A cream-colored travertine ear stud resembles a smooth, polished dome resting upon a flat, circular base. Subtle tan and light brown streaks cut through the lower edge of the mottled stone, while a single dark brown spot marks the center of its rounded peak. Though finely finished, natural stony pits and textures remain visible across the surface, its form sloping gently downward to the base.
