A gold earring shaped like a tiered flower features a faceted deep red ruby at its center, encircled by two rings of smaller rubies set in textured gold mounts. These gems resemble overlapping petals, resting before a flat gold disk with a serrated border. To our right, a stylized mark is engraved on the disk's surface. The piece sits angled against a neutral backdrop, showcasing its construction and brilliant gems.
