Gorgeous selection of filigree pieces. I wonder if the top one is another version of the star of Mogadishu?
The very right piece with the four loops puzzles me: was it part of a headdress, perhaps?
Betty the explanation of these pieces I did write, perhaps to be seen to be seen on a different click, any way, as you observed the ring is definitely another variation on the Star of Mogadishu. The round piece with the 4 bails, is an original hair ornament original worn fashion of the Bilen women. In real a definitely beauty. It is the only one I ever found,
