{"product_id":"zylinder-rubin-kette","title":"Cylinder Ruby Necklace","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Stone: Ruby from the Corundum Family\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuby is the red variety of the mineral corundum, chemically aluminum oxide with the formula Al2O3. Its color comes from chromium that is firmly part of the crystal lattice. Only red corundum may be called ruby; every other color goes by the name sapphire. With a Mohs hardness of 9, it is the hardest gem mineral after diamond, which makes it exceptionally scratch-resistant. Corundum crystallizes in the trigonal system and grows in columnar to barrel-shaped crystals. The slim cylinder on this necklace echoes exactly this natural column shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can choose between 925 sterling silver and warm 14K gold-filled. 14K gold-filled is a real, thick layer of gold that is firmly bonded to a base metal. Unlike simple gold plating, which is applied only wafer-thin, wears off over time, and fades fairly quickly, 14K gold-filled keeps its warm gold tone for years. The ruby measures about 8 to 10 mm (0.3 to 0.4 in), is drilled through, and is threaded by hand directly onto the chain, with no additional setting. The chain itself is a fine box chain whose square links interlock closely. You choose the length when you order: 45 cm (17.7 in) or 40 cm (15.7 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning of the Stone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn ancient India, ruby was regarded as the king of gems, and rulers wore it as a sign of power and protection. For centuries, people connected its red color with love, courage, and vitality, which is why it is still called the stone of passion today. By tradition, it stands for warmth, willpower, and a clear look ahead. As the birthstone for July, it also makes a particularly personal gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCaring for Your Ruby Necklace\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pendant and box chain are water-resistant and suitable for everyday wear. To make your necklace last as long as possible, though, avoid prolonged contact with salt water and chlorinated water, as well as perfume, lotions, and harsh cleaning products. After contact with seawater or pool water, it's best to rinse the necklace with clean water and dry it carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike more than 95 percent of all rubies on the market, the stone on this necklace has been treated. To keep the treatment intact, don't put the stone in an ultrasonic cleaner or a steam bath, and protect it from high heat and sudden changes in temperature. Store your necklace separately, because with a Mohs hardness of 9, the stone can scratch softer pieces of jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Handmade Art by Carola","offers":[{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55279856517449,"sku":"RUB001","price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55279856550217,"sku":"RUB001","price":149.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55279856582985,"sku":"RUB001","price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55279856615753,"sku":"RUB001","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55279856648521,"sku":"RUB001","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55279856681289,"sku":"RUB001","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55279856714057,"sku":"RUB001","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55279856746825,"sku":"RUB001","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55279856779593,"sku":"RUB001","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55279856812361,"sku":"RUB001","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55279856845129,"sku":"RUB001","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55279856877897,"sku":"RUB001","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/1419\/5003\/files\/1_ef2f842d-2045-4cd1-bcd7-8b23229989f3.png?v=1788792571","url":"https:\/\/by-carola.com\/en-eu\/products\/cylinder-ruby-necklace","provider":"Handmade Art by Carola","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
