DescriptionIn the center is the head of the Virgin de Guadalupe wearing a green hood and red dress. The image is covered with a round plastic piece. The Virgin is placed on a gold rosette, and on both sides of her are similar gold rosettes with green seed pearls and red beads with green emeralds. Dangling below the Virgin are four smaller gold rosettes with green jeweled centers. The rosettes on the sides each have one similar small dangling rosette. The three larger rosettes are attached to the bottom of a circular gold piece with one small rosette dangling at the top and a gold metal clasp for pierced ears.Isleta Tinsmith
