A silver gilt earring features a wire hoop above a crescent base topped with an intricate wire fan. Three red and green gems set into the crescent anchor four wire strands. Threaded with irregular pearls and gold beads, the strands terminate in large pink and green stones. Clusters of smaller pearls surround these focal gems. The longest center strand ends in a large white pearl capped with a cluster of gold granules.
