    Anyone see similar? They remind me of some kind of badge or patch, thinking a craft project...or?? From the estate with tons of Dior, etc (where those Moba earrings were purchased.) If a craft, what do you call these pieces?? Thanks!

    Maltese crosses. Closest would be bullion work, I'd say.

    I figured the bullion work for vintage Indian, as in India. Someone attached them to the clip backs and they definitely look good. Call it early 70s, late 60s.

    Might be a tad later, huge clips were an 80s thing too. The backs are really interesting.
