The ends of a simple ring are closed with a loop and a hook. Its moving pendulums are different from each other. For this reason, the originality of the pair is doubted. The two ends of the first pendulum, which is cornered, multi - edged, long and in the form of a conic pipe, are surrounded with grooved filigreed. A flat golden wire passing through it expands in the upper part and forms a wide handle attached to the hook. A blue bead seen under the pendulum is attached to the wire and the end of the wire is twisted and closed. The other pendulum is cylindrical, partly crushed and its upper side is a granule. The same type of a bead is attached to the end of this pendulum. This pendulum may belong to another earring ring, since it is an opus that is purchased and the loop and hook connection's interlocking places have been opened and closed.
