Understanding This Piece
About Amethyst
Amethyst is purple quartz, ranging from pale lavender to deep royal purple. Brazil, Uruguay, and Zambia produce the highest-quality stones. Amethyst is hard enough for daily wear (7 on Mohs) and has been prized since antiquity — Greek and Roman tradition held that amethyst protected against intoxication, and it was historically reserved for royalty and clergy. Amethyst is the February birthstone and the 6th-anniversary gem, and offers the most vivid purple in fine jewelry at a relatively accessible price point.
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 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.
