Understanding This Piece
About Lab-Grown Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds are chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds — same carbon crystal structure, same hardness (10 on Mohs), same fire and brilliance. They're produced in controlled environments using either HPHT (high pressure, high temperature) or CVD (chemical vapor deposition) over several weeks. The visible difference is price: lab-grown diamonds typically cost 30–70% less than mined diamonds of equivalent grade, allowing buyers to step up significantly in size, color, or clarity at the same budget. Every lab-grown diamond at ATL Luxury Jewelry is laser-inscribed and certified by IGI or GCAL.
About 14K Rose Gold
14K rose gold gets its romantic pink hue from a copper-rich alloy — typically around 25% copper combined with silver. The color is warm, slightly less intense than 10K rose, and ages beautifully without tarnishing or requiring rhodium replating. Rose gold has been a defining engagement-ring trend of the last decade, pairing especially well with morganites, peach sapphires, and oval and cushion-cut diamonds. It flatters most skin tones and reads as both vintage and modern.
About Tennis Necklaces
A tennis necklace features a continuous line of matched diamonds (or other gemstones) set edge-to-edge around the neck, typically with shared prongs or channel construction. The name traces to a 1987 US Open match in which Chris Evert lost her diamond bracelet on court and paused play to find it. Tennis necklaces deliver the most diamond presence of any necklace style and are typically built in 14K, 18K, or platinum to support the stone weight. Total carat weight is the dominant pricing factor.
