They are buttons and the lettering on the back might allow identifying their makers and approximate age. "Rich treble gilt" and similar words were used on buttons from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Such buttons many of us metal detectorists find in the ground in much worse shape than yours.

Welcome to Tnet.
Those are rather splendid. They're enamelled fashion buttons, of a kind categorised as 'Chinoiserie'. Probably all from the same era, and one of them can be narrowed down in date to between 1865-1904.
The backmark 'T W & W' is for Trelon, Weldon & Weil of Paris, France. They operated under that name from 1845-1865 when the 'H M' letters were added to reflect a name change to 'Trelon-Weldon-Weil Hartog et Marchand' The company name then changed to ‘Coinderoux’ in 1904.
