The disk is surrounded with a hair knit. In its bumped part, there are granule ornaments on the three bow - shaped wires. In the middle, there is a large spherical granule.

The inverse mould on the upper part attached to a simple ring and the internal sides of the round and golden plates at the lower side are enhanced with colour stones and granules. There are three large, round stones in a shape of a heart and one round, large stone in a sphere. The stones are green, wine and red coloured. There is one row of granule around each of the large, round plate and the stone inside it. Other pendulums should be attached to three small hooks placed in the perimetre. In addition, there are glass beads at the end of the wires attached to the small hooks and there are spheres made of granules at the lowest part.

It is an earring with a ring having a disk. The perimetre of the disk is grooved. A bust made on onyx is placed in the golden slot in the middle of it.

In addition, the perimetre of the flat disk is surrounded with grooved filigree and there is a single granule in the middle.

It is an earring in simple disk ring type. The ends are closed being passed through each other. There is a disk on the ring so as to stand in the front having the dimensions of a lentil. Furthermore, a big grena attached to a thin golden wire is the pendulum of the earring. This pendulum gives the appearance to think that it was attached to the earring later. In this case, it is included in the type of ring having a ring with disk and pendulum.

Massive and thick ring thins towards the ends and is passed through the loop and sphere ended hook. One small brass - headed stud is mounted to the lower side of the disk and two small brass - headed studs are mounted to the upper side of it.
