A small loop is at the bottom of each hoop, from which a ball and cone shaped ornament hangs. The ornament is made of gold-colored metal and has a large ball at the bottom, a smaller cone shape above the ball, and three small balls at the bottom of the cone. The earrings are attached to purple and white strings. The background is a plain gray surface.
