{"product_id":"astraea-sapphirine-colier","title":"Astraea Azzura necklace","description":"\u003cp\u003eSapphirine is a rarity in the world of jewellery. Most crystals are not gem quality and specimens suitable for faceting are exceptionally rare. Named for its often sapphire-like colour, it is a mineral in its own right, and fine crystals with enough clarity to be faceted are exceptionally rare. The blue-green stones chosen for the Astraea Sapphirine Collier come from Madagascar, sourced through Mara Gems from small-scale artisanal mines. They are completely untreated and traceable back to where they were found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo strands of freshwater pearls lead towards the Astraea flowers, each made entirely by hand in filigree, while long strands of faceted chrysocolla fall below. From turquoise and blue to deeper greens, the natural variations in the stones bring the necklace to life with colour and movement. The flowers are built in two layers, with the upper section worked in\u0026nbsp;\u003ci\u003ealto relieve\u003c\/i\u003e, a traditional three-dimensional filigree technique that raises the delicate wirework into sculptural relief. A faceted sapphirine sits at the heart of each flower, framed by warm gold and the intricate lines of the filigree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFew gemstones are rare enough to remain unfamiliar even among those who know jewellery well. Sapphirine is one of them. Combined with filigree, a technique now practised by relatively few goldsmiths, it makes this necklace unusual in a way that has very little to do with fashion or trends. Its rarity lies in what it is, and in how it was made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eINFOBREAK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.7319%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 74.9116%;\"\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.7319%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 74.9116%;\"\u003e18K or 24K vermeil, 3 micron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.7319%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGemstone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 74.9116%;\"\u003eFaceted Sapphirine, 3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.7319%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGemstone beads\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 74.9116%;\"\u003eFaceted chrysocolla coin beads, approx. 7 mm\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.7319%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePearls\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 74.9116%;\"\u003eFreshwater pearls, 7x5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.7319%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 74.9116%;\"\u003eApprox. 41cm tot the lowest point\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.7319%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGewicht\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 74.9116%;\"\u003eCa. 60 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 24.7319%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 74.9116%;\"\u003eFiligree, entirely handcrafted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Diosa del Alma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56517026644299,"sku":null,"price":2025.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/6848\/6475\/files\/diosa-del-alma-astraea-sapphirine-necklace.png?v=1789750460","url":"https:\/\/diosadelalma.com\/en\/products\/astraea-sapphirine-necklace","provider":"Diosa del Alma","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
