The group features a green rhinestone-encrusted cocktail ring in a beehive style, alongside various earrings such as gold-toned hoops and green plastic clip-ons. Two Pandora-style charm bracelets are included, one in a rose gold-toned finish and another in a silver-toned finish with purple floral glass beads, as well as a multi-strand black faceted bead bracelet.

A small rectangular box with a tortoiseshell-effect finish is included, the base of which is marked C. M. HODGE. Materials include base metals, glass, plastic, and composite materials.
