I’m not sure how big the gap is between the stopper and the opening, or how big the rocks are, but there is a very handy tool that could help if the opening is big enough. Sorry, but I don’t know the name of this tool: It’s snakelike, flexible but with some rigidity, about 2.5 feet long and has a claw-hand at the end that opens and closes. At the other end is a plunger-button that allows you to clutch and release the claw-hand. The claw-hand is about .25 inches wide when closed, and opens to about an inch or so. If the opening’s wide enough you could pull the rocks out with it. I got mine at a hardware store, and had to describe it to two people before anybody knew what I was talking about, but I’ve saved jewelry with it!
