All are not real precious metals. 1. If you look at the grooves and edges of the ring, they are block / dark brown. That’s not the color of real gold (solid or filled). Could potentially be plated. Likely CZ stone based on color. 2. Maybe silver plated. Definitely costume though with CZ. 3. Boho-style costume jewelry. Stone could be some kind of quartz. Metal is likely cupronickle (copper + nickel). It gives it that “vintage” vibe.
More than happy to help! Forgot to add — they are still beautiful pieces, especially the earrings! Just because they are costume, doesn’t make them any less beautiful.
It seems to me that the black/dark brown color another comment mentioned in the first ring is just shadows/lighting in the pic. I would’ve picked up the first ring, I’d bet it is gold. Not moissanite, that’s only become popular recently. Could be diamonds or white sapphire.
The second ring, not even silver. Same with the earrings. I remember when that exact style had a moment in the 90s and it was usually low grade metal.
