{"product_id":"tropfen-labradorit-kette","title":"Teardrop Labradorite Necklace","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Stone: Labradorite from the Feldspar Family\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabradorite is a plagioclase from the feldspar group, a mixed crystal of albite and anorthite with an anorthite content of 50 to 70 percent. Its body is gray to grayish black, but as soon as you turn it, a blue-green fire sweeps across the domed surface. This play of color is called labradorescence. It appears when light is reflected by extremely thin, submicroscopic layers inside the crystal (exsolution lamellae) and the reflections overlap. So the effect comes from structure, not from any coloring. With a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5, the stone is moderately hard and likes gentle handling in everyday life.\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 stone itself is genuine labradorite, cut into a teardrop, polished, and treated. Each teardrop is selected individually and strung by hand, so it rests calmly and centered at your collarbone. It hangs on a fine chain, and you choose the length when you order: 45 cm (17.7 in) or 40 cm (15.7 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning of the Stone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stone owes its name to the Labrador Peninsula in northeastern Canada, where it was first described in 1770. In the far north, its shifting glow has long been compared to the northern lights. By tradition, labradorite stands for intuition, protection, and inner clarity, for a calm look within. That makes it a quiet companion for people who want to trust their own decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCaring for Your Labradorite 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 swimming in the ocean or a pool, it's best to rinse the necklace with clean water and dry it carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLabradorite doesn't belong in an ultrasonic or steam cleaner, and it doesn't like high heat or sudden changes in temperature. Store your necklace dry and apart from harder pieces of jewelry, because feldspar is softer than quartz and scratches easily. This way, the play of color in the stone and the polish of its surface will stay beautiful for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Handmade Art by Carola","offers":[{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55256635343177,"sku":"LAB001","price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55256635375945,"sku":"LAB001","price":149.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55256635408713,"sku":"LAB001","price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55256635441481,"sku":"LAB001","price":89.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55256635474249,"sku":"LAB001","price":89.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55256635507017,"sku":"LAB001","price":89.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55256635539785,"sku":"LAB001","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55256635572553,"sku":"LAB001","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55256635605321,"sku":"LAB001","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55256635638089,"sku":"LAB001","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55256635670857,"sku":"LAB001","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55256635703625,"sku":"LAB001","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/1419\/5003\/files\/1_49541777-3d11-4238-82cb-d4a568837ccb.png?v=1788592807","url":"https:\/\/by-carola.com\/en\/products\/teardrop-labradorite-necklace","provider":"Handmade Art by Carola","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
