The stones vary in hue from bright green to teal and are individually set within serrated bezels. The design is embellished with wire-work borders and decorative silver beads, commonly known as raindrops. A simple wire bail is attached to the top for suspension; no chain is included. The reverse of the pendant is unhallmarked and exhibits a heavy, dark patina with irregular surface scratches. 1.75 inches (H) including bail x 1 inch (W).
