Thank you I've only just realised that it has a clasp at the back where I can thread a chain through and wear it as a necklace

Mum was given these (and more that have been lost over the years and that i havent attached here) By an old time film star who lived in the apartment next to mum when mum lived in Brentwood / Hollywood.
When the lady passed away, mum was given her jewelry.
Its nearly all real crystal and after cleaning them inscriptions became clear saying "Austria" "Holly..." "1957"

What are the brooches with faces on them called?

I love snake jewelry which is odd because I am terrified of snakes in real life. #212 is exquisite.
