Hola, Sofía, soy Marta de Joyería Arenal. Te escribo por el anillo que dejaste reservado el sábado (oro blanco, talla 14). Como comentaste que es para una boda, si quieres podemos enseñarte también una gargantilla y unos pendientes a juego.
¿Te viene bien pasar mañana entre las 18:00 y las 19:00? Si lo prefieres, te preparo el certificado de autenticidad y te explico cómo cuidar la pieza.
Hello, Sofía, I'm Marta from Arenal Jewelry Store. I'm writing about the ring you left on hold on Saturday (white gold, size 14). Since you mentioned it's for a wedding, we can also show you a necklace and some earrings to match, if you'd like.
Would it be convenient for you to come by tomorrow between 6:00 and 7:00 PM? If you prefer, I can prepare the certificate of authenticity and explain how to care for the piece.
Useful phrases:
-
¿Te importaría confirmarme si…?
(Would you mind confirming whether…?)
-
Venga, puedo pasar sobre las…
(Okay, I can come by around…)
-
Además, me gustaría saber si incluye…
(Also, I'd like to know if it includes…)
¿Te importaría confirmarme si el anillo lleva el certificado de autenticidad y si se puede ajustar la talla sin coste adicional? También me interesa probar una gargantilla sencilla y unos pendientes que combinen, pero que no sean demasiado llamativos.
Por último, ¿podéis indicarme cómo recomiendan limpiar el oro blanco y si ofrecéis revisión o mantenimiento del engaste? Gracias y hasta mañana.
Hi Marta. Thank you very much for the message. Yes, the ring is for the wedding and I would like to see it calmly before deciding. I can come by tomorrow around 6:30 PM.
Would you mind confirming whether the ring comes with a certificate of authenticity and if the size can be adjusted at no extra cost? I'm also interested in trying a simple necklace and some matching earrings, but nothing too flashy.
Finally, could you tell me how you recommend cleaning white gold and whether you offer inspection or maintenance of the setting? Thanks and see you tomorrow.
