Looks nice but I have no idea what it represents

Looks as those little containers to keep a cicada in, keeping as kind of as a pet that make a special sound.
I by the way just outside in the road found a dead cicada, they’re not common here in this part of China I live in now, but up in Dalian I lived before they are plenty, often attach themselves on the mosquito net window covers playing their melodies

On another thought, the item look a little too small to be such a container I mention, it actually just looks as a charm to attach on for example a hand/shoulder bag or other items.
Since cicadas are plenty in China and have their special looks and I’ll guess they’re symbolize long life they are liked to be model for such items as shown in pic

In the southern USA Cicada's have fully molted and are LOUD, especially at night. At our house usually you can easily hear tree frogs and owls at night but this year all you hear is the drone of Cicada tymbals. It is loud enough you have to raise your voice in the back yard.
