Hello I’ve just rediscovered this pair of what I thought was earrings but can’t work out why one end comes off. Trying to work out what they are, they look like silver,

I think that or dumbbells for a flea circus And
please don’t say I am the dumbbell :)
Nipples.
Thanks Vynil & vet, nipples lol they most probably are as I can’t think of anything else either
I have some of a similar type dumbell. They are used to go through shaped drop in glass panels on a chandelier from the 1930s. One end sits in a slit in the center frame and the more narrow end towards the outside. The shaft fits through a hole in and prevents the finlike glass panel from going further down. Have pix but do not see a method for attaching. I have the parts spread out in a closet so i cannot describe more fully.
