The two boat-shaped earrings (sometimes called 'leech shaped') are in the form of a crescent with pointed base and curved pointed corners, one corner tapering sharply into a long fine hook for passing through a pierced ear. Down the centre at each side is a vertical carination. Each earring is made in two halves which are joined, with a seam around the edge.
