{"product_id":"echter-roher-mondstein-goldene-kette","title":"Genuine Raw Moonstone Necklace","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Stone: Moonstone from the Feldspar Family\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoonstone is the gem variety of the mineral orthoclase, a potassium aluminum silicate from the feldspar group, also known as adularia. Its glow doesn't come from dye but from extremely fine alternating layers of orthoclase and albite inside the crystal, which break up the light. Experts call this shimmer adularescence, a bluish white sheen that glides across the surface as the stone moves. With a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5, it is moderately hard and does best in a protective setting. It also has perfect cleavage in two directions, which is why it doesn't forgive hard knocks. Its body is typically clear to milky white, and the light seems to rest calmly on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can choose between 925 sterling silver and a warm 14K gold-filled setting. 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 wire is wrapped by hand around each raw stone individually, so the setting follows the natural shape of your stone. Your moonstone hangs on a fine chain whose square links interlock closely and lie smoothly against your neck. You choose the length when you order: 45 cm (17.7 in) or 40 cm (15.7 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning of the Stone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Romans believed moonstone was moonlight turned solid, and it owes its name to its soft shimmer, which recalls the moon. By tradition, it stands for intuition, calm, and new beginnings. In Indian tradition, it is still considered a stone that brings good luck. As a birthstone for June, it also makes an especially personal gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCaring for Your Moonstone 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, you should avoid prolonged contact with salt water and chlorinated water, as well as perfume, lotions, and harsh cleaning products. After contact with ocean or pool water, it's best to rinse the necklace with clean water and dry it carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoonstone shouldn't be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner or with steam, and it should be protected from high heat and sudden changes in temperature. Store your necklace dry and apart from harder pieces of jewelry, because the stone has perfect cleavage and is sensitive to scratches and hard knocks. This way, the blue shimmer of the stone and the surface of your necklace will stay beautiful for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Handmade Art by Carola","offers":[{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55256700027209,"sku":"MON002","price":149.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55256700059977,"sku":"MON002","price":139.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55256700092745,"sku":"MON002","price":149.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55256700125513,"sku":"MON002","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55256700158281,"sku":"MON002","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55256700191049,"sku":"MON002","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55256700223817,"sku":"MON002","price":119.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55256700256585,"sku":"MON002","price":119.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55256700289353,"sku":"MON002","price":119.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55256700322121,"sku":"MON002","price":69.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55256700354889,"sku":"MON002","price":69.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55256700387657,"sku":"MON002","price":69.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/1419\/5003\/files\/1_43373640-e77c-400a-8af2-04046943c721.png?v=1788601074","url":"https:\/\/by-carola.com\/en-eu\/products\/genuine-raw-moonstone-necklace","provider":"Handmade Art by Carola","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
