Chinese people - help, please! :)?

Question

(I know this question is not about food - just thought someone on here would know..:) ) My mom gave me these earrings (which I think she bought in SF'S Chinatown). I'm wondering if the little guy is a buddha, or simply a china man? Also wondering what all the symbols mean (they're the same on each side) and what is it in the middle of them?.... If anyone can tell me. :) Thank you so much!! :-D

(P.S. Please be honest - don't be uncool and make something up - It would be too obvious it was made up anyway, lol! :) )
