The symbolism of the jewel

The jewel's name is inspired by the Russian name "Nadia", which means "hope".

The five circles that compose the jewel symbolize the five major stages of life: birth, childhood and adolescence, adulthood, old age, and death.
They represent, throughout the cycle of life, protection against negative energies, trials, sorrows, and pains of the past, present, and future.

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 is now a symbol of elegance.

Choosing your size

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

The choice of necklace size depends on your neck size, your body shape, 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 with a flexible tape measure, or if you don't have one, use a string or a strip of paper and then measure its length with a ruler.

The chain sizes available at the MOONSTRA store range from 37 to 60 cm. These sizes do not include the length of the pendants that make up the necklaces. Therefore, remember to add the length of the pendant to get an idea of the complete length of the jewel on you.

Generally, but this depends on body shapes and silhouettes, chain sizes (without a 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, consisting 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.
