{"product_id":"zylinder-rauchquarz-kette","title":"Cylinder Smoky Quartz Necklace","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Stone: Smoky Quartz from the Quartz Family\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmoky quartz is the smoky brown to gray variety of the mineral quartz, chemically pure silicon dioxide. Its color does not come from a dye but from tiny traces of aluminum in the crystal lattice, where ionizing radiation creates color centers. Very dark stones are called morion. The enhancement recreates exactly this natural process: the smoky tone of this stone was deepened by irradiation and stays stable in normal wear. The cylinder on this necklace is pointed at both ends, so light travels through it lengthwise. With a Mohs hardness of 7, the stone is durable and well suited to everyday wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can choose between 925 sterling silver and a warm 14K gold-filled chain. 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 smoky quartz cylinder is threaded by hand directly onto the fine chain, with no added setting. That way, it lies flat and still against your skin. 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 Scotland, smoky quartz has been made into jewelry for centuries under the name cairngorm, after the mountains where it was found. The name morion for the almost black variety goes back to Pliny the Elder. By tradition, smoky quartz stands for grounding, calm, and stability. As an alternative birthstone for November, it also makes a particularly personal gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCaring for Your Smoky Quartz Necklace\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pendant and 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 both with clean water and dry them carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe stone should not be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner or with steam. Even more important: keep it away from high heat and long periods of direct sunlight, because both can lighten its smoky tone over time. Store your smoky quartz necklace dry and apart from harder pieces of jewelry. That way, its color and surface stay beautiful for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Handmade Art by Carola","offers":[{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55279086895433,"sku":"RAU001-01","price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55279086928201,"sku":"RAU001-02","price":149.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55279086960969,"sku":"RAU001-03","price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55279086993737,"sku":"RAU001-04","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55279087026505,"sku":"RAU001-05","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55279087059273,"sku":"RAU001-06","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55279087092041,"sku":"RAU001-07","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55279087124809,"sku":"RAU001-08","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55279087157577,"sku":"RAU001-09","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55279087190345,"sku":"RAU001-10","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55279087223113,"sku":"RAU001-11","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55279087255881,"sku":"RAU001-12","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/1419\/5003\/files\/1_85bdbc2d-d850-4b6b-af9a-d397206c1f7c.png?v=1788788064","url":"https:\/\/by-carola.com\/en-eu\/products\/cylinder-smoky-quartz-necklace","provider":"Handmade Art by Carola","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
