unusual item

I picked up this item this past weekend at the flea market.

See it there in the middle of the pile, the glass loop with the metal thing attached.
here is a picture of several that I found on the web. They were used on Electrical wiring in some way in the past.

Well I didn't know exactly what I would do with it, but I got it anyway.
Now I wish I'd picked up more.
They make a great addition to a necklace,

you could even hang more items from below it. Pull it up high on the neck for a great statement.

Or what about as a napkin ring

What a great item, If I find more I'll be picking them up..

More Ideas, What about Christmas ornaments, maybe several in a row. DH has some ideas, "Really heavy earrings, Angel Halo, Pony Tail Holder, and one I will not mention, Toe Ring. Put a washer and bolt through it to make it a drawer pull knob.
or what about Curtain rings?? , Ceiling fan Pull, Several stacked would make a candle holder"
He's on a roll....
If you know where to find some, be sure to let me know.
