1870's & probably early decade as the back doesn't have the fussiness of the later cards.
She's wearing a love chain. Traditionally made from a single piece of wood & given to one's intended.
She looks a bit young for any of that nonsense, probably no more than 16.

I wondered if that was a love chain.

Here's a McAllan photograph I posted a few years ago where the sitter is wearing a love chain.

The chaise and urn also appear in this Gibson photograph  :D http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=667981.msg5130646#msg5130646
