I'm not sure that they are stones if they are they little bitty I thought it just might be a stamping of some kind but if it is stones they look like they might be rhinestones. I bought that ring years ago can't even remember where I got it and it got too little for my husband, so he put it away and I just found it the other day. I clean it the best I could but it will probably need professional cleaning. It is a pretty ring thou.
