The main body is set with multiple cabochon-cut dark blue glass stones. A complex dangle is attached, featuring small blue glass beads and enameled butterfly elements. The second item is a necklace assembly. It features an oval-shaped pendant inset with a raised, carved pale yellow or white hardstone depicting a mythological creature, possibly a Qilin.
