The nose was once believed to be the 'seat' of the sixth sense. Indeed amongst the many jewels with which the woman adorns herself, the nose-pin (nath) is the perhaps the most seductive. Ornaments for the nose take on a variety of shapes ranging from tiny jeweled studs resting on the curve of the nostril, to large gold hoops that encircle the cheek with graceful pendant pearls dangling provocatively just above the upper lip. There is a great variety in their shapes and sizes to cater the demand of ladies.
