{"product_id":"roher-peridot-kette-unikat","title":"Raw 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. With a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, it is moderately hard and does best in a protective setting. An old name for it is chrysolite. It typically has a glassy to slightly oily luster that makes the stone look lively even in low light.\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 shape of your stone. The pendant hangs on a fine chain with closely interlocking square links. 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\u003eAs early as ancient Egypt, peridot was mined on the island of Zabargad in the Red Sea and revered as the \"stone of the sun.\" For many centuries, the green gemstone was mistaken for other stones. Even some famous supposed emeralds later turned out to be peridots. By tradition, it stands for a zest for life, clarity, and new beginnings. As a birthstone for August, it also makes an especially 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 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\u003ePeridot shouldn't be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner or with steam, and it needs protection from high heat and sudden changes in temperature. Store your necklace dry and apart from harder pieces of jewelry, because peridot can be sensitive to scratches and hard knocks. This way, the bright green 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":55256567644489,"sku":"PER001","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55256567677257,"sku":"PER001","price":159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55256567710025,"sku":"PER001","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55256567742793,"sku":"PER001","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55256567775561,"sku":"PER001","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55256567808329,"sku":"PER001","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55256567841097,"sku":"PER001","price":136.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55256567873865,"sku":"PER001","price":136.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55256567906633,"sku":"PER001","price":136.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55256567939401,"sku":"PER001","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55256567972169,"sku":"PER001","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55256568004937,"sku":"PER001","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/1419\/5003\/files\/1_c3229d98-313e-4660-8256-a96f089dd951.png?v=1788586798","url":"https:\/\/by-carola.com\/en-int\/products\/raw-peridot-necklace","provider":"Handmade Art by Carola","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
