Full Moon Nose Chain

Description

The Full Moon Nose Chain is a face chain that looks like the glow of the night sky. A delicate gold chain rests on the nose and falls in a gentle curve onto the cheeks. Two round golden pendants sway at its ends. Above all, they resemble the disc of the full Moon, which shines brightest in the whole cycle.

It is face jewellery without piercing, which you put on in a few seconds. Simply shape the flexible wire to your nose and hook the chains behind your ears. Without a doubt, it is the easiest way to change your look for a festival, a photo shoot or an evening out. It will certainly catch the eye, while staying subtle and light.

Every nose chain is handmade in my Ametyst Studio workshop. I personally choose the chain, the pendants and the proportions so that the whole piece sits well on the face. Undoubtedly, it is an adornment for women who love the magic of the Moon, festival style and jewellery with a soul.

The nose chain combines three things at once. It works like a piercing without piercing, like long dangling earrings and like make-up that highlights your features. That is why one small adornment can change a whole outfit. Above all, however, it lets you feel like a goddess of the night.

Symbolism

The full Moon has fascinated people all over the world for thousands of years. It is the moment when the silver disc is fully lit by the Sun. The night then becomes bright, and the world looks completely different than by day. Without a doubt, this is why the full moon has always been linked with magic, transformation and mystery.

Nanosek – an original Ametyst Studio name

I came up with the Polish name "nanosek" for this type of jewellery myself. It was formed on the model of the word "naszyjnik", meaning necklace. A "naszyjnik" is worn on the neck ("szyja"), and a "nanosek" on the nose ("nos"). It is one of my original names for body jewellery, alongside "nagłownik", "napierśnik", "nadłonnik" and "naocznik".

In many cultures, the full moon means fulfilment and maturity. It is the time when intentions sown at the new moon bear fruit. Above all, it symbolises abundance, the fullness of feminine power and clarity of mind. That is why full moon pendants are a talisman for those who want to reap the rewards of their efforts.

Where does the Polish word for moon come from?

The Polish word for moon, „księżyc”, has a fascinating history. It comes from the word „książę”, meaning prince, and once meant „young prince” or „prince's son”. The Slavs imagined that the Sun was the ruler of the sky. The Moon was therefore his younger heir, who ruled the night. Certainly, it is a beautiful image that shows how our ancestors saw the sky.

Earlier, in Proto-Slavic, the Moon was called „měsęcь”. This word survived in the Polish „miesiąc”, meaning month, because time was once counted by the phases of the Moon. In Czech, Russian and Ukrainian, the Moon still has a similar name today. Undoubtedly, this shows how closely the Moon was tied to the rhythm of life.

The goddess of the night in mythology

The Greeks worshipped Selene, the goddess of the Moon, who crossed the sky every night in a silver chariot. The Romans called her Luna, and the word „luna” in many languages comes from her name. Artemis, the sister of Apollo, was in turn the goddess of the hunt, wild nature and moonlight. Above all, she was the protector of women and their independence.

In the esoteric tradition, the full Moon is linked with the triple goddess: the maiden, the mother and the crone. The full moon corresponds to the mother, a woman at the height of her strength, fertile and creative. That is why the full moon nose chain is a symbol of feminine power, care and maturity. Without a doubt, it is a beautiful talisman for every woman.

The Moon in Slavic beliefs

The Slavs watched the Moon very closely. They sowed grain, felled trees and gathered herbs according to its phases. It was believed that whatever was done under a waxing Moon would grow and multiply. Under a waning Moon, on the other hand, people got rid of illnesses and troubles. Without a doubt, the full moon was the peak of this cycle and the time of greatest power.

In folk tales, the full moon was also the time when the world of people came closer to the world of spirits. On bright nights, water nymphs called rusałki were seen dancing in meadows and by the water. That is why the full moon was treated with respect, and sometimes with fear. Certainly, this fairy-tale aura has survived in our imagination to this day.

Full moon names throughout the year

Every full moon of the year has its own traditional name. Many of them come from the calendars of North American peoples and old farmers' almanacs. The January full moon is the Wolf Moon, and the February one is the Snow Moon. In May the Flower Moon shines, and in June the Strawberry Moon. Above all, these names show how closely the Moon was tied to nature.

The July full moon is the Buck Moon, and the August one is the Sturgeon Moon. In September or October the Harvest Moon shines, which helped farmers gather crops after dark. The November full moon is the Beaver Moon, and the December one is the Cold Moon. Undoubtedly, each of them can become an occasion to put on your nose chain and celebrate the full moon.

The Moon in ancient jewellery

The Moon motif appeared in jewellery as early as antiquity. Roman women and children wore crescent-shaped amulets called lunulae. They were meant to protect against evil and bring good luck. Round gold discs, in turn, symbolised the full moon, but also the Sun and eternity. Without a doubt, the circle has always been a sign of wholeness and perfection.

For centuries, gold was associated with the Sun and silver with the Moon. In the Full Moon Nose Chain, both worlds meet in one adornment. The golden discs resemble the Moon, which reflects all of the Sun's light when full. Undoubtedly, it is a beautiful metaphor for the harmony of day and night. That is why the nose chain fits perfectly into the Day and Night collection.

The full moon in rituals

Witches and herbalists have used the energy of the full moon in their rituals for centuries. During the full moon, herbs were gathered, stones were charged and intentions were spoken. Many people still leave their crystals on the windowsill at the full moon to cleanse them in moonlight. Certainly, the full moon nose chain can accompany you in such moments.

The full moon is also a time of gratitude and of releasing what no longer serves us. That is why, when you put on the nose chain, you can remind yourself of your goals. Undoubtedly, it is jewellery that not only adorns but also carries a deeper meaning.

Best for the zodiac signs

The Moon plays a very important role in astrology. It describes our emotions, intuition and what we need to feel safe. That is why the full moon nose chain particularly suits the signs that are strongly connected with the Moon.

Cancer is the sign ruled by the Moon. Above all, it is a sensitive, caring and very intuitive sign. Cancers will certainly feel at home in this nose chain. The full moon will remind them of their inner strength and that caring for others is a gift.

Taurus is the sign in which the Moon is exalted. Taureans love beauty, sensuality and high-quality jewellery. Without a doubt, the gold full moon nose chain will perfectly highlight their natural elegance. It is also a symbol of the abundance that Taureans value so much.

Pisces is the sign of dreamers, artists and mystics. Pisces live in a world of dreams, emotions and intuition. Undoubtedly, the full Moon is a symbol close to their hearts. The nose chain will highlight their fairy-tale, somewhat otherworldly beauty.

Scorpio loves mystery, night and transformation. For Scorpio, the full moon is a time when hidden matters come to light. Certainly, Scorpios will appreciate the magical character of this adornment. The nose chain will give them even more seductive radiance.

Leo is a sign that likes to shine and be the centre of attention. The gold colour of the nose chain refers to the Sun, which rules Leo. Above all, the full moon is the moment when the Moon reflects the Sun's light most strongly. That is why Leos will also be delighted with this adornment.

However, you do not need to belong to any of these signs to wear the full moon nose chain. Each of us has a Moon sign in our horoscope that describes our emotions. Certainly, it is worth checking it and feeling how the Moon influences your life. Without a doubt, the nose chain will be a beautiful reminder of this inner side of you.

Aesthetic qualities

The Full Moon Nose Chain enchants with its simplicity and elegance. A thin gold chain lies across the nose like a delicate line of light. It then falls onto the cheeks and ends with two round pendants. Without a doubt, these small golden discs resemble the full Moon or ancient coins.

The pendants sway with every movement of the head and catch the light. As a result, the face gains a subtle glow that looks beautiful in photos. Above all, the nose chain highlights the eyes, cheekbones and the line of the nose. It works like golden contouring that needs no make-up at all.

The adornment has something of oriental jewellery, but also of fairy-tale illustrations. It certainly brings to mind goddesses, priestesses and fairies from old stories. At the same time, it stays light and modern, which is why it suits contemporary outfits. Undoubtedly, it is jewellery that combines magic with fashion.

The gold colour looks beautiful on every skin tone. On fair skin it adds warmth, and on tanned skin it shines even brighter. That is why the nose chain works all year round. In summer at festivals, in autumn at photo shoots among the leaves and in winter at a New Year's Eve ball.

The history of face jewellery

Face jewellery is not an invention of modern fashion. Women in India have worn it for centuries, with a nose ring joined to the ear by a chain. This adornment is called a nath and is an important part of a bride's outfit. Above all, it symbolises beauty, prosperity and happiness in marriage.

Face adornments were also known in the Middle East and North Africa. Women there wore chains with coins that decorated the forehead, cheeks and nose. Certainly, the golden pendants of the Full Moon Nose Chain refer to this tradition. Round discs have always been associated with wealth and protection against the evil eye.

Today, face jewellery is back in fashion thanks to music festivals such as Coachella. Celebrities and influencers wear face chains at concerts, photo shoots and fashion shows. Undoubtedly, nose chains are a modern answer to this trend. They combine an old tradition with comfort, because they do not require piercing the skin.

How to put on the nose chain?

Putting on the nose chain is very simple and takes only a moment. First, gently shape the wire to fit your nose. Then rest it on the bridge of your nose, like the frame of glasses. Finally, hook the chains behind your ears and arrange the pendants on your cheeks. Without a doubt, after the very first try you will feel how comfortably it sits.

The nose chain is very light, so it does not press on your nose or ears. You can dance, laugh and have fun in it all night long. It will certainly also work with glasses if you hook the chains behind their arms. Above all, what matters is that you feel free and beautiful in it.

Best paired with

The Full Moon Nose Chain goes beautifully with other gold-coloured adornments. Above all, I recommend pairing it with a gold tiara with pearls. Pearls have been associated with the Moon for centuries, because they have the same milky glow. Without a doubt, such a duo will create the look of a true goddess of the night.

For a fairy costume, add fairy wings and a magic wand. White, silver or purple wings will certainly emphasise the moonlit mood. A wand with rock crystal or amethyst will add power and sparkle to the whole look. It is the perfect set for Halloween, carnival and a fantasy photo shoot.

For everyday wear and festivals, the nose chain looks good with delicate chains around the neck. It is worth adding chokers, necklaces with a pearl or a moon pendant. Hand bracelets and rings with a moon phase motif also go well with it. Undoubtedly, jewellery from the Day and Night collection forms a matching set with the nose chain.

As for clothes, the nose chain looks beautiful with white ruffled shirts and flowing dresses. It suits boho, romantic and cottagecore styles. It also looks great with shimmering eye make-up in shades of purple, navy or gold. Certainly, it is worth adding a little glitter to your cheeks.

Make-up for the nose chain

The nose chain is an adornment in itself, so your make-up can be simple. Above all, go for glowing skin and a delicate highlighter on your cheekbones. The golden pendants will then reflect the light even more beautifully. Add mascara and a natural lipstick, and you are ready.

If you like a stronger effect, choose winged eyeliner and eyeshadows in the colours of the night sky. Navy, purple and silver contrast beautifully with gold. Without a doubt, a touch of glitter or tiny crystals on the eyelids will create a moonlit look. Certainly, such a combination will impress at a festival and in photos.

How to care for it?

The nose chain is made of durable materials, but delicate jewellery always appreciates a little care. Above all, follow a few simple rules:

• wipe the nose chain with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth;
• avoid contact with perfume, hairspray and chemicals;
• put on the nose chain after applying make-up and cosmetics;
• take it off before sleeping, bathing and exercising;
• store it separately, preferably in a pouch or box;
• do not bend the wire too hard or too often;
• take care that the chain does not catch on clothes or hair.

Thanks to these simple rules, the nose chain will keep its shine for a long time. Without a doubt, it will accompany you through many festivals and full moons.

If you like, you can also cleanse the nose chain energetically during the full moon. Simply place it on the windowsill in the moonlight for one night. Certainly, it is a beautiful ritual that will add even more magic to your jewellery. Undoubtedly, the nose chain will then become your personal talisman.

I personally and carefully check every nose chain before shipping. I pack it so that it reaches you safely and is ready to wear.
