Interesting Youngtug, but your examples seem to be badges to be worn - i.e. smaller than the large cross hanging by the woman's side. (I think the second example is closest in shape.)
Someone mentioned chatelaine - I wondered if it might be big enough to carry bits and pieces required on her duties - odd shape though, unless the main vertical part is a pocket and the side arms are just for show that she belongs to a particular hospital, and they wear a similar shaped badge. (- - if you follow my drift)

The cross in the second link is quite close but it has a crown on the top unlike the one in my photo. I mentioned that she was wearing a chatelaine in my first post.
Thanks for your thoughts and your interest Wiggy....it all helps to narrow down the possibilities when people offer their suggestions.
