It looks to be a piece of victorian costume jewelry. I have several pieces I have dug up over the years. Most has some type of flower and vine motif as yours does.
Hi McDave, It being thin copper,makes it very lightweight, which to me points to it being a Scarff or Shawl buckle /clasp.,Being light weight it would have served to control/join a flimsy lightweight schawl or scarff about the lady's neck/wherever and the thin copper buckle could be seen while not hindering the garment with un-needed weight.HH, Charlie
