The symbolism of the jewel

The name of the jewel is inspired by the name "Maya". It is derived from the Hebrew "Mar-Yam" which means "drop of the sea". Here, it symbolizes purity and nobility.

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

Originating from Africa, hoop earrings have been worn since antiquity in various cultures around the world as a symbol of wealth, beauty, or protection. Throughout history, they have also represented a sign of cultural attachment, particularly for enslaved Africans deported to the New World.
Today, and since the 20th century, hoop earrings are true fashion accessories, very popular. They symbolize affirmation as well as feminine and identity power.

Choosing your size

Before ordering your earrings (studs, posts, hoops, dangles...), 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.
• Directly exposing it 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.
• Exposing it to heavy perspiration. Remove the jewel before any intense physical activity.
• Keeping it on while sleeping or during 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.
