The design features a central stone surrounded by radiating stones on the circular top, and an elongated central stone flanked by rows of smaller stones on the oval drop, characteristic of Southwestern Native American cluster or needlepoint styles, with visible rope-like detailing around the stone settings. The reverse of both the upper and lower sections of each earring is clearly stamped "JB Sterling."
