Default Old Silver Jewlery

Hey There OLD PAPPY. Here is some photos of some sort of old silver jewlery I found at a demo site of an old Church. I have shown it to many people and most people think it is a ring or part of a ring, but I don't think so. Take a look, any help would be appreciated.

Gary

I think your friends are correct. Can you give me some dimensions on the item? Does it appears to have a copper base to it or all Silver. Appears to be a handworked Silver Ring to me. Are the ends soft enough to repair?

Dimms of the item are .600 long .375 wide and .250 thick at the thickest part just before the ring prongs and it appears to all silver, no copper base. The sliver seems to soft enough to repair.

Nice Find!!! I agree wiyh PAPPY! Looks to be an old handcrafted art deco styled ring.The hallmarks are probably under the flatened ends The stones are staked in with a bezel type set.
