This necklace is made of silver, covered with dense, overlapping rows of hammered, flattened feather-like steel nails. There is a row of small, gold pod forms along inner edge, and for the clasp, it is large and covered by roughly square pale rose mother-of-pearl with gold fastenings. Although made of metal, the necklace gives the appearance of dark, slender feathers, with the inner collar dense with dark gold clasps, where the pods and steel nails are attached.
