The removable natural rock crystal globe acts as a "terrarium" to enclose the tiny frog carved of peridot with yellow gold crown atop its head. It holds small white seed pearl, which appears to be a dewdrop on the water lily. The water lily is carved of rose quartz and rests on a lily pad carved of Russian nephrite. The flower bucket carved of Kalahari jasper, the pattern of which is imitating wood grain, bears bands of yellow gold.
