The earrings are each composed of a gold wire hoop with a short chain from which is suspended a circular bezel inlaid with turquoise glass. Beneath this are two small pearl pendants flanking a central gold teardrop shaped bead with a pearl and tear-drop shaped amethyst pendant below. The earrings are stable and wearable. Some of the pearls have been replaced and the ancient Roman glass inlays may have been reset. Modern hooks may be added on request.
