Mystery star...Help with ID needed

Posted by Betty on April 19, 2016 at 5:25pm

This mysterious filigree ornament consists star with two button-shaped pendants adorned with two red and one green glass stones as well as a coral bead. Dimension of the star ca. 4.5cm. The beads are 1.8cm in diameter. I believe this strange ornament was sourced in Turkey. The chain quite short (34cm) and has an unusual hook closure. It somehow reminds me of a military decoration... Any ideas? More pictures below.
