When we are forced to accept the stones were given to Amandil by the Eldar of Middle-Earth, then I would think they were brought to Middle-Earth by Glorfindel or Alatar and Pallando. That can ofcourse only be when they both came in the middle of second age as is suggested in "The History of Middle-Earth" volume 12.

As an example for such an gift from valinor might be taken the Elessar which was given to Galadriel by Gandalf to keep it for a time and pass it on in due time to the "lawful owner".

If we accept Glorfindel was send to aid Gil-galad in the war of the seconde age, then the stones might be given to Gil-galad for his present needs and to pass them on to the Numenorens in due time.

Yust a small fanfic:
"Only for a time you might use these stones. And a short time it may seem to you. When the one that is named like these stones rules over Numenore you should give them to the lover of Aman, because he will be the greates enemy of your prenst enemy, and his and his kindreds need for the stones in the future will be great."

Respectfully
