Based upon pattern and patina, I would be very suspicious, especially of the ones in the front row. In my humble opinion, I feel that these are definitely new. And I should be doubtful about all of the others. But the back row is slightly convincing.
Today's Eastern Javanese bead makers are excellent copyists of the ancient Jatim bead.
