I'm not an expert but they appear to be Byzantine coins such as this N#464918 (or reproductions), not costume jewelry. I would suggest you post front and back of each one together with the weight and diameter so they can more easily be identified.

Great numismatic term in that listing:

Nimbate (adj.) means having or being surrounded by a nimbus or halo, a radiant circle of light often used in art to signify divinity, holiness, or nobility, appearing on figures like Christ, saints, or rulers, especially in religious art, Byzantine seals, and ancient coins. It's a descriptive term for figures adorned with this divine aura, making it popular in numismatics (coin collecting) and art history for describing haloed depictions.
