Motif: The focal point is a gold-toned open-work rose. The "cut-out" or "hollow" design of the rose petal creates a light, airy feel rather than a heavy metal look.

• Structure: The base of the earring is a circular wreath (or halo) formed by several high-luster white pearls.

• Symbolism: The combination of a rose (love and beauty) and a wreath of pearls (purity and eternity) makes these a popular choice for romantic gifts or bridal parties.
