This sun charm shows a sun with a face: closed eyes, a gentle smile and pointed rays all around. It measures about 9 x 11 mm and is made entirely of metal, either 925 sterling silver or 14K gold-filled. Sterling silver contains 92.5 percent pure silver; the rest is usually copper, which makes the soft precious metal stronger. Since there is no stone in it, the charm is water-resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the gold version I use 14K gold-filled, which means a sturdy core beneath a thick layer of real gold. This layer lasts much longer than simple gold plating, and the warm color stays. A small jump ring connects the sun to a spring ring clasp made of the same metal. Open the spring ring with your thumbnail, hook it onto the bracelet or necklace and let it snap shut, and the sun charm is securely attached. That way the sun can move between your pieces whenever you feel like it. I assemble every charm by hand in my studio in Frankfurt and check the spring ring before it goes out to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Meaning of the Sun\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharms collect memories: each one stands for a person, a place or a moment.

After chlorine or salt water, give it a quick rinse with clear water. Check now and then that the spring ring still closes properly, especially if the charm hangs on a bracelet you wear a lot. If it no longer closes properly, take the charm off so the sun doesn't get lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf the silver darkens over time, polish it with a silver polishing cloth. The recessed lines in the face can stay a little darker, which brings out the relief. Clean gold charms with mild soapy water.

At its center is a face in relief, with closed eyes and a quiet smile, surrounded by pointed rays. The raised areas catch the light while the recesses stay in shadow, which makes the sun look three-dimensional and alive. It comes in 925 sterling silver, an alloy of 92.5 percent pure silver and 7.5 percent other metals, usually copper, and in 14K gold-filled. It has no stone, so the whole necklace is water-resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14K gold-filled means that a thick layer of real gold is firmly bonded to a base metal under heat and pressure. Because this gold layer is much thicker than ordinary gold plating, it wears away far more slowly, and its warm tone stays with you for a long time. The sun hangs from a slim bail, and a box chain runs through it. The small square links sit close together, so the chain lies smooth and flat against your neck and hardly twists.

A soft silver polishing cloth brings back its shine, and you can clean 14K gold-filled with mild soapy water when needed.

Without this slow process deep in the earth, the crystal would stay colorless. Its shades range from soft lilac to deep purple, depending on the iron content and the radiation dose.

Aragonite is a form of calcium carbonate. The glow does not come from polishing but from light that is refracted and reflected in these stacked layers. This also creates the delicate shimmer of color over the white, which experts call orient. The pearl on this necklace is a cultured freshwater pearl in the shape of a slim crescent moon. Each piece has its own curve and its own shimmer. With a Mohs hardness of 2.5 to 4.5, nacre is one of the soft materials and likes gentle handling.\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 crescent is threaded by hand onto a fine box chain whose square links interlock closely and lie smoothly against your neck. That way, the pendant sits in the center but can move, and it keeps settling into its own position as you wear it.

The sun sits on its own small spring ring. That way, you can take it off or hook it onto a different link, and later there is room for a second charm next to it.

After wearing it, lay the necklace flat in its box so the points don't catch on anything. A polishing cloth makes tarnished silver shine again. It's best to take the necklace off to sleep so it doesn't get kinked.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Handmade Art by Carola","offers":[{"title":"Gold \/ White","offer_id":55680175866185,"sku":"OLSTE-KET-GW45-NEEDLE","price":90.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Lilac","offer_id":55680175931721,"sku":"OLSTE-KET-GL45-NEEDLE","price":90.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ White","offer_id":55680175997257,"sku":"OLSTE-KET-SW45-NEEDLE","price":80.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Lilac","offer_id":55680176062793,"sku":"OLSTE-KET-SL45-NEEDLE","price":80.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/1419\/5003\/files\/stern-kette-opal-optik-05-groesse.jpg?v=1792486330"},{"product_id":"halbmond-kette-opal-optik","title":"Crescent Moon Necklace in Opal Look","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Crescent Moon in Opal Look\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis crescent moon necklace carries a slender crescent of 8 x 11 mm. The pendant shimmers in an opal look. When light falls on the crescent, tiny colorful dots dance across its surface, like a little night sky. White looks clear and bright, and lilac has a cool lavender tone. The chain runs through a fine hole drilled in the upper tip, so the crescent hangs freely and moves with you. The slim shape suits delicate necklines and is easy to layer with other necklaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fine box chain comes in 925 sterling silver and in 14K gold-filled. 14K gold-filled means that gold is permanently applied to a base metal in a thick layer and doesn't wear off as quickly as thin gold plating. Sterling silver is 92.5 percent pure silver, and the rest is usually copper. The box chain lies flat against your neck and glides smoothly through the moon. In my studio in Frankfurt, I assemble each crescent moon necklace by hand and check the drill hole and the edges. The length is adjustable, so you can wear it close as a choker or longer, up to 45 cm (17.7 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning of the Moon\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe moon goes through all its phases in about 29.5 days. That's why, in many cultures, the crescent stands for change and new beginnings. A moon necklace reminds you that every phase has its time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCaring for Your Crescent Moon Necklace\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater doesn't bother the necklace, so you can wear it in the shower. Chemicals are another story: perfume, sunscreen, and chlorine make the shimmer look duller over time. So spray on your fragrance before you put on the necklace, and take it off before swimming. After a day at the beach, a quick rinse with tap water is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo store the necklace, place it in its box so the moon doesn't rub against other jewelry. Silver that has darkened turns bright again with a soft polishing cloth. It's better to take the necklace off for sports so it doesn't get caught on anything. Then your crescent moon will stay with you for a long time and sparkle like it did on the first day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Handmade Art by Carola","offers":[{"title":"Gold \/ White","offer_id":55680177209673,"sku":"OLHMD-KET-GW45-NEEDLE","price":90.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Lilac","offer_id":55680177275209,"sku":"OLHMD-KET-GL45-NEEDLE","price":90.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ White","offer_id":55680177340745,"sku":"OLHMD-KET-SW45-NEEDLE","price":80.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Lilac","offer_id":55680177406281,"sku":"OLHMD-KET-SL45-NEEDLE","price":80.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/1419\/5003\/files\/halbmond-kette-opal-optik-05-groesse.jpg?v=1792486410"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/1419\/5003\/collections\/3_cb09ed01-3125-457d-ba31-1b4f607b16d5.png?v=1794611128","url":"https:\/\/by-carola.com\/en\/collections\/jewelry-gifts.oembed","provider":"Handmade Art by Carola","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
