    The bangle is Moroccan.
    Bird brooch 1930s?
    The necklaces are either Venetian or Indian. They are very pretty, and handknotted, which is always good. India has been making these beads for a long time as well, and the bead caps and clasps are too generic to tell either way.

    Bead colours are slightly muddy, so most likely to be Indian. The felted swallow is, I think, a post WW2 home craft piece.

    The beads are on yellow and red stringing; that's always been Italian in my experience. It's supposed to be an indicator.

    I give just my opinion on the necklace, based on the way it's mounted, screwed clasp(?) and the pieces I've in hand through years, a good exemplary of a 70-80's venetian millefiori made with what they called bonbons for the square profile and can be translated by candies.
    As a personal complement, my wife has a similar from my mother's marriage trip in 1946, during the 50's the best ones are made with black base with gold or silver foils included, they haven't the small brass parts to protect the end of the beads which are square more than round, nicest ones have a good value in my country when all original.

    The large smooth beads do the best, of course. That's true here too.

    A little out of subject but they are "decorative" copies from antique trade beads on the marked, they are like sanded in my opinion by acid etching, the real old trade ones are more smooth and have traces of wear you not see on the repros.
