A gold pendant set with red rubies and green emeralds features a teardrop-shaped base and a scalloped upper section. At the base's center sits a large oval emerald encircled by rubies. A vertical string of six pearls and green beads connects to a filigree gold loop at the top. Numerous pearls paired with tiny green beads dangle like fringe from the ornate gold framework along the bottom and side edges.
