Each ring consists of a hoop made of two pieces of plain wire, which are doubled, curved to semi-circular form and interlocked in a Heracles knot that is decorated with four globules, while the free ends are squeezed and welded together into a hook and a loop connecting the two parts of the hoop. Along the middle of the hoop thus formed runs a spool wire. The ends of the wire are turned out and curved into a pair of loops at the points where the doubled parts of the plain wires meet to form the loop and the hook.
