A spindle-shaped silver earring features a wire hook above a coiled base and a floral detail. The central body encases a translucent green bulb within vertical silver bars and horizontal bands of twisted wire. Small silver spheres dangle from delicate loops beneath a rounded cap at the base. The dark, weathered finish of the silver contrasts with the vibrant green glass, highlighting the piece's intricate construction and delicate dangling elements.
