Gold earrings with a granulated design. Two earrings are shown, side by side. Each earring has a loop at the top that curves backward and a bulbous bottom. The bottom of each earring is decorated with small bumps and a raised design on the front. The earrings are gold-colored and have a textured surface. They are sitting on a gray surface, with a gradient background that goes from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
