The piece is distinguished by its elongated and symmetrical shape, typical of early 20th-century jewelry, with a linear structure enhanced by a central openwork motif. This central motif, slightly curved, is adorned with several faceted round rhinestones, providing luminous reflections and a precious touch to the whole.
