To ask for help with these vintage shoes

I've bought a pair of lovely vintage shoes. The front have a gold rose that is fixed on by a popper. Clearly they were meant to have interchangeable things all on a popper.
I've lost one of the roses but I cannot even find what to Google to get a set to replace (interested in other designs doesn't have to be a rose)
Google brings up shoe clips. It is definitely not these and these will not work as the popper in further down than the clip would reach.
What would interchangeable decorations on a popper be called? And where might I find them? I may otherwise be forced to make something I suppose all help gratefully received

Picture would help but I would find or make a trim you like - maybe from shoe clips or a grosgrain bow, and glue it on with a glue gun.

If you find something with a popper the right size - babygro, anything you could cut round a couple and sew them to the bottom of your chosen trim.

I'm rubbish at links but Google
Press stud shoe roses and see if they're the kind of thing.

Is it his type of thing?

Get some clips you like and glue a press stud to the back. Cut the jaw off the clip first - most, you can just prise it off.

Reminds me of the shoe-roses in Pride and Prejudice!

Thanks for all the links and ideas. I was hoping there were lots of different ones online ready made for me to buy but looks like I'll have to make some new shoe ornaments by buying things and sewing or glueing poppers on.
