No idea on value but I would describe them as "jewelry" and not medals.

875 is the silver content (87.5%). Sterling is 925 (925%).

Probably worth a couple dollars just for the silver content. Hideous for anything else. I recommend scrapping out the PM content.

The second one looks like the "stones" could be amber.

Absolutely jewellery and not medals but I wouldn't be so quick to write them off as melting pot items.

The first item looks to be vintage Trifari, designed for them by Alfred Philippe. I would be surprised if it doesn't have a Trifari mark on it. The basic design was patented, so it's not likely to be a knock-off copy. The stones will be 'faux' or semi-precious but Trifari is collectable and I would think that's a $50-60 item if none of the stones are missing, although you will see them speculatively offered for more. Here's a similar one dating from the 1940s:



The second item looks to be Baltic amber, although it may be autoclaved (melted) and pressed to those shapes, which would lessen the value. It's classic Art Deco and likely from the 1930s I would think but also collectable. I rather like it. I would price it in the same kind of region if it's silver but the value also depends greatly on whether it's marked and if the maker is desirable. Again, I would be surprised if there's no maker's mark.

The third item... well... what can I say? Someone must have loved it at some time.
