This is a selut of Surakarta style in the njeruk keprok form, it was most probably made in Purwokerto.
The material could be either silver or tin & a selut of either material will have a similar value, the white stones are probably yakut (rose cut rock crystal), the red one probably garnet.
This is not a high quality selut & you might find that the stones are held in place with adhesive, rather than being mechanically set.

Thank you Alan, Why silver and so many stones can not make the selut a high quality one? Many similar hilts don't even have a selut, just hilt plus a small mendahk.
