Physical description
Each earring has a large wire hoop, thickening towards its base and simulating diagonally coiled wire. The front of each earring is a thin, gold shield-shape, convex in front, with three coiled-wire volutes applied to its base. From the twisted-wire hoop hang seven gold balls, resembling a bunch of grapes. Each gold ball has a tiny granulated pendant from it, also resembling a miniature grape cluster.
