Description

An earring in the form of an inverted cone, with a thin wire loop soldered to the base with a bent end. The body of the earring is decorated with patterns formed by soldered wires and bead balls. The upper part of the piece near the base of the cone is adorned with "S"-shaped horizontal spirals with spherical beads at the center of each curl. The ornament is placed between two concentric rings made of twisted wire. Decorative wire elements in the form of loop, which form a six-petal rosette, are soldered onto the tapered part. The petals appear to be inserted into a miniature cylinder made of a narrow strip. This detail serves as the basis for completing the earring - a pyramid of four bead balls.
