Description

Two matching pieces of jewellery lie side by side on a plain light background. Each has a large dark domed stone or glass cabochon at the top, edged with twisted wire. Below, a rectangular metal plate has two vertical rows of twisted wire between rows of rounded knobs, and small beads hang from the bottom; the right-hand piece sits slightly higher.
