We usually refer to your first one as a coat tail weight. They were also used on curtains. They can go back to before the civil war. Your second item looks to be a ladies broach. Don't know about the last item.

The last one might be a large earring

That's what I was thinking too, looks like an earring post on the back to me.

You guys are right. It shows it better in the picture then my old eyes see it in real life. It never dawned on me that the post was bent...LOL
