Four of the jade panels are rectangular and worn around the neck interlinked by the diamond chains. In the center is a small lonzenge shaped diamond from which the main pendant falls.

The rubies are of different shapes - four-sided, heart-shaped, oval - and each is engraved with leaf carvings. There are two large diamond buckles - one each at shoulder-bone level - and a clasp at the back of the necklace also set in diamonds.

Large, whimsical, bow tie-shaped brooch in contrasting colors. A rectangular, blue lapis lazuli forms the center of a symmetrical pattern of pointed arches of green jade, semicircular and arc-shaped red coral, and a black onyx background. Fine lines of platinum-set pave’ diamonds outline the brooch and also the lapis and jade. The carved semiprecious stones have a shiny smooth surface but are opaque, which enhances the impression of bold color contrast. The jade and the onyx are finely paneled along lines that remind of the fabric folds and the curved shape of a bow tie.

An asymmetrical pair of multicolored 'Tutti Frutti' earrings in the shape of curving swags, similar to a pair of boots turned outward and comprised of carved emeralds, sapphires, and rubies. Scrolling diamond volutes punctuate each end, while geometric gems and cabochons are irregularly assembled on both pieces. Both earrings feature a round emerald with a diamond in the center, placed near the top. The earring on the viewer's left feature additional gemstones and in particular, the blue sapphire and pinkish red ruby. The latter appears in a somewhat floral shape along the bottom left side of the piece. The earring on the right features additional diamonds cut in an irregular, diagonal aspect as well as a small and especially dark sapphire near the bottom corner. At the bottom of each swag are four rectangular diamonds placed side by side along a slight curve.

This necklace is made up of eight distinct pieces, each of a different color. All of the pieces are amorphous in shape except for the one on the bottom, which is pale green and made to look like a cluster of three leaves. Five of the designs are of unidentifiable media. Of the remaining three, one is wood, one is metal and one is a dark brown carved nut or seed. The pearls attached to the end of each piece separate the elements and hold the necklace together.
