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.

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.

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!

Trying to define what a beautiful engagement ring actually is can be a real challenge. Beautiful to you, or beautiful to her? Each of us is different, and when it comes to that engagement ring you might be surprised to find that perhaps what is beautiful to you seems unsuitable to her, and so on.

So that we do not get lost in details and general definitions of what a beautiful engagement ring is, it would be best to follow this article closely, precisely in order to discover the most beautiful engagement rings all in one place. Let us begin with a classic, solitaire engagement ring such as AA02. Made from pure 18ct gold (gold at its first alloying from an 18ct ingot), it is beautiful precisely because it is simple, yet with an enormous impact on the beholder. All attention is drawn to the central diamond of at least 0.10ct with a brilliant cut. Of course, the design allows you to choose any cut for the central diamond (princess cut, emerald, cushion, pear, heart). It is displayed in a setting with four prongs and can be admired in full from any angle you look at it. The band itself is downright surprising, in that next to the setting there is an edge that widens towards the base of the ring, ensuring the comfort of the woman who will wear it. Still in the same classic register, we can bring up AA146. This time we have a stylised floral design reminiscent of a snowdrop, with six prongs, set on a round band that narrows with a slight edge towards the setting. Unlike the first engagement ring, this one can be configured with a diamond of at least 0.35ct, exclusively with a brilliant cut. It is very important to bear in mind that the size of the central diamond is directly proportional to the size of the band, so that there is harmony between all the elements of the piece. Perhaps the most elegant of the engagement rings is AA186. It has a classic, romantic design, and the six fine prongs of the setting give the central diamond added security without taking away from its brilliance — quite the opposite. It can be configured starting from 0.15ct. Like the other pieces, it can be made from pure white, yellow or rose 18ct gold. However, if we do not want something quite so simple, as some would say, but nor with an entourage of stones on the band of the ring, we can opt for AA14. It is an engagement ring with a delicate setting, a band that opens into 4 prongs holding the central diamond (we can opt for a brilliant or princess cut), gathered at the base into a corolla of brilliants. Truly surprising, because it combines unique features. When we want to surprise our loved one with an original engagement ring, we will surely opt for AA314. With its romantic design that has the look of fine embroidery, the central diamond set in four prongs is accentuated by a wreath of brilliants at the base and another 18 pavé diamonds on the band. We thus have a complex of elements that blend harmoniously and give the piece a unique brilliance. Turning to the spectacular nature of an engagement ring's setting, a representative example is AA223. The setting of the central diamond is in the shape of a royal crown with six brilliants at the base, flanked by another 18 pavé brilliants on the band, which gives the engagement ring a precious design and more besides. The central diamond is set off with their help and can be made starting from a carat weight of 0.20ct. What is interesting about the previous setting is that we find it displayed in another form on AA163. We no longer have pavé brilliants on the band — it is a simple, classic one — but the six at the base of the setting have remained, the royal crown. The romantic design is thus preserved. It can subsequently be worn next to a diamond wedding ring. The combination of the two pieces will surely draw admiring glances. An engagement ring that almost everyone dreams of is AA08B. Why? Because it combines the most sought-after elements and thus creates the perfect piece. A fine, stylish setting in four triangular prongs, flanked by 14 pavé brilliants on a rather wide band that is very comfortable to wear. The central diamond will surely be admired in all its splendour thanks to the design of the piece. And for the fans of an elaborate, even bold design, nothing is more suitable than AA361. An engagement ring with a diamond set in the embrace of four little stars that each display a brilliant of their own, in an eternal round dance of sparkle. The band is simple, classic, gently rounded, and does not change its width towards the base of the piece. The most beautiful engagement rings are in the eye of the beholder, in the soul of the one who gives them and in the heart of the one who wears them.

Ladies and young ladies certainly understand best what wearing such adornments as diamond earrings involves.

Whether they received them as a gift from a loved one, or they represent a family heirloom and more besides, keeping a pair of earrings with precious stones requires a great deal of care, attention and interest too. And so, inevitably, we ask ourselves how we might do this. It's very important to listen carefully to the sales adviser's recommendations regarding the most correct upkeep of the jewellery, as well as the after-sales services, whether free or chargeable. This applies if the purchase was made from one of our shops (Bucharest or Constanța). The situation doesn't change even if you decided to order online at firesc.com, from the comfort of your own home. You certainly received all the necessary information when you confirmed your purchase by telephone. For any additional details, we encourage you to contact us. Transparency is one of the principles that define us.

So what, specifically, are the recommendations?

First of all, let's always bear in mind that, although jewellery is made for everyday use, we are nonetheless talking about adornments. We're referring, then, to how and when wearing a pair of earrings is not recommended. During any activity in which you might knock or damage them, such as sport, for example. Let's not forget household chores either, which more often than not involve contact with certain chemicals, fats and acids. Secondly, don't try on your own to clean the setting of the stones with needles or other sharp objects. And these things happen especially when you turn to cosmetic and beauty treatments. Even an ordinary cleansing of the skin or a shampooing can leave residues that lead to the wear of the earrings over time. In this way the precious stones lose their sparkle, and the colour of the pure 18kt gold can suffer (white gold, in this case a layer of rhodium is applied by electrolysis). Take, for example, this pair of Antique-style earrings AN01C. It isn't a commonly seen model; on the contrary, it is distinctive, and looking closely, these are made in a combination of white gold and pure 18kt yellow gold (gold coming directly from a 24kt ingot, alloyed at the moment of processing) with 14 white diamonds (0.20ct total) in a floral-design setting. The fastening is classic, the two elegant hooks allowing the earrings to be worn comfortably. Of course, on request the fastening system can be changed to a safety-stop type, a butterfly back. Thirdly, jewellery should be kept in the box in which you bought it or in special boxes intended for this purpose. Don't treat the subject of this article with indifference, especially if you wish to enjoy the beauty of such adornments for years and years to come. They are not mere accessories; on the contrary, each of them tells a story, and it would be wonderful for that story to have a happy ending. If, for various, obviously personal, reasons you haven't fully followed the recommendations mentioned, you should know that we are not liable for problems that may arise due to mechanical shocks, wear or improper storage. To avoid ending up in such situations, it's a good idea to take into account what we discussed earlier and to visit one of the Firesc shops at least once a year to benefit from the after-sales services. The certificate of conformity is what accompanies the jewellery; it attests to the quality of the materials from which it is made and, not least, thanks to it you can call upon one or more of the services at any time. Should one of the earrings suffer a mechanical shock, come in for a professional inspection of the setting, even if you don't apparently notice any problems. At the same time, you'll also benefit from cleaning, which is very important. Both operations are free for life. Making such jewellery requires dedication and attention, and it deserves respect from those who wear it. So, you shouldn't hesitate when you find yourself in one of the situations we've discussed.

A year has passed since you became engaged; the moment was unique, special, as though it happened only yesterday. Time moves fast forward, in your favour we hope, because the wedding day is drawing near. Naturally, the emotions should be constructive, and the moments spent seeing to the final details should remain memories to tell your grandchildren. But, before the great event, we cannot overlook the anniversary of that first year of engagement, can we?

Pay attention to what she wants! Yes, you read that right. Before you plan a romantic dinner out on the town or even in the comfort of your own home, don't forget the gift. In most cases, your loved one lets slip a word or even several about that certain something that should be unique, memorable, natural. You may even have heard her talking about it, whether with her sister or her best friend. The ring has already been given, so a pair of diamond earrings is just what she needs. Not only will she be impressed, but the thoughtfulness you have shown will most certainly be appreciated. What woman does not love a pair of gold earrings, especially when it belongs to the same set as the ring she was given. The joy and surprise in her eyes will be unforgettable. So, things are very simple; keep them that way. It is an accessible idea, not only in terms of budget but also in terms of purchase time. Time really is precious, which is precisely why it is best to place your order online on our website, using whatever gadget you have to hand at that moment. The delivery time is a maximum of three working days if the product is in stock. Perhaps you are just passing by; of course you are welcome to visit us at one of our shops in Bucharest or Constanța and make your purchase right there and then. Rest assured that any question you put to our advisers will receive a clear answer, one that makes this process of choosing a pleasant, relaxed one. Information is welcome, indeed necessary, at moments like these. However, if you are already our customer, then you know the whole process, and the fact that you have chosen us for a second purchase speaks louder than any words. Since we mentioned earlier that a pair of earrings can complement the diamond engagement ring, we have a concrete example within everyone's reach. It is AC325, a pair of earrings in pure 18kt white gold (gold sourced directly from a 24kt ingot, alloyed at the moment of processing). They feature 10 brilliant-cut diamonds (2.00mm) bordered by a further 36 white brilliants (0.90mm). So far, these are a few of the defining characteristics of the pair of earrings. Beyond these, we can note the way the classic, elegant fastening is achieved by means of the two hooks. They are not visible and cause no discomfort to the person who will enjoy their sparkle. They also have a romantic, unique design that allows them to be worn on the wedding day itself alongside the AA325DA, as well as afterwards. The earring set comes packaged in an elegantly designed box and a gift bag. The invoices and the certificate of conformity that accompany every Firesc piece of jewellery are important documents that you will keep separately for the moment when you wish to make use of the free or paid after-sales services (professional inspection of the setting, adjusting the jewellery's size, or even applying, by electrolysis, a layer of rhodium in the case of white gold jewellery and beyond). In the end, the decision is yours. The most important thing is not to forget this first anniversary. Although some might not consider it anything to speak of, we should nonetheless think of the other one beside us, of our loved one. Perhaps to her it really does matter. So, such a gift would be a first idea for how to celebrate the first year of engagement, but let us not forget a bouquet of her favourite flowers, or perhaps a holiday to the place where she said "YES".

A pair of earrings with precious stones can mean more than mere accessories if you consider the context in which they are given, received or worn. Whether a loved one's birthday or the wedding day is approaching, or you simply want to surprise her just because she deserves it, there are a few important things you need to bear in mind when choosing a pair of earrings.

First of all, who is she? Could she be your mother, your sister, your fiancée? We are all different people, so we have different tastes, and it's only natural to take them into account as much as we can. Pay attention to what she wears in terms of clothing and beyond. They can be important clues that help you make an informed purchase.

The budget

Is there a budget even for earrings? Yes, there is, or at least there ought to be, given that we're still talking about ornamental jewellery. Unfortunately, more often than not the budget is overlooked or, on the contrary, becomes a source of stress for no reason. We're not saying that making such a purchase is a walk in the park, but nor does it compare, for example, with choosing an engagement ring. Those who have already taken that step know what we're talking about. Joking aside, a pair of diamond earrings doesn't cost x lei, it is worth it. Let's not think only of a sum of money and nothing more. It's not like buying a gadget you'll replace every couple of years because it's no longer "in fashion". Ornamental jewellery like this can be admired from one generation to the next and holds sentimental value.

We live in the age of speed

Yes, that's true. Nowadays everything runs on fast-forward. If you don't want to make the trip to one of our shops in Bucharest or Constanța and would rather spend the time otherwise lost in traffic, you can place an order online from the comfort of your own home. Delivery takes up to a maximum of 10 days from the moment a deposit of 50% of the total order value is paid. Naturally, this is if the pair of earrings isn't in stock. We encourage anyone to ask for such information once you're sure you'd like to work with us.

Is the design important?

Yes, definitely. A pair of diamond earrings can have a design that's either classic or intricate, or even a blend of the two, depending on her personality. And what does that actually mean? For example, the AC312 model is made from pure 18kt white gold (gold obtained directly from a 24kt ingot alloyed at the moment of crafting). What is truly special about these pieces is that they are made with a double Halo, with two brilliant-cut diamonds (2.75mm) surrounded by 60 brilliants. The fastening causes no discomfort, doesn't snag and sits on the earlobe by means of a post, then is secured with a butterfly back. It's worth knowing that you can also opt for a classic fastening, the hinged type, in the sizes you want. We can note that they can be worn with almost any item of clothing. Whether we're talking about a dress, perhaps even a wedding dress, or a day outfit that isn't too formal. It remains the choice of the woman who will enjoy them. If it still feels like too much to you, think of a pair of stud earrings with diamonds certified by an international gemological laboratory.

And yet, how do you know it's the right pair?

It's simple: look into her eyes the moment you give them to her. A sincere smile and a sparkle in the eyes convey more than any words. It's not for nothing that earrings are said to be the mirror of the soul. That's when you'll be sure your choice is the right one.

You are more certain than ever that the person you love is the one beside whom you'll spend the rest of your life. You don't know how to explain it, but you feel the moment has come to take the big step - the marriage proposal. Nothing out of the ordinary so far, even a touch "soppy" in places, some would say.

As you settle every single detail, from the location to the declaration of love you'll make before asking her the big question, stressed or not, you mustn't lose sight of one essential thing: the engagement ring. It would be best to start with a budget, both for a diamond engagement ring and for the event that will take place, that is unless you'd rather have an intimate setting and nothing more. Be realistic, not stingy, and treat the subject with genuine interest; don't think for a second that it's all "a walk in the park", but nor that it's too much of a headache. Relax, because you'll choose the wedding rings together later on, but until then the decisions are yours. Are marriage proposals still made by the sea? The answer is a resounding YES. We are at the start of the summer season, and we are entitled to say that a first location could well be by the sea. Because it's a stunning setting, and perhaps that's where you first met, so why not? Even though there are a great many such events, the setting surely holds a special charm that you'll remember for years and years to come. A special piece of jewellery to keep this day alive is AA251, an 18 kt white gold engagement ring with a 0.40 ct diamond in a brilliant cut. Just think! It's a solitaire ring with a refined design, far removed from any idea of the extravagant. The setting is elegant and elaborate, and brings the precious stone to the fore. It is said that diamonds are forever, and in this case the choice is a fitting one. So the central diamond is spectacular. It also comes with an International Certificate issued by the GIA gemological laboratory and is laser-inscribed with a unique security code. These two essential things are incontestable proof, and are needed when choosing a diamond engagement ring. Nor should we forget the certificate of conformity issued by our shop and the tax invoice. All these must accompany the purchase you make. You are welcome in any of our shops in Bucharest or Constanța to admire the jewellery. Yes, it's true you can place the order online from the comfort of your home, or even from your mobile phone, but we'd encourage you not to wait the three days that delivery takes if you happen to be heading to one of the cities above. Quite simply, the spectacle that this piece of jewellery, and not only this one, offers is unique, just like your love story. The second location - her favourite restaurant. If, however, you don't have the time to arrange a holiday of this kind, you can settle for the option of a romantic dinner for two. We wouldn't encourage you to hide the engagement ring in the dessert, still less in a glass of wine or champagne. Even though we're talking about a public place, a restaurant, you needn't give up the intimacy of the occasion. All the more so, you don't want it all to turn into an awkward moment and for the two of you to become the attraction of the evening, so you can reserve the entire venue for a few hours, or simply choose to have everything take place in an intimate setting. You'll see that your efforts will be fully appreciated. And yet a dinner for two doesn't mean just a restaurant and nothing more. If you're someone who enjoys a challenge, we can take the discussion much further, and this dinner could be organised in the most daring of locations. Naturally, while you're arranging the details, don't forget what the person you love wants either, because at the end of the day she will be the centre of attention. Of course, these two locations aren't the only ones where such an event can take place; on the contrary, they are merely sources of inspiration to start you off. All you need is the courage to choose the engagement ring she has always dreamed of, because the location will most often remain in your memories, but she'll wear the jewellery every single day, with you in her heart.

You know the saying "to your heart's content"? If everything unfolded only that way, then the world we lived in would be an ideal one. And yet, where would the charm be, you might ask.

Lately we keep hearing all around us about the concept of the "personalised" — personalised gifts, personalised cars; in other words, to put it plainly, these things are made and improved, some would say, according to the preferences people have. But when it comes to taking an important step in a couple's life — the engagement, to be precise — things stop here. Or do they? How does the idea of an engagement ring with a personalised design strike you? We know that choosing such a piece of gold and diamond jewellery isn't exactly easy, which is why, when you find yourself facing such an important decision, the pressure can reach its peak. But think what an opportunity lies before you! You can discover it online first of all, from the comfort of your own home or, why not, from the desk where you work. On firesc.com you will find the inspiration you need, as well as concrete answers for the more naturally curious. So if you don't necessarily want to choose one of the existing engagement rings, then put your imagination to work and, with the help of our designer, your idea can take shape. That said, there is a long way to go before the diamond engagement ring — not an impossible one — and we recommend a visit to one of our shops in Bucharest or Constanța. Why? Precisely in order to settle every single detail and to understand the natural way in which the whole process unfolds. For example, you can decide what size the gold piece should be, or, why not, choose the central diamond according to the characteristics you want it to have. We're talking about carat weight, colour, clarity or even its cut. Don't forget that you also have at your disposal — and can choose online from — a database of the Antwerp Diamond Exchange that is constantly updated. The stock holds approximately 80,000 diamonds certified by international gemological laboratories. Each diamond is engraved with a unique security code, which also appears on the gemological certificate and can be verified online on the laboratory's website. In short, once we have a sketch, we analyse the proposal and set a price and a delivery deadline, taking into account the budget indicated as well as the technical limitations that arise when working with gold. Paying a deposit represents the concrete confirmation, so we can move on to the next stage of the process – the rendering (an image of the jewellery). Small changes may come in, then the creative team, together with the master jewellers, finalises the piece. But if all you know at this point is just the budget — which you have set with great care and precise calculations — don't be discouraged, because we can start from an idea, a special design, and gradually shape that engagement ring she dreams of. What would you say to AA12GL, a ring in pure 18kt yellow gold (gold that comes directly from a 24kt ingot, alloyed at the moment of working) with a brilliant-cut diamond? It sits in a mount with four carefully crafted prongs, thus creating a star-shaped design. We can see the refined design the piece has but, above all, viewed from the side, the diamond appears suspended between them. The band is a fitting one, not very wide, and has an entourage of 16 diamonds that brings out the spectacular quality of the central stone. Essentially, the size of the brilliant is directly proportional to that of the band. Starting from this example, we can create a dedicated, one-of-a-kind piece, so that the woman who receives it is impressed not only by its appearance but also by the fact that her loved one invested precious time and ideas so that the result would live up to expectations. If, until reading this article, you thought that a quick trip round the shops or online would help you choose a diamond engagement ring, well, you were rather mistaken. "The plans you make at home don't match those at the fair", if you will allow me a folk saying, and it would be wise to set off with a little patience and confidence. Buying such an ornamental piece requires attention and seriousness, otherwise the event you are planning will be an ordinary one. For these reasons, personalised design — especially when we are talking about an engagement ring — is recommended when you want an unforgettable creation to match the promise you are making to your loved one.

You could say that the most important "Yes" you've ever heard was the moment you offered that engagement ring and promised her a journey for two, for better, for worse, forever. A moving moment, worthy of being placed in the box of memories and told years later to your children, or why not, even to your grandchildren.

Every love story is special in its own way. So, inevitably, the jewellery that crowns the love you have for one another is special, characteristic of the personality that each of you has. We might also bring up gifts such as a pair of emerald earrings or a tennis bracelet with black diamonds. Why have we mentioned all of this so far, you might ask. Well, this article aims to help everyone who has been, at least once, in one of the situations where they turned to after-sales services. Let's take, for example, a diamond engagement ring. Whether you bought it from one of our shops in Bucharest or Constanța, or you placed an order online at firesc.com, you are informed of the details regarding the certificate of conformity and the benefits you have after your purchase. In short, it accompanies the piece of jewellery and certifies that the materials used comply with the regulations in force and with the details on the tax invoice. Its presence also gives you the opportunity to benefit from after-sales services. As our partnership is based on trust and more, we encourage you, should you recognise yourself in one of the situations below, to get in touch with us. The size isn't right. What can I do in this case? There are very few situations in which a gold engagement ring fits perfectly. You'd have to be extremely lucky, or have one of the happy owner's own rings to go by for the size; there'd be no other explanation. You could possibly consult her best friend, but most of the time it comes down to having the size adjusted. The timing of when you decide to make use of this service also matters, as it is free within the first 30 calendar days from the moment of purchase and charged for after those days have passed. How do I remove scratches? We certainly don't recommend doing anything like this at home. That's precisely why you should bring the piece in for professional cleaning and polishing, especially if you've worn it for a long time or you simply want it to look flawless on the day of the big event. If the degree of wear is too great and the scratches can't be removed using the first method, then you can opt to have it re-finished for a fee. A precious stone has fallen out. It isn't exactly a happy scenario, but the deed is done. This happens when engagement rings suffer a mechanical shock. That's exactly why great care must be taken, and let's not forget that we're talking about ornamental objects which, although they're made for everyday use, would fare better if we spared them during certain household or beauty activities. This is how we come to replacing missing precious stones (or pearls, as the case may be). However, to avoid reaching this situation, we recommend having the setting professionally checked at least once a year. Not only are you much more relaxed, but we also encourage the prevention of such consequences. What's more, it's a free service. The acidic pH of the skin and pieces of pure 18kt white-gold jewellery. We won't go into too much detail about chemistry, so as not to bore you. All you need to know is that white-gold jewellery has a layer of rhodium applied by electrolysis to compensate for the absence of nickel in the alloy and to give the precious metal a brilliant white. Depending on the pH of your skin or the way the piece is worn, this layer of rhodium can fade over time, requiring the rhodium plating to be repeated. The procedure isn't necessary for everyone, but when it is called for, the service remains free regardless of how often it's needed. Strong mechanical shocks – deformation. These cases aren't very common, but they do exist. Repairing deformed jewellery, whether it's the deformation of the band or of the setting, is possible for a fee. There are situations, unfortunately, that have such a consequence. So, you can request one or more of the services mentioned above whenever the need arises. Of course, the procedure follows a process that you can access online.
