A matched pair of multi-tiered chandelier earrings in the traditional South Asian jhumka style. The earrings are crafted from yellow gold-toned metal with a textured, openwork design. The circular top studs and three graduating bell-shaped tiers are decorated with multi-coloured circular inlays in shades of red, green, blue, and white, resembling Meenakari enamel or glass paste. Each tier and the top stud are fringed with small, white, teardrop-shaped faux-pearl beads suspended from gold-toned fluted caps. The earrings feature post backings secured with large, circular gold-toned friction clutches to support the weight of the drops.
