A silver necklace features a thin yellow cord supporting fourteen circular coins with raised script, seven per side. At the base hangs a large, heart-shaped pendant ornamented with intricate wirework loops and a central diamond-shaped boss. Numerous silver dangles, including fluted bells and spherical clusters, hang from the base of the pendant and between the lowest coins, creating a dense, textured fringe at the bottom of the loop.
