    No idea what they are, a mark on them but strangely a hole on the others where the mark should be
    Many thanks Allan

    The mark is a French maker's mark.
    They look flexible, and you could probably wear them on a woman's wrist (European wrist;)), so I think bracelets.

    Makes sense, Im in the UK , and a few items seem to be European , I am wondering if this some kind of box that may have come from an house clearance . Some of the items appear quite old and personnel

    You don't provide measurements, but I like Roaring's suggestion of napkin rings. I think the curled end facing in would be uncomfortable on a wrist (if you found one small enough). Another possibility might be a type of spring-clip earrings. But again - ouch.

    Astounding Allan-That's 41 Postings in 2 1/2 days, what a pile you got w/ your coins -You've run the table Mate !
    I'd love to see a group photo of the entire trove and the box (or chest) it was stuffed into.
    PS-Was this an online find,estate or something else ? You may have said somewhere else in this narrative.

    Me too. Sometimes a group photo can provide information about individual pieces.

    This was another picture with the lot, I paid less than £70, May have been one of my better decisions

    So someone did some traveling. Does the date on any of the peseta bills (roughly) correspond with the Madrid 1958 charm?

    One would go back to 1920/30’s, rest 70’s onwards

    From the pictures, the springy things could easily be earrings, or were meant to be earrings. They're oversized for napkin rings and undersized for bracelets. I've worn similar.

    As for getting that whole box for 70 quid, keep your eyes open for other such "currency" lots! You literally got free money.
