How about a no-frills Celtic brooch, similar to a cross-bow brooch but with exposed spring wire. Here's a pic of an original one from my collection. It was quite common, I think, and I believe reproductions of it (or something like it) are being made. I think the origin was Celtic, but I'm not sure. Someone who's an RAT brooch expert can correct me. :-)
