Very cool find.....It looked like a kerchief ring to me at first. Let us know if you find the missing piece.

All I can say is that PBK is the Man.

He ID'ed this Victorian Buckle for me. It sort of looks like yours. This is a before and after tumbling picture and an edited picture of what PBK said it would have looked like. The buckle even had a piece of broken glass that was trapped in the back.
