A silver nose ring forms an open, circular loop. One end terminates in a flat, perforated disk, while the other flattens into a small, angled tab. A series of fine, vertical notches lines the band's outer edge on the right. Dark gray tarnish and surface wear pattern the metal, creating a weathered texture that defines the piece's delicate, geometric silhouette.
