A silver necklace forms a dense, circular ring composed of bulbous, bell-shaped ornaments. Each bell features a rounded body and a raised, ridged edge around its base. Small circular loops interconnect the components in thick, overlapping layers, creating a heavily textured surface. Muted gray metal is punctuated by dark patches of oxidation nestled within the deep crevices between the bells.
