Understanding This Piece
About Alexandrite
Alexandrite is famous for its dramatic color change — green or blue-green in daylight, shifting to purplish-red under incandescent light. The effect comes from rare chromium content and only occurs in specific deposits in Russia, Brazil, and East Africa. Alexandrite scores 8.5 on Mohs (excellent durability) and is the June birthstone (alongside pearl) and 55th-anniversary gem. Fine-quality alexandrite is among the most valuable colored gemstones, often exceeding ruby and sapphire per carat.
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.
