I'm not sure what the pin is. Fairy? It's marked Sterling Silver and I was recently told that the stone is oyster shell and possible era could be late 1800's.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

It's not 1800, because of that type of clasps were not made back in the 1800s.
The pictures are somewhat dark, so I can't tell for sure, but I think it might be a Balinese dancer...

I agree on clasp & Balinese.

A Siam dancer (kind of interpretation of it) ! The shell seems abalone to me.
