Eilat stone? Israel bracelet

One for @evelyb30 perhaps.

Picked this up today. The plaques are nicely made, the clasp is tat, which is odd. Not replaced either. I'm wondering if it's Palestinian.

 

It looks like straight-up costume from here. The little bits are molded plastic; they didn't even bother to file the mold knobs off the sides. The jump rings are brass, and those bullet cabs are... no idea, but eilat it ain't.

 

I'm with evelyb.

 

Mm, albeit the centre stones are cool, so maybe glass. Odd that it admits to where it was made.

This is under Jerusalem silver but clasp ring is brass.
Have you tested the metal on yours?

 

I've not tested it, although it does smell silver, if you see what I mean. I'm wondering if someone changed a jump ring for that rather tacky push in.

I've squinted a bit. The wee cabs are glass, the centre ones definitely some kind of stone.

 

I used to see beads made of dyed stone in the 80s; I always just referred to it as Random Dyed Rock, never knowing the proper name. By the time this bracelet was probably made there wasn't enough eilat around to waste it on costume settings.
