Since it has 2 links for a connection, it was probably part of a Victorian chatelaine. Some chatelaines had single attachments and some had double.

Here's a website that will give you a little history on the chatelaine.

Good link, the PAS can be hit & miss with dates but 17th-18th C is about right, I would lean towards 18th though.

No the UKDFD is indepenant & not Govt lead. It IDs stuff less than 300 years old. The PAS (which this is) is Govt backed & doesn't ID 'modern' stuff.

 

[Silver Searcher]

The UKFD dates finds from Paleolithic-Neolithic right up to the Victorian/Edwardian Period, which is more relavent/usefull to US finds.

This find is under Sword-Belt and Scabard Fittings, and is known as a Hooked Oval Mount, and is Dated to the 17th Century or 1600's. These fittings come in different shapes/designs some are decorated, this one how ever is a bit special because it has a trefoil-shaped copper-alloy fitting suspended from the hook, so is known as a Hooked Mount with Pendant Fitting ...a very nice early find for your side of the pond.
