Fiziksel açıklama
Gilt metal crescent earring. The wire is attached to the crescent by a hinge at one end and a matching pin fastening at the other. The crescent is made from sheet metal with three fluted cones attached on each side with a blue glass bead set in the top of each cone. There are 12 spherical beads soldered round the lower edge of the crescent, each with a granule on a ring of twisted wire at its outside tip.
