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 Fashion Necklaces
Fashion necklaces are trend-driven designs that emphasize style innovation over heritage construction — often featuring distinctive shapes, contemporary geometric elements, mixed-media construction, or signature designer detailing. Every fashion piece at ATL Luxury Jewelers is still hand-finished and crafted in solid precious metal (not plated alloys) so the design holds up to long-term wear.
