thanks, didn't even think of that really. I will look into that

It may even be some form a hair barrette that the loop has been flattened slightly.

apparently the loop is flat, he does work on watches so if he says its flat I believe him. I am thinking either scarf or sash buckle type thing

Interesting piece that there appears to be a hole(?) on the reverse side that you can see the head through. That makes me wonder if 2 different pieces of jewelry were combined into one. Plus I wonder if the ring is original. If so, I'd think it would have to be worn out of sight.
