 The symbolism of the jewel

The name of the jewel is inspired by the Greek goddess "Hera", the protective goddess of women, marriage, fertility, life, and family.

The Tree of Life has many meanings. It has been present throughout history in many cultures and beliefs in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and pre-Columbian America.

Among its meanings, we find the symbolism of knowledge and spiritual goodness among Buddhists, the transmission of divine wisdom among Hindus, the knowledge of good and evil as well as immortality in Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, or even life, a passage between the world of the living, the dead, and the gods among the Celts.

Charged with positive energies, it is a protective symbol, a good luck charm. It symbolizes strength, energy, wisdom, eternity, a connection to the world and to the visible and invisible elements of the universe.

Gold plating is a process steeped in history. This gilding technique has been used worldwide since antiquity. Once a sign of wealth and power, it now conveys elegance.

Choosing your size

Before ordering your earrings (studs, posts, hoops, pendants, etc.), check the size that suits you.

The size depends on the morphology of your ears, the position of your piercings, and the outfit you wish to wear.

An earring should not be too tight to avoid injury, discomfort, and a lack of elegance. It should be able to move slightly.
It is therefore advisable to measure well-fitting earrings that you wear regularly to help you choose the size of the new ones you wish to order.

Usage and care tips

To preserve the jewel from premature aging and maintain its brilliance, MOONSTRA advises you to avoid:

• exposing it to fresh, salt, or chlorinated water. Remove the jewel before showering or swimming.
• exposing it to sand and salt. Remove the jewel before going to the beach.
• exposing it directly to perfumes, deodorants, creams, and other cosmetic products. Wait for the products to be absorbed by the skin before putting on the jewel.
• exposing it to oxidizing products. Remove the jewel before doing housework or DIY tasks.
• exposing it to heavy perspiration. Remove the jewel before any intense physical activity.
• keeping it on while sleeping and for manual activities.

To clean and polish the jewel, MOONSTRA advises you to gently rub it with a soft-bristled brush moistened with water combined with a mild shampoo or Marseille soap, then rinse it with clear water and finally dry it with a soft cloth.
