Understanding This Piece
About Peridot
Peridot is yellow-green olivine, prized for its singular lime-green hue. The finest peridots come from Pakistan, Myanmar, and Arizona — and some peridot has even been found in meteorites. Peridot scores 6.5–7 on Mohs (suitable for daily wear with some care) and is the August birthstone and 16th-anniversary gem. It was a favorite of Cleopatra and was historically confused with emerald in ancient royal collections.
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 Fashion Rings
Fashion rings prioritize design innovation, contemporary trends, or distinctive aesthetic signature over traditional engagement-ring categories. The umbrella covers oversized statement pieces, mixed-media designs, sculptural metalwork, and trend-driven shapes. Every fashion ring at ATL Luxury Jewelers is hand-finished in solid precious metal (not plated alloys) so the design holds up to long-term wear regardless of trend cycle.
