The black enamel oval is decorated with a stunning floral display set with rose cut diamonds that have the wonderful low light twinkle and glint of the old rose cuts.
The tendrils take on a naturalist form with lead finials and is it has a small gold leaf to the base between the centre and the knot, there was one on the other side but this is not present any longer.
