{"product_id":"opal-herz-creolen-ohrringe","title":"Opal Heart Hoop Earrings","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHeart Hoop Earrings with Opal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of these heart hoop earrings carries a small opal heart. Opal is hydrated silicon dioxide without a fixed crystal form, which is why experts classify it as a mineraloid. Its interior consists of tiny spheres that diffract light and create a play of bright colors. The hearts are cut as smooth cabochons, meaning without facets, so the play of color glows undisturbed across the surface. Green, blue, and violet appear on the white base. Set in a slim gold bezel, each heart swings freely below the round curve of the hoop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hoops and settings are made of 14K gold-filled and are available in gold only. The gold layer of this material is much thicker than on gold-plated jewelry and permanently bonded to the base metal, so the warm gold tone lasts a long time. The hoops are fine and light, so the little heart can play the leading role. A tiny ring connects the heart and the hoop, so the heart can turn freely. I hang the hearts by hand in my studio in Oberhausen and check with every pair that both swing freely. You always receive the heart hoop earrings as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning of the Heart and Opal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Romans called opal opalus, precious stone, a word that probably goes back to the Sanskrit upala. For centuries, the heart has been the symbol of love. Together, they make these heart hoop earrings a tender gift, especially for people with an October birthday, because opal is their birthstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCaring for Your Heart Hoop Earrings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gold hoops are water-resistant, but with the opal, it's better to be careful. Shampoo, chlorine, and perfume attack its surface, and high heat draws water out of it. So take your heart hoop earrings out before you shower, swim, or go to the sauna, and put them back in only after styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the fine hoops gently and don't bend them open, so they stay round. Clean the hearts only with a soft, slightly damp cloth, without ultrasonic cleaners or steam. Store the hoops closed in a small pouch to protect the opal from scratches by harder jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Handmade Art by Carola","offers":[{"title":"Gold","offer_id":55676458303817,"sku":"OPH-CRE-G","price":149.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/1419\/5003\/files\/opal-herz-creolen-ohrringe-01-gold.jpg?v=1792454296","url":"https:\/\/by-carola.com\/en\/products\/opal-heart-hoop-earrings","provider":"Handmade Art by Carola","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
