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 Jewelers is laser-inscribed and certified by IGI or GCAL.
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 Wrap Rings
A wrap ring features a band that wraps around the finger asymmetrically — typically with one end sweeping over the top of the finger rather than meeting in a closed circle. The architecture creates dynamic movement and visual interest, and the open construction allows for some flexibility in sizing. Wrap rings often incorporate diamond accents along the wrapping element for added sparkle.
