphires (6.00 x 3.00mm). What's more, their sparkle is surrounded by 16 round white diamonds of superior quality (1.60mm). The earrings' fastening is a classic one and makes wearing them pleasant and memorable. We're talking, then, about genuine precious stones, sophisticated design and the highest quality of workmanship at the right price.

Production

This is the fourth step in our journey towards a pair of earrings with a personalised, enchanting design. The creative team, together with the master jewellers , will turn into reality that project we spoke about earlier. Everything takes shape. Every little detail matters, so that even the most attentive or demanding person will be truly impressed.

Delivery

It will be done free of charge to the address of your choice or, why not, at one of our physical shops, keeping to the agreed timeframe. The piece will be packaged in an elegant, special box so that it's protected from moisture, dust or other external factors that could damage it. Let's not forget the certificate of conformity and the tax invoice either. By making a correct, committed and informed decision, you can turn the choice of a pair of earrings with a personalised design into a memorable moment. A special piece of jewellery for a special person.

5 Essential Things to Consider When Choosing Wedding Rings

Time is on our side, as the popular saying goes, but things are different when you find yourself in the thick of preparations for your long-dreamed-of wedding. As such, stress makes its way into your lives as the event draws nearer. Why does this happen? No one could say for certain, but one thing is clear: it all depends on you alone.

And while you are finalising the last details, you inevitably arrive at the discussion about a pair of wedding rings. There are plenty of questions, not so many answers; you can run a search on Wikipedia or you can read this article.

A first important aspect is the budget.

Granted, there are many expenses that come up whether you intend them or not; even so, set a realistic sum. Just consider the fact that, more often than not, we are tempted to allocate more or less impressive amounts 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 an informed decision.

A second important aspect is the fact that all jewellery under the Firesc brand is made exclusively from pure 18kt 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 used material salvaged from other jewellery. The certificate of conformity attests that the materials used are thus in line with the standards in force. Everything is transparent and can be checked 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 intricate, or even quite distinctive, such as those inspired by the ornamental bands of the Three Hierarchs Monastery in Iași. From the choice of gold colour to the profile, or even the width of the wedding rings, you can configure them as you please. Processing the order takes a maximum of 10 working days from the moment a 50% deposit of its total value has been paid. You needn't worry about delivery either, since shipping is free both nationally and internationally, and the parcel is insured. However, if you would like to try them on, and more besides, we look forward to seeing you in 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 won't need any further adjustments. A wedding ring should ideally slip on easily and come off with a little more effort. What's more, it mustn't be uncomfortable in any way. So think very carefully beforehand about how much your hands will be used throughout the day, so that the size is just right. On another note, we can mention a set of wedding rings in glossy 18kt white gold with natural diamonds - VA91. This model stands out through its design, at once romantic and classic. Both bands have a slightly domed profile, both inside and out, a feature that ensures the wearer's comfort while wearing them or going about various activities. The lady's ring is 3 mm wide and is accompanied by a row of pavé diamonds over half the circumference of the band. The gentleman's is 3.50mm wide, classic, with no other details. Should you want something created and designed for you, the bespoke design option is the most suitable. The jewellery will be unique, just like your love story.

The final essential aspect in choosing a pair of 18kt gold wedding rings lies in the after-sales services offered.

As we mentioned at the beginning of the article, the certificate of conformity accompanies every piece of jewellery under the Firesc brand. Thanks to it, you can most certainly benefit from a professional inspection of your wedding rings, from the application of a layer of rhodium by electrolysis in the case of white gold jewellery, and more besides. So, these are the most important steps to follow in choosing your long-dreamed-of wedding rings. With patience, confidence and plenty of creativity, you will find exactly what you want. Here's to a long and happy marriage!
