Two gold charm cases shaped like diamonds are densely inlaid with turquoise stones. A circular medallion centers each case, containing concentric rings of red, blue, and clear gemstones. Intricate gold wirework frames floral motifs across the surface, punctuated by small rubies. Large clear stones and blue accents occupy the four inner corners, and a border of tiny gold beads lines the edges. The pair is set against a dark background.
