The symbolism of the jewel and the virtues of the stone in lithotherapy

The name of the jewel is inspired by the title of nobility given to the wives of English Lords and knights. It represents a distinguished woman.

The rectangular link symbolizes perfection. It inspires power, strength, assurance, grandeur and dynamism.

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

Zirconium oxide is a synthetic stone, not to be confused with zircon which is a natural stone. Its hardness and brilliance are similar to those of diamond but at a lower cost.
Being an artificial stone, zirconium oxide has no virtues in lithotherapy but by adorning a piece of jewelry, it brings a lot of well-being and confidence to wear it due to the brilliance and elegance it exudes.

Lithotherapy is a pseudoscientific practice of unconventional medicine based on the belief in a power that certain stones would have, which, through their vibrations and energies, would help improve psychic and physical well-being or even cure diseases. However, there is no scientific evidence for these benefits. The practice of lithotherapy and the use of stones should therefore not replace medical advice.

Choosing your size

Before ordering your necklace, check the size that suits you.

The choice of necklace size depends on your neck size, your morphology, your silhouette, and how you wish to wear it over clothing.
The chain should not be too tight to avoid injury, discomfort, and lack of elegance.

Measure the circumference of your neck using a flexible tape measure, or if you don't have one, use a thread or a strip of paper and then measure its length with a ruler.

The chain sizes in the MOONSTRA store range from 37 to 60 cm. These sizes do not take into account the length of the pendants that make up the necklaces. So remember to add the length of the pendant to get an idea of the full length of the jewel on you.

Generally, but this depends on silhouettes and morphologies, chain sizes (without pendant) fall as follows:

• 40cm: the chain falls at the base of the neck.
• 45cm: the chain falls at the collarbone.
• 50cm: the chain falls below the collarbone.
• 55cm: the chain falls at the top of the chest.
• 60cm: the chain falls lower on the chest.

The following photo illustrates the chain sizes sold in the MOONSTRA store on a mannequin.

It is advisable to measure a well-fitting necklace you wear regularly, composed of its chain and a pendant similar to the one you are interested in from the MOONSTRA store, to help you choose the size of the new one you wish to order.

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

• exposing it to fresh, salt, or chlorinated water. Remove the jewelry before showering or swimming.
