2 of the cylindrical beads have millefiore that include clear glass, as may have been made by Vaccari in Venice- and the squat 11-pointed star bead is also drawn glass, possibly Indian, though it has a resemblance to some experimental beads shown by Art Seymour in 2014 that were made by Cedi and him in Ghana.
the other photo shows those pink Venetians with blue spots that have been impressed with facets while soft, and also perhaps flattened by grinding.
for anyone who hasn't yet seen my new book the presence of the finger ring is only to show scale...
