Default What is this?

Not sure if this is old or new? Thought it was a pretty piece! Can you give me any information on what it use to be?
Has same 2 holes on other side of item.
Read a 16-foil, signal never changed on my DFX...very heavy for foil...What could it be made of if not foil, Not a metal expert here! lol!
Thanks for any help Pappy!

Pat

To me it looks to be a piece or charm to an old "slide Bracelet". Due to the location of the holes at each end. How about anyone else?

Default Link Bracelet

PAT, I agree with Pete in that it appears to be brass. It looks to me to have been a portion of a link bracelet at one time.Appears old but there is no way I can tell you how old....PAPPY

Default Bracelet Link

PAT, even though it is brass I think it may have been coated with chrome or Gold plating at one time...PAPPY

Pappy I can see some gold coloring. I might try and clean it with some jewelry cleaner to see if it cleans up any! Thought it was just some kind of costume jewelry! It is a very pretty piece, the pic doesn't do it justice!
