Hanging from the main part is a bow inset with more clear stones. Hanging from the bow is a small tear drop shaped ballooning scene, also surrounded with inset clear stones. Hanging from that is another bow, and then another tear drop shaped ballooning scene. There is a hook on the back of the last pendant, probably for securing while being worn.
