With clear rhinestones resembling a comet, the tail is an open, airy web of silvertone that floats behind the main center rhinestones with five stones fanning out behind. All the stones are prong set and present. It's difficult to determine if a few of the stones are actually darkened or if it is the way the light hits them from one direction or the other.
