A gold and garnet pendant centers a deep red oval stone, above which a gold hinge is flanked by two iridescent pearls. Two pearls project horizontally, the leftmost being fragmented. Below, a horizontal bar suspends four coiled gold wire tassels. Three tassels terminate in a pearl and a cluster of three small gold beads, while the third from the left lacks its pearl, revealing only the wire and gold beads.
