{"product_id":"tropfen-rubin-kette","title":"Teardrop Ruby Necklace","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Stone: Ruby from the Corundum Family\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuby is the red gem variety of the mineral corundum, made of aluminum oxide. Its color comes from chromium, which replaces some of the aluminum atoms in the crystal lattice. The more chromium it contains, the deeper the red. All other color varieties of the same mineral are called sapphire; only red corundum may be called ruby. With a Mohs hardness of 9, it is the hardest natural mineral after diamond and highly scratch-resistant. Fine rutile needles inside, known in the trade as silk, often give it a soft sheen. This teardrop shows a rich red with a violet undertone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can choose between 925 sterling silver and the warm tone of 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 only a wafer-thin surface layer, wears off over time, and fades fairly quickly, 14K gold-filled keeps its warm gold tone for years. The ruby is polished into a soft teardrop shape and drilled, so it sits directly on the fine chain without a setting and stays centered as you wear it. Each stone is selected individually and strung by hand. The teardrop measures about 8 to 10 mm. 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\u003eIn Sanskrit, ruby is called ratnaraj, king of gems. In India, it was considered a talisman; in Burma, warriors wore it as a sign of courage; and in the Middle Ages, it stood for love and passion. By tradition, it also stands for vitality. As the birthstone for July and the stone for a 40th wedding anniversary, it makes a very personal gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCaring for Your Ruby Necklace\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pendant and chain are water-resistant and made for everyday wear. To make your necklace last as long as possible, you should 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 rinse the necklace with clean water and dry it carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause ruby is a treated stone, skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners, and protect it from high heat and sudden changes in temperature. With a Mohs hardness of 9, it is very scratch-resistant, but it still doesn't like hard knocks. Store the necklace dry and apart from your other jewelry, and its color and shine will stay beautiful for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Handmade Art by Carola","offers":[{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55271102054729,"sku":"RUB001","price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55271102087497,"sku":"RUB001","price":149.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55271102120265,"sku":"RUB001","price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55271102153033,"sku":"RUB001","price":89.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55271102185801,"sku":"RUB001","price":89.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55271102218569,"sku":"RUB001","price":89.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55271102251337,"sku":"RUB001","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55271102284105,"sku":"RUB001","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55271102316873,"sku":"RUB001","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55271102349641,"sku":"RUB001","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55271102382409,"sku":"RUB001","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55271102415177,"sku":"RUB001","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/1419\/5003\/files\/1_b70d0341-28a1-40a5-8f83-e9a5b57660a6.png?v=1788680225","url":"https:\/\/by-carola.com\/en\/products\/teardrop-ruby-necklace","provider":"Handmade Art by Carola","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
