An earring features a central, emerald-green translucent glass bead encased in a cage of silver wires. Conical silver caps with twisted wire borders secure the bead. Above, a curved silver wire hoop is wrapped with thinner wire and adorned with a five-petaled flower. At the base, three small silver bells dangle from a loop. The aged silver displays a darkened patina, contrasting with the vibrant green glass.
