    The design is fairly recent; I wouldn't bet on those beads being old. Beyond that, you'll need an expert.

    The variations in color resemble Persian turquoise.

    Love the turquoise, Sd.
    I'm with evelyb, the clasp is fairly recent. And I have no reason to believe the stones are very old either.
    That colour range of both turquoise and matrix can be found in several turquoise regions, especially the Southwestern US, and Hubei, China.
    It looks like the matrix in some of the stones is quite soft, which is often the case with Hubei turquoise. It could even be a mix of origins.
