Morphology

pentagram + necklace

The phrase is directly compositional: 'pentagram' denotes a five-pointed star and 'necklace' denotes an ornament worn at the throat, so a learner who knows both words will infer it is a necklace featuring a pentagram. This literal noun+noun combination follows common cross-linguistic modification patterns and is therefore immediately understandable.

Etymology

Pentagram necklace is a necklace with a five-pointed star known as a pentagram, and it may come from the old idea that this star brings 'protection' or shows a person's 'faith'. So people wear a pentagram necklace today to show their beliefs or to feel protected.
