This ornate piece is a beautiful example of traditional Temple Jewelry, often worn as a statement earring for cultural events and weddings. It is crafted in a rich, oxidized or antique gold tone and features a two-part design. The top element is a circular stud with a detailed, stylized floral or mythic carving.

The dangle section features a central, highly sculptural representation of a seated Goddess (likely Laxmi) in an ornate archway. Below the deity, a small, square or rectangular ruby-red stone is set, adding a touch of color. The lower border of the earring is decorated with a beautiful fringe of drops: alternating small, white simulated pearls and larger, smooth, spherical pale mint or jade green beads. The complex design and rich blend of metalwork and beadwork give this earring a grand, heirloom quality. It is displayed on a luxurious, patterned deep burgundy fabric.
