A pair of creamy-white travertine ear studs features two polished, rounded disks stacked together. The front stone is a smooth, lustrous dome with faint gray mottling across its surface. Tucked behind and slightly to the right is a second, thinner and flatter disk, revealing small red markings along its edge. Both pieces possess a highly polished finish, creating a minimalist composition of organic stone shapes against a soft gray backdrop.
