They are joined by a black vine (stems are also black) and from it extends angled leaves, with the exception of two stems with green rounds. At the flowers' centers are metal pieces and metallic thread laces through the stems. The edges have a silver metallic, evenly spaced, twisted fringe. At the end of the fringe are metallic sequins.
