Thats an interesting one - the holes look like they are there to be sewn onto something. With the receiving hoop - I would take a guess at being the receiving end of a hooked Tudor tag. Certainly looks to be silver.

Hope that helps

i've recently recorded a slightly similar shape, but whether it had the same purpose, i'm not sure.

It could have been a brooch and a pendant combined. Popular, I believe, late 1800's onwards. But don't quote me.
