Two open silver hoops form a pair of earrings, each adorned with nine radiating, tapered spikes. These spikes, finished with rounded tips and textured horizontal ridges, are flanked at their bases by twin spheres. The metallic gray surface carries a soft, matte patina, catching the light across its granular details. The two earrings sit side by side, their identical forms displaying subtle variations of age.
