I will tell you as much info that I know ,I know this is a Torah pendent , I am sure that it is both yellow and white Gold , both the exterior , and ten commandments in the interior , My question is what are the gems , the clear gem in the middle is , small but a dark blue in nature , and what are the other 4 , I'm sure this is a vintage piece , and my best find thus far .

Wow! Very nice piece!

I can't help with the gems, but I saw a similar estate piece on ebay. They were asking $1200!

Write a quick blurb about how and where you found it and this could be a banner item IMHO.

my best guess -- red is ruby , green is emerald --- the deep blue stone is either sapphire or if purplish toned maybe amethyst

I have a friend that is Jewish, I may be seeing him and his wife on new years, I will ask if he knows anything about it.

That would be Great kytreasureghost ,theclose up photos the stones are arranged from lighter to darker colors , forexample the top right stone is a light Green , while thebottom left is a darker green . But any help in identifying the stone would be a tremendous help .
Hope you and your Friends have a very Happy & festive New Year ..

I would say the green stones are jade, AKA greenstone or pounamu - in New Zealand. The difference in shade of color is typical between two pieces.
The red stones appear to be Jasper.
The central blue stone - you need a qualified person to inspect it, but here's some comparisons

Its a Torah. Sometimes given at bar mitzvahs. I have a jewish friend that owns a large jewelry store and will send him the link. This is a very well made cutom one and very decorative.
You will get more selling it as the custom piece it is to a jewish dealer or store.(not a pawn shop)
Nice recovery I am sure it was a very special gift at the time. I am sure all the stones are real because of the settings. I am surprised there is no date and name on the back.
