She alos has several gemstone rings which include a ruby on the four fingers of her right hand, a gold wedding ring on her left and a chained gold and gemstone bracelet on her left wrist which hangs down past her hand and on to the black parasol she is holding in her left hand.

Her dress is sleeveless and low cut at the chest with a gold colored satin accent that starts at the chest edge and goes off to her left and the side to her waist, creating a flare effect.

The main portion of the dress comes in two parts with a base white layer on which a sheer embroidered black layer fits on top with white speckles; with pink, white, green, and orange flowers accenting the left side of the dress from the shoulder strap down to her thigh; and on the right from the calf area almost to the floor.
