Description
The pentagram "nanosek" is a gold face chain for those who love magic and bold style. It replaces make-up, glitter, piercing and super long earrings all at once. A delicate wire rests on the nose, and fine links run across the cheeks all the way behind the ears. Halfway along this line shine two white pendants shaped like five-pointed stars.
It is my original design, which I make entirely by hand in the Ametyst Studio workshop. I use gold-plated 316L stainless steel and an anchor chain. I personally check every piece before shipping. This way the piece will survive the longest party and many more festivals.
You put on this face jewellery without piercing in seconds, just like glasses. You shape the wire to your nose and hook the longer strands behind your ears. Extra chains hang at the back, looking like dangle earrings and weighing the whole piece down. So the face chain does not fall off even while dancing until dawn.
This festival jewellery adds incredible charm to women and men alike. Above all, it is a piece with character, for people who are not afraid to stand out. The white of the pentagrams contrasts beautifully with the warm glow of gold.
Symbolism
The pentagram is one of the oldest symbols known to humanity. It was drawn more than five thousand years ago in ancient Mesopotamia. Over the centuries it stood for protection, health, harmony and perfection. The gold pentagram face chain carries all this rich history.
Nanosek – an original Ametyst Studio name
This face chain is a "nanosek". I came up with the name myself, on the model of the word "naszyjnik", meaning an ornament worn on the neck ("szyja"). The "nanosek", in turn, is worn on the nose ("nos"). It is one of my original names for body jewellery, alongside "nagłownik", "napierśnik", "nadłonnik" and "naocznik".
Where does the word "pentagram" come from?
The name comes from Greek and combines two words. "Pente" means "five", and "gramma" means "line" or "letter". A pentagram is therefore literally "a sign of five lines". Indeed, it can be drawn in one stroke, without lifting your hand from the paper.
In medieval Germany it was called the "Drudenfuß", meaning "nightmare's foot". It was believed that this sign carved on the threshold protected the home from night spirits. It was drawn on doors, cradles and ceiling beams. Above all, it was a protective talisman.
The pentagram in antiquity
The Pythagoreans, followers of the famous mathematician, regarded the pentagram as a symbol of health. They wrote the letters of the Greek word "hygieia" on its points. For them it was also a sign of recognition within their community. They were fascinated by its mathematical perfection.
The pentagram contains the golden ratio, regarded since antiquity as the key to beauty. Its segments divide in a proportion that we find in shells, flowers and the human body. That is why the five-pointed star has long been called a symbol of the harmony of nature.
The star of Venus
This symbol is also linked with astronomy. Over eight years, the planet Venus traces a path across the sky whose points form an almost perfect pentagram. Ancient sky-watchers knew this phenomenon. That is why the five-pointed star was associated with Venus, the goddess of love and beauty.
The five elements
In modern magical tradition, each point of the pentagram corresponds to one element. These are earth, water, fire, air and spirit. A pentagram with its point facing upwards means spirit watching over matter. It is a sign of balance, protection and conscious power.
The white colour of the pendants further emphasises this symbolism. White is associated with pure intentions, light and protection. White pentagrams on your face remind you that magic can be bright and good. It is a piece for those who believe in the power of positive energy.
A knightly sign
In the medieval poem about Sir Gawain, a knight of the Round Table, the hero bears a pentangle on his shield. Its five points symbolised five noble virtues: generosity, fellowship, purity, courtesy and compassion. The golden pentangle was for him a sign of honour and protection. It is a beautiful story for jewellery you wear with pride.
Properties
The pentagram and gold are credited with many beautiful meanings. According to old beliefs, this piece:
- protects against negative energy and the evil eye;
- strengthens the sense of inner strength;
- brings harmony and balance of the elements;
- adds courage and self-confidence;
- supports intuition and spiritual growth;
- attracts happiness and good fortune;
- brightens the face with a warm glow;
- reminds you of the power of conscious intentions.
You can treat the face chain as a personal talisman for special nights. When putting it on, say an intention, for example: "I am protected and strong." The white stars on your cheeks will remind you of it with every smile.
Jewellery that works like make-up
The gold links draw subtle lines on the face, much like contouring. They reflect light like a highlighter, and the white pendants add a bold accent. The effect resembles festival glitter, but it does not run and needs no removing. It is jewellery that works like make-up, which you take off in one movement.
Piercing without holes
The wire on the nose looks like a nose ring or a septum piercing. Your skin, however, remains untouched. You can change your look every day, without pain or long healing. It is the perfect solution for those who love the piercing look but value freedom.
When to choose this nose chain?
The gold pentagram face chain works in many situations. It is worth choosing when:
- you are going to a music festival, a rock or metal concert;
- you are looking for party jewellery for Halloween or a sabbat;
- you are planning a photo shoot with a magical or dark vibe;
- you perform on stage and want a striking effect;
- you are going on holiday and looking for original beach jewellery;
- you want the piercing look without piercing your skin;
- you love magical and esoteric symbolism;
- you are looking for a gift for a witch, a wizard or a lover of the occult.
A festival face chain
In front of the stage, what counts is freedom, music and bold outfits. A festival face chain lets you stand out in the crowd without lengthy make-up. The pentagrams look beautiful in the light of spotlights, bonfires and the setting sun. The weights behind the ears keep the piece in place until the last concert.
Rock, gothic and boho outfits suit this face chain. Pair it with a black corset, leather shorts and combat boots. You can also go for white lace, a wide-brimmed hat and cowboy boots. On your eyelids, add gold pigment or a bold black graphic liner.
Stage and photo shoot jewellery
During a performance, what counts is an effect visible from afar. The gold chains reflect light, and the white pentagrams stand out clearly against the skin. That is why it is great stage jewellery for singers, musicians, dancers and actors. It particularly suits rock and metal concerts and fantasy performances.
Photographers love choosing the face chain as jewellery for magical-themed shoots. It looks beautiful in photos taken in the forest, by candlelight, in old ruins and in the studio. It is also perfect for a Halloween or witchy photo shoot. Every frame gains a mysterious character thanks to it.
Jewellery for the beach and parties
Gold-plated 316L steel is not afraid of sun, water or wind. The face chain is therefore wonderful beach jewellery for holiday trips. After dark you can take it to a party at a club or an open-air concert. Just add a black dress and loose hair.
For women and men
The face chain adds incredible charm to women and men alike. On women, it creates the magical, sensual look of a sorceress. On men, it highlights a rebellious, artistic character. The pentagram has appeared in rock music for decades, so it suits men's stage looks perfectly.
A gift full of magic
Looking for a present for someone who loves magic, fantasy or rock? The gold pentagram face chain is an original gift for a friend, a sister, a partner or a musician. It is perfect for a birthday, Halloween, an eighteenth birthday or before a festival. Such a gift says: "You have magic within you."
Best for the zodiac signs
Anyone can wear this face chain, but a few zodiac signs will feel its power especially strongly.
Scorpio loves mystery, magic and deep transformations. The pentagram, a symbol of power and protection, perfectly reflects its nature. It is a piece made for its magnetic personality.
Leo is ruled by the Sun and loves being the centre of attention. The gold chain lets it shine on any stage. The white stars highlight its royal self-confidence.
Aquarius values originality and breaking the mould. Face jewellery with pentagrams is its way of expressing rebellion. No one will have the same look.
Aries is a sign of fire, courage and action. The pentagram, as a symbol of the elements, gives it energy and strength. Gold highlights its fiery temperament.
Pisces is a sign of intuition, dreams and spirituality. The five-pointed star supports its connection with the inner world. The white pendants bring it calm and protection.
Aesthetic qualities
The pentagram face chain enchants with the contrast of white and gold. The fine anchor chains are light and almost invisible from afar. The white stars come to the fore, standing out clearly against the skin. The whole looks magical, bold and very striking.
The links lie on the cheeks in gentle arcs and visually slim the face. Behind the ears, extra strands 8 and 12 cm long flow down. They resemble super long, asymmetric earrings and sway with every movement. They add lightness and dynamism to your look.
The piece weighs very little and does not press on the nose or ears. After a moment you forget you are wearing it. You can wear it through a whole festival day and dance in it all night.
Face chain, nose chain and face piece
Around the world such an ornament is called a face chain, a nose chain or a face piece. In Poland we speak of a nose chain or a face necklace. The "nanosek" combines all these forms in one well-thought-out design. It is gold face jewellery that replaces several different accessories.
Gold for every skin tone
The gold colour looks most beautiful with warm, olive and tanned skin. It also brightens fair skin, especially combined with bronzer. The white pendants suit every eye and hair colour. With a short hairstyle, the longer chains behind the ears are fully visible.
A handmade original design
I make every face chain myself in my workshop. I choose the lengths of the chains so that the pentagrams fall roughly halfway down the cheeks. I also check that the weights behind the ears stabilise the whole piece well. It is original jewellery you will not buy in a chain store.
Best paired with
The face chain belongs to the Day and Night collection, where the lights of day and night meet. It looks most beautiful paired with the Gold Pentagram Star body harness. Together they create a coherent, magical look from the face down to the waist. If you prefer other star motifs, choose the Golden Star of the South face chain.
For every day, combine the piece with a delicate pendant necklace, such as the Golden Lunula. A hairstyle that reveals the cheeks and ears suits face jewellery best. Choose a high bun, braids or waves tucked behind the ear.
In terms of clothing, the face chain loves black, white, burgundy and earthy colours. It looks beautiful with a corset, lace, velvet and leather. Men can pair it with an open black shirt, a leather jacket and signet rings.
Warm, bold make-up suits this piece. Go for brown or black eyeshadow, gold pigment and a dark lipstick. Highlighter on the cheekbones will emphasise the line of the links. The face chain itself, however, is so striking that mascara is enough.
How to care for it?
Gold-plated 316L stainless steel is very durable and water-resistant. Even so, the piece will keep its beauty longer if you take care of a few details:
- put the face chain on only after make-up, cream and perfume;
- after wearing, wipe the chains with a soft, dry cloth;
- remove cosmetic residue with lukewarm water and a little soap;
- protect the white pendants from knocks and sharp objects;
- store the piece laid flat or in a separate pouch;
- do not bend the wire too often so that it keeps its shape;
- avoid abrasives and harsh chemicals.
How to put on the nose chain?
Start by gently shaping the wire to fit your nose. Then guide the chains along your face and hook them behind your ears, like the arms of glasses. The pentagrams should sit roughly halfway down your cheeks. The longer strands at the back hang freely and keep the piece in place.
The first time, stand in front of a mirror and check that both pendants are at the same height. If needed, gently squeeze or widen the wire. Next time it will take you just a moment.
Material
- gold-plated 316L stainless steel;
- anchor chain;
- two white pendants shaped like a pentagram, a five-pointed star;
- length of the face chains: 36 cm;
- two chains, 8 and 12 cm long, hang from each end;
- total length: approx. 85 cm;
- made entirely by hand in the Ametyst Studio workshop.
Why 316L steel?
316L is surgical steel, used among other things to make medical instruments. It is resistant to corrosion, sweat and moisture. Gold plating gives it a warm, sunny colour and an elegant shine. That is why it is undoubtedly a great choice for face jewellery worn close to the skin.
Why the extra chains?
The 8 and 12 cm strands act as a counterweight. Thanks to them, the wire sits securely on the nose, and the piece does not slip when you jump and dance. It is a detail that sets my design apart from many similar pieces available online. At the same time, it looks beautiful as an extra pair of earrings.
Who is this face chain for?
The pentagram face chain is for people who are bold, creative and fascinated by magic. It will appeal to festival fans, musicians, artists and lovers of fantasy. It will also be loved by those who want the piercing look without piercing their skin. Without a doubt, it is a piece for anyone who carries a little magical power within.
It is gold jewellery for festivals, the stage, the beach and photo shoots in one design. It will surely become your favourite accessory for magical nights.
