Each stud is composed of a sheet disk centered by a rosette. There is a central dome filled with minute granulation, framed by eight spheres each set within a sheet calyx, all enclosed by three concentric ornamental bands divided by filigree twisted wires. The reverse has a fluted dome centered by a hollow tube terminating in a loop. They beautifully illustrate the prowess of Etruscan jewelers who were unrivalled in terms of the quality of their filigree and granulation work.
