They are shaped like a "V" with the bottom pointed end split into two parts that curve outward, then inward toward the top. The pieces have a decorative design with floral patterns and filigree work. The top of each piece has a small ring and a decorative element with a loop and three small balls. The bottom of each piece has a larger ring and a decorative element with a cone-shaped piece and a flower-like design. The background is a light gray color.
