    Beautiful. It is a Qing dynasty amulet necklace, probably middle to late 19th century.
    The stones in the necklace look like coral, which they usually are, and the stones in the dangles are carnelian. Both stones are thought to have protective qualities and be beneficial to the health, particularly of women.
    The little guy could be intended as a little boy, to ensure the wearer would get sons. Wealthy sons, since he is standing on an ingot.
    Here is a Qing dynasty baby boy amulet charm:

    Boys often wore pig-shaped hats and shoes, so evil spirits would think they were pigs and leave them alone. A boy amulet with a pig snout, if that is what it is, could have the same intention. The shape of the nose could just be a rather unfortunate coincidence, not intended as a pig's snout.
    The boy has shou symbols on his jacket, for longevity.
    The other symbols are butterflies, again for long life but this time for the wearer, and also for warmth and joy, and endless knots for eternity.
