Looking at the pendant and seeing the texture on the back I would guess the stone is glass, not amethyst because the metal looks costume. Very...

The way her eyes are painted with black lines top and bottom made me think Egyptian.
What is it you want to know? I can tell you it's an Art Nouveau watch pin with Egyptian influence. It's a shame the enamel is damaged. Also it...
