Understanding This Piece
About Onyx
Onyx is a banded variety of chalcedony, most commonly seen in fine jewelry as solid jet-black (often heat-treated to deepen the color). It's been used in jewelry, signet rings, and cameos for thousands of years and remains a staple of men's fine jewelry. Onyx scores 6.5–7 on Mohs (durable for daily wear) and contrasts strikingly against both yellow gold and platinum. Its even, opaque surface makes it ideal for engraving and inlay work.
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.
