Please add some additional information before anyone will stick their neck out and give a photo ID.
Are the stones translucent? If there isn't a closed back, has it been polished? Can you shine a torch through from the back and perhaps note any inclusions, color banding, fractures etc? Could you get a distant vision reading on a refractometer? Any results with a spectrometer? The metal looks like tarnished silver, is it? Are there any hallmarks or makers marks? The metal or maker can sometimes backup a stone ID. There are a bunch of observational steps that are needed in order to narrow things down.
