Maybe a purse buckle of some type? and the other is definitely a nickel.

Looks like 1/2 of a sash buckle.

I can remember as a little boy that my brother and I each got something like what you have in your picture from our parents were traveling through New Mexico ? The narrow end was the top and the wide end was the bottom. The larger sections on the front was turquoise with the thin bands being silver or silver color. They were used in this type of rope neck tie. May not be what you have, but looks an awfully lot like them. The hook went over the top button and in between the collars. This was the closest thing I could find that could give you a visual image of what it may be.

That is called a bolo tie and I think you are right it does resemble part of a bolo tie.

Yup.. I agree! It would have looked similar to this one:

I agree with doublet2a and Creskol... the other half could be near by.
Somthing about these sash buckles get to me, you rarely see two of the same, and they are incredibly ornate, I think yours could clean up and show more detail. Great dig
