A circular silver earring features a wire hoop wrapped in coiled sections, with a floral plate and an opening at the top left. Along its lower curve, teardrop-shaped plates with raised dots support a dense, tiered fringe. This cluster consists of numerous pendants, each featuring coiled wire terminating in a rounded bead. The result is a highly textured ornament where the delicate upper wire contrasts with the heavy, rhythmic movement of the fringe.
