Understanding This Piece
About Emerald
Emerald is the green variety of beryl, colored by trace chromium and vanadium. The richest-saturated emeralds — from Colombia, Zambia, and Ethiopia — command premium prices and have been prized since antiquity. Emerald scores 7.5–8 on Mohs (softer than diamond, sapphire, or ruby) and contains natural inclusions called 'jardin' that are accepted as part of the stone's character. Emerald is the May birthstone and 20th/35th-anniversary gem, and requires gentler care — avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals to protect the surface oils.
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 Tennis Bracelets
A tennis bracelet features a continuous line of matched diamonds (or other gemstones) set edge-to-edge around the wrist — typically with shared prongs, channel, or bezel construction. The name dates to a 1987 US Open match when Chris Evert lost her diamond bracelet on court. Tennis bracelets are the most-purchased category of diamond bracelet and are typically built in 14K, 18K, or platinum to support the stone weight. Total carat weight, color, and clarity are the dominant pricing factors — every diamond is matched to the others for consistency.
