    The stickpin looks like opal inlay. The cameo is a bit rough, you should have the metal tested.

    I've never seen a cameo with a native American on it

    The cameo is probably rolled gold
    Roughly late 1800s to early 19teens
    I doubt that is a Native American. More like a Greek or Roman warrior/God.

    your most likely right, but the nose had me thinking native American (no pun intended, I have a large nose too? 2019-08-06-21-02-30.jpg

    The inlay stickpin is a sweet thing. Thought the cameo might have a chipped nose but closeup says not. Looks like hardstone, extremely crudely carved. Different parts of the mount may be different metals. My first reaction was gilt brass; lack of any noticeable wear spots suggests perhaps gold filled, perhaps pinchbeck.
