Both are hallmarked with the French silver hallmark of the period and both pieces bear Armand-Calliat's maker's mark.
The Calix is engraved, and is set with three pointed oval fine engravings of Saints. Between each is a small round enamel with stones.

Small roundels with enamels and stones are set between these.
The cross above the Sacred Heart is set with diamonds and natural pearls; further pearls decorate the remainder of the base.
