The symbolism of the jewel

The jewel's name is inspired by the Arabic name "Mona", meaning "desire".

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 signifies elegance.

Choosing your size

Before ordering your ankle chain, check the size that suits you.
The size depends on the shape of your ankle and how you wish to wear it.
Measure your ankle's circumference with 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.
Generally, the measurement is taken at the bottom of the ankle at the malleolus (the "bony bump" you have on the side and outside of your foot).
The ankle chain size is usually 1 to 2 cm longer than the ankle circumference. It all depends on how you want to wear it, loose or tighter, but it should be able to turn easily around the ankle.
The ankle chain should not be too tight or too loose to avoid injuries, discomfort, or lack of elegance.
It is advisable to measure a well-fitting one that you wear regularly 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 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.
• exposing it to heavy perspiration. Remove the jewel before any intense physical activity.
• keeping it on for sleeping and manual activities.

To clean and polish the jewel, 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 clear water and finally dry it with a soft cloth.
