A gold earring features an oval frame containing three empty circular settings hanging from a hook. Below, two white pearls flank a central hinge. An ornate gold element shaped like a leaf and flower dangles underneath, supporting a large, irregular drop of translucent green glass. The base of the green glass is finished with a small, textured gold cap.
