The earrings are made by combining sheet gold and crescent-shaped granulation in a hollow design, with an inverted bud-shaped pendant suspended from it. The pendant is attached to a moveable ring that is embossed with gold granules. The clasp of the earrings is in the form of a double-crescent pattern ornamented with decorative details. The pendant drops are covered with fine granulation and have clusters of gold granules at the end. The crescent forms are hollow and filled with a solid lac or pitch.
