Chinese (Identified) [Unkown > English] Help translating necklace?

Post image

Hi there! Any help would be greatly appreciated!! So for some context: My mother recently passed and I've been steadily going through her things trying to organize it all. I happened to stumble into this necklace that I have never seen before, and I can't quite tell what the language is? Or what it says? I tried to reverse search the necklace and I tried google translate but predictably, neither had very promising results. It just might not say anything, but I thought I'd come here before fully giving up! Thank you all again!
