The necklace, which would have been worn by a married woman, consists of 32 mango-shaped units and a large central openwork element, threaded on four lengths of gold chain. Each unit is attached to small six-petalled rosettes. The tips of the mango-shaped elements are set on the front with a cabochon ruby and point outwards on each side of the necklace. Between each of the units is a spacer designed to fit the interstices. At the centre of the openwork element is an eight-petalled rosette from which symmetrical scrolls of buds and foliage issue. Clusters of ruby and pearls are attached to its lower edge. The hinge-and-clasp elements are attached to two openwork ruby- and emerald-set S-scrolls. These appear as addorsed birds when the clasp is closed.
