The uniquely colored gemstones are set in straight edged bezels and surrounded by frames of twisted wire.
Dangling from the upper diamond shaped section of each earring are silver crosses. The crosses were delicately stamped with a series of feather-like crescents. The earrings are stamped with the artist's hallmark–EN. The earrings are equipped with posts for pierced ears.
