    I recently purchased this piece since I've never seen anything like it. It seems like the front of a necklace perhaps, but did not come with any chain.
    It seems to have age, though how much I can't tell.
    I believe it's brass, good heavy weight.
    The front in each oval seems to either be a resin material or glass? Sort of multi color and the biggest has something else, amber color like but certainly not amber.
    Was wondering if anyone may know a little more about the piece!

      The OP may not be active anymore, but to anyone else: This is a (piece of a) 1970s necklace from Greece made by a collective of jewelers to be sold to the hippie tourists: https://www.etsy.com/nl/shop/VdeB?ref=l2-shop-info-avatar

      The above Etsy store specializes in this type of jewelry and has done the research on it. I can verify they're from Greece, as I've seen one or two pieces that still had the "Made in Greece" sticker on them. And with that design, I'm not doubting a 1970s timeframe either.

      This type of jewelry (I know there's necklaces, bracelets, and earrings) are primarily made from brass and a glittery resin that I've yet to see captured well on photo. It's mesmerizing in person. A few pieces also have beads in silver tone, but I don't know what metal that is.

      Most necklaces are ring-like - a solid piece of metal to go around the neck, with the clasp usually on the side, but a few are chains. I don't know what the missing part of this necklace was, but I'm inclined to think it was a chain.
