It wold be one half of a frame for a pair of clips. I agree with the marks the others saw!
I believe the screw tops aren't both original. One has a flat "pad" on the part that touches the ear and the other has a ball shape. But I'd keep...
I have a ring of the same design, only a red stone, definitely Mexican like JA said! Nice design! I always found the ball on the back curious....

Great picture jasper pendant! I'd wear that!
I'll try it, thanks! But, I am not cleaning up the poop! Done enough of that this week already!:yuck:
