A metal earring features a circular loop at the top, from which hang two small pearls: one irregular and square, the other smooth and oval. Below, three chased metal leaves with deeply etched veins fan over a translucent, faceted pink glass drop. The glass glows with soft hues of rose and lavender, while its base is secured by a tiny metal pin. The entire vertical pendant design is set against a dark background.
