Default Something Silver Found Today.

Hello everyone. I hit a spot that I have hit several times before just really trying to kill a hour. I found 3 Glass Buttons on top, This buckle (Wich I have no Idea what it was for), And This silver thing. It is about 4 1/4 inches long and has a big clear stone in it stamped 925 on back, (Dime in pics is for referance only. I wonder what it was. At first I thought a silver spoon handle but it isnt broken at the end. Plus it has a little nipple of silver on the one end so I thought maybe a silver barett? Any ideas let me know. Then I hit a small school on the way home and found $1.73 in clad and this neckerchief slide.

Smile Neat silver!

It looks to me as if the silver piece is part of a necklace, probably the center piece. Imagine 2 or three chains interconnecting pieces on the left and right of this piece. No guarantee, but that is what the design looks like to me.
Really neat 925 silver. The other finds are worthwhile too. Wonder what the buckle could be for?
Happy hunting - thanks for the pictures, they are cool!
