The single anklet (paizeb) is crafted from gold and composed of eighteen octagonal panels each with a kundan set octagonal shaped emerald inset with a diamond framed in gold in the center. A single leaf set with a ruby projects from one side from which is suspended a pearl. A loop at the bottom suspends and
inverted lotus flower with a diamond in the middle surrounded by blue enamel and two ruby-set petals on either side and with three sets of pearls hanging
below. The panel is surmounted with a pearl set in a gold cup. It is likely that the piece was originally a necklace and a portion was later adapted to a bracelet.  The clasp is modern.
