A gold-colored metal button shaped like a rounded globe features swirling bands of black enamel radiating from a central cluster. Round and oval turquoise stones in light blue-green are set within these bands, outlined by twisted gold wire. These stones and raised metalwork create a spiraling, three-dimensional pattern across the spherical surface. The design curls outward, contrasting dark enamel against bright gold and protruding mineral elements.
