      From what I can see, the little stones are marcasites. The stamp is probably '800' for the fineness of the silver. Dates to 1940s/50s.

      The cameo is molded resin, not carved shell. The little squared off wings are usually associated with Psyche, although I'm not sure that was the idea here.
