The image shows a pair of earrings titled "Earrings" by an unidentified artist. The earrings are circular and made of copper-colored metal. The earrings have a green gemstone in the center. The green gemstones are octagonal and surrounded by a circle of small white pearls and gold beads. The metal findings are gold-colored. The earrings are on a white surface with a white string behind them. The string appears to be attached to the top of each earring.
