It's nice art glass. Let me go think about the maker.
I think 1980s and American or British. Nice stones, might be Swarowski. That big bling waterfall thing was huge in the 80s.
Not frit, but certainly tutti frutti aventurine. Sold in the tens of thousands in shops in Venice.
Over here, we often call it Jacobethan or Tudorbethan. ;) Olde Charm are still going strong - http://www.woodbros.co.uk/old-charm-furniture/
That white glazed clay is often Italian or Portuguese.
komo, yes, the silver one isn't costume. ;) I suspect the gold bits are gold wash. And that is indeed a Celtic plaid brooch. It's big, too....
The maker is probably Olde Charm.
Maker has no impact on value of these. Very common and sell for not much more than scrap here.
The bracelet is marked Mexico 925. It's very fine and it fits. Oops. Brooch is only costume, but REALLY heavy and well made.

Veneer is irrelevant, that was used on Georgian furniture. For example.
I vote Czech. I've some lovely necklaces with that glass and stamped metal. I think yours is older, given the length. 1930s.
It's a metamorphic nursing chair. Not a lot of value here, maybe £30. Id think 20s or 30s maybe.
Yup, 1970s or so tourist souvenirs and almost no value, sadly.
Could be. The lid is a standard mass produced component, I've had a number of boxes - not musical - with it used.
French trinket box, pretty recent and not much value I'm afraid. Made in the tens of thousands in LImoges.
