A silver gilt earring features a circular wire hoop above a filigree crescent base inset with three gems. Three strands of gold beads and pearls dangle below. In the center, the longest strand anchors a large, translucent purple stone. Shorter strands flank it, one holding a green stone and the other a red stone. Smaller pearls and gold wirework encircle the gems, finishing in tapered points of white pearls.
