Can you see any markings at all? The dark stones are marcasite & not hugely valuable, so it would make me think this is costume jewellery rather than fine jewellery.

I agree - barring any markings to the contrary, this looks to me like costume jewelry. However, horse-and-carriage jewelry seems to have been “a thing” at some point, if the many similar pins that show up in a google search are any indication. So there might be a collector out there who’d love to add your pin to her collection!

Yes, it’s costume jewellery. It looks “vintage” if the movement is manual ie wind up it would be 1950s / 1970s but if a quartz watch, it is likely to be later.
If the watch is a manual wind and working well, similar vintage watches sell for around $70 (more collectible) however If a quartz movement and working maybe $20.
If the watch movement isn’t working you will have difficultly selling it as a repair would cost more than the watch could sell for.
