Victorian signed painted portrait under glass brooch with a pearl crown pendant

This 800 silver  (marked on the back) is not only a brooch but also a pendant. It is a painted portrait of a lovely young woman ( possibly royalty since this has the crown at the top) under glass. The setting has 5 genuine pearls at the top of the silver and marcasite crown. This has the most intricate rope work around the bezel and an unusual leaf or vine design at the top. This measures almost 2" tall and other than a gentle polishing and a little old glue near some of the pearls, it is in great condition. I would say this is probably early 1900's and European. It is signed on the portrait but I can't make it out. IT looks like HG or MG.
