    I agree.
    The silver tone beads look like they are starting verdigras.

    The green could possible be peking glass or copy of. I really doubt they are jade or stone.

    1940s -50s grapes Possibly inexpensive Carmen Miranda look

    Cluttered, I'm not sure what you are seeing, but there is no verdigris on the silvery beads. There isn't even any on the brass clasp on the backs.
    I do think the green beads are some sort of stone, as they are quite cold, and stay that way for some time when put against my cheek.

    If you do a google search for silver beads from India you'll see some very similar to these. I don't see these as being NA in style or construction, but they could very well be from India or that area of the world.

    It's probably the fuzz on the old eyeballs - Seems I see things that aren't there more and more often.
    Sorry.

    That is what mine sort of look like, but mine don't seem to have that "lip" as they called it.
    I will take some close-ups of a couple of them in a bit.
    I am under no illusions as to the value of my beads though. :D

    I hate to say it, but those look like they have copper solder. So...probably not. I don't think a Bali silversmith would use copper solder. They might still be silver though.

    The design is actually fairly common, I have had many pairs of earring like these. Many times they are made with faux pearls or a mix of pearls and glass or plastic beads, but the style I think is still made until recently. I get a slightly vintage vibe from them

    I had a Schiaparelli fur clip with lots of tiny jiggly green faux beads once.
