Help Identify What Type of Jewelry This Is
These rhinestone bows have an interesting back that I don't know exactly what it is. Some type of screw or something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

That fastener is called a Chicago screw.
I've never seen that on jewelry before. I've usually seen it on horse equipment or harness, but those bows don't like like anything that would be on horse harness.
These bows look like they could be shoe ornaments.

OP2 years agoThanks for the information about the Chicago screw that definitely helps. I was sort of thinking along the lines of something to do with shoes as well. I appreciate your help (as well as the other poster that replied).

·2 years agoInteresting backs. I think they might be vintage shoe clips. 1950s.
