It is difficult to describe but there are a total of nine cabochon drop elements. Each drop element has a mix of small and large stones. Visualize a line descending from a diamond on the bottom edge moving to a smaller cabochon then the next in line is what appears to be several diamonds closely set to create a vertical rectangle link which connects with the larger terminal cabochon. As the drop elements move from the left to the centre drop element and from the right to the centre drop element, the terminal cabochons get larger. The central drop element is unique. From the diamond which is part of the bottom fringe we have from top to bottom: medium diamond, small diamond, larger medium diamond, platinum link, vertically set rectangular cabochon, vertical rectangular diamond, terminal large and largest cabochon.
