{"product_id":"tropfen-peridot-kette","title":"Teardrop Peridot Necklace","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Stone: Peridot from the Olivine Family\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeridot is the gem variety of the mineral olivine, a magnesium iron silicate from the solid solution series between forsterite and fayalite. Its color doesn't come from dye but from iron that sits firmly in the crystal lattice. That's why the stone only comes in shades of green, from light apple green to deep olive green. This teardrop is a genuine, naturally grown peridot, and it has been treated, which I'm telling you openly here. For peridot, oiling and filling fine fractures with wax or resin to improve clarity are standard practice in the trade. With a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, the stone is moderately hard, and its luster is glassy to slightly oily.\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 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 teardrop needs no metal setting. It is drilled crosswise, the fine chain runs straight through the stone, and so the pendant lies calmly and flat against your skin. I thread each necklace by hand, one at a time. 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\u003ePeridot was mined on the island of Zabargad in the Red Sea thousands of years ago and revered in ancient Egypt as the stone of the sun. Because its green resembles that of emerald, the two stones were confused for centuries. By tradition, peridot stands for a zest for life, clarity, and a fresh start. As a birthstone for August, it makes a very personal gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCaring for Your Peridot Necklace\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pendant and chain are water-resistant and made for everyday wear. Still, avoid prolonged contact with salt water and chlorinated water, as well as perfume, lotions, and harsh cleaning products. After swimming in the ocean or a pool, it's best to give the necklace a quick rinse with clean water and dry it carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the stone is treated, it belongs in neither an ultrasonic cleaner nor a steam cleaner, and you should avoid high heat and sudden changes in temperature. Store the necklace dry and apart from harder pieces of jewelry, because with a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, the stone is sensitive to scratches and hard knocks. This way, the polished surface of your teardrop will stay beautiful for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Handmade Art by Carola","offers":[{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55271049494857,"sku":"PER002","price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55271049527625,"sku":"PER002","price":149.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55271049560393,"sku":"PER002","price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55271049593161,"sku":"PER002","price":89.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55271049625929,"sku":"PER002","price":89.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55271049658697,"sku":"PER002","price":89.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55271049691465,"sku":"PER002","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55271049724233,"sku":"PER002","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55271049757001,"sku":"PER002","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55271049789769,"sku":"PER002","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55271049822537,"sku":"PER002","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55271049855305,"sku":"PER002","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/1419\/5003\/files\/1_d3d810f0-c6fc-4abd-aaee-42a7a858c242.png?v=1788677310","url":"https:\/\/by-carola.com\/en-eu\/products\/teardrop-peridot-necklace","provider":"Handmade Art by Carola","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
