My husband says it may be of a side order but it does not appear to have any of the masonic symbols on it.
Also it is unlikely that a mason would wear a necklace as such.

Sorry I can't help more.
What does anyone else think.

Looks far more decorative rather than masonic.   It there anything on the back, if it is hallmarked the maker may have his mark on the back which can be researched.

Not Masonic but could be related to the female equivalent known as the;
'Order of the 'Eastern Star' .......... which should be 'googled' to look at any emblems available for comparison,

Hi

I suspect the 'Order of the Eastern Star' by the very nature of its name would have the emblem of the eastern star?
