I hit it on a Roman place yesterday. What may this be according to you?
1 gram and his diameter 1cm. He may have been a sphere according to me originally.
 
What is the metal? Gold? Brass? Copper?

Thank you SS!
I believe it so to a seal thin his substance.
There was a sphere possibly, his edges rounded up though.

Part of an earring?

If you look the edges are serated, it look like the bottom locked over the top, I don't think a earing would be like that, plus it looks to thin for a earing.

According to me earring, very thin, graceful. Maybe as if I would have seen a closing solution like this on Byzantine jewels, than the beer-bottle cap.

:read2:

The only outher thing I can think of regarding the bottom locking over the top piece, is that it once held a stone, and that it is a pendant. Perhaps something a bit like this one :dontknow:

I read that they put relics into the Byzantine jewels somewhere. Into a cross, a sphere. No way that this so?

I'm really not sure, the picture is hard to make out. My first thought was a pendant as well (maybe even Saxon period in our timeline), but then I do remember thin light pressed gold earrings from the Roman period. Although looking again I'm not happy it is, just not really sure what it is other than gold, at least 1000 years old & :dontknow:
