A silver nose ring consists of a thin hoop joined to a wide, ornamental panel. Three central diamonds housing star-like blossoms are bordered by rows of small vertical posts with flat, circular caps. Textured, cone-shaped pieces connect the panel to the hoop on either end. The tarnished silver surface has a dull, aged finish that highlights the wear and dark discoloration across its intricate geometric shapes.
