The gold spheres are covered with delicate spikes. They are suspended from wire-wrapped hoops with gold flower-shaped ornaments at the front which house the red garnet or carnelian cabochons, and below are the beautiful green emerald inlays in rectangular bezels. At the opposite end of the hoops are pairs of gold granules (one missing on each). Both are set to modern French hooks to be wearable. Total weight: 16.7 grams.

According to Curator Sarah E. Cox, "All classes of women in the ancient world wore jewelry, which was considered both as adornment and as visible evidence of wealth.
