The urn boasts a lovely brushed surface, while a soft, gilded embellishment graces the curved handles and neck, creating a subtle two-tone appeal. The chain link that connects the urn to the domed topper allows the earrings to dangle with lovely movement. Resting at the back of the surmount is a simple earring post and back, with one stamped "925" beside a "DY" maker's mark. Stamped on the back of the urn is a hallmark, and three decorative cut-outs that reveal its hollow design, making them lightweight and comfortable to wear. Perfect day or night, these incredible earring would make a fabulous statement when worn!
