Understanding This Piece
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 Jewelers. Underneath the rhodium, 14K white gold has a faint warm undertone.
About Hoop Earrings
Hoop earrings are circular or oval rings of metal that pass through the ear piercing. Sizes range from small huggies (10–12mm diameter) that hug the lobe to large statement hoops (50mm+) that drop dramatically. Hoops can be plain polished metal, diamond-set across the front face (inside-out hoops are set on both faces), or sculptural geometric designs. The style is among the most enduring categories in fine jewelry — gold hoops trace continuous use back to ancient Egypt and Greece.
