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

The name of the jewel is inspired by the Basque first name which comes from the word "Nahi" and means desired. It simply symbolizes the love of a loved one.

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 jewel, it brings a lot of well-being and confidence to wear it due to the brilliance and elegance it radiates.

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 psychological and physical well-being or even cure illnesses. However, there is no scientific evidence of 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 figure, 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 in the MOONSTRA shop 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 total length of the jewelry on you.

In general, but this depends on figures and morphologies, chain sizes (without pendant) fall as follows:

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

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

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

Usage and care tips

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

• exposing it to fresh, salt or chlorinated water. Remove the jewel before taking a shower 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.
• 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 make the jewel shine, MOONSTRA advises you to gently rub it with a soft-bristled brush moistened with water and a mild shampoo or Marseille soap, then rinse it with clean water, and finally dry it with a soft cloth.
