Between the ovals and the leaf sprays is a band of circles made of perles. The top of the edging has delicate sprays of small flowers that dip up and down and join between the ovals and leaves in a cluster of larger flowers. The bottom of the edging is composed of five leaves pointing down with a flower between each.
