Understanding This Piece
About the Natural Diamond
Natural diamonds form deep within the earth over 1–3 billion years under extreme heat and pressure — making each stone genuinely irreplaceable. Diamonds rank 10 on the Mohs hardness scale (the hardest natural material on earth), so they resist scratches better than any other gemstone and are uniquely suited for daily-wear jewelry. Every natural diamond we sell over 0.50ct ships with a GIA or comparable independent grading report documenting its carat weight, color, clarity, and cut precision. Natural diamonds hold their value over decades and carry strong heirloom resale demand.
About 14K White Gold
14K white gold mixes 58.3% pure gold with palladium and silver, then receives a rhodium plating that gives it the bright cool-white finish prized for engagement rings and diamond bands. It looks similar to platinum at roughly half the cost. The rhodium plating wears with daily use and typically needs reapplication every 18–24 months — a service we provide free for life on every white gold piece sold at ATL Luxury Jewelry. Underneath the rhodium, 14K white gold has a faint warm undertone.
About Cuff Bracelets
A cuff is a rigid open-ended bracelet that's flexed to slip over the wrist and conforms once worn — distinct from bangles (closed circles) or chain bracelets. Cuffs can feature minimal smooth polished metal, sculptural geometric forms, diamond pavé across the face, or wide statement metalwork. The open construction means cuffs can be sized to fit a range of wrist diameters and adjusted slightly over time. Cuff bracelets are particularly popular in men's fine jewelry.
