I have one similar, different person, and I was told its a mourning pin. I looked them up a few years ago and believe that's right. Hope it helps.
It is a photographic pin or brooch. These were popular in the late 19th/ 20th century.
They were another "add on" item that photographers hawked to those visiting their studio. I wouldn't consider it an exclusive mourning item, although it certainly could be used to honor a departed relative.
