Mounted faceted gemstone ring
Likely diamond (carbon, C), though the image is insufficient for definitive identification
Cherry Quartz
SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide with iron-rich inclusions/dye)
Small gold-colored jewelry piece with clear stones
Likely a metal setting holding small faceted gemstones; the stones cannot be identified from the image.
Diamond (or Cubic Zirconia)
Carbon (C) or Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)
