Any ideas where from and what stones are?

Peridots, or glass and Chinese fresh water coin pearls

 

Looks like mabe pearls and peridot to me.

 

Thank you

 

I thought that Mabe pearls were a lot smoother...

Cute bracelet. Probably made in India, where the usual gem and gem setting place is Jaipur, Rajasthan, NW India.

Estater, are the backs of all the pearls as smooth as the one in the photo?
If so, I would say baroque Mabe pearls. Yes, they do exist.

The green stones need to be tested to see if they are peridot or glass.

 

I do not believe those are Peridot since it is not very durable.These could be Tourmaline. Peridot is my Gem stone and my husband gave me a true peridot ring. I had to have the stone replaced twice since it cracked. I have a number of bracelets in this style. My father was a geologists and for Christmas every year he had me pick out a bracelet at the rock shop in Sedona. So it is probably not even vintage.

 

Didn't know the term "coin pearls." Thank you! Have a vintage necklace with same. I've been calling them "flat." (Fortunately, only to myself.)

When checking pearls, rub the pearl against your teeth. It it is gritty it is a pearl. It it is smooth it is glass or plastic.

 

You're right, they are flat. And maybe pancake shape rather than coin shape. But there you go, that's pearl shape names for you. Potato pearls is another strange name.

 

Oh, no! Not "potato pearls." (Another new term to learn.)

« Coin » pearls seems to be their marketing name (Chinese love auspicious names, potato, though...)

 

I know! And which shape is that exactly?

 

Valentine shape!
