Yes, Mexican. Maker JGC from Mexico DF (federal district, Mexico City). Before 1980.
The maker is mentioned in my sources, but not identified.

 

Obsidian stones.

Or man made glass. Not unusual in Mexican jewellery, which is why I didn't comment on the material.

 

Seconded. Since obsidian is naturally occurring glass, even a gem tester won't help. Most smaller Mexican makers aren't known.

 

I have a ring of the same design, only a red stone, definitely Mexican like JA said! Nice design! I always found the ball on the back curious. I supposed it was to keep the ring from rolling on the finger. So, why would it be on earrings ? Just used the same pieces and added tops?

 

Here's a dup pair. Looks like mark reads JGG.
