Two gold studs feature faceted rubies in a floral arrangement. A central gem sits elevated, encircled by six rubies held within scalloped gold prongs. From a profile view, the settings rise in a tiered dome atop a thick cylindrical post. The post terminates in a flat disk with a serrated edge. The gold surfaces are finely detailed, supporting the brilliant red stones in a layered, crown-like structure.
